Canine Coach Hawaii Dog Training Academy

Canine Coach Hawaii Dog Training Academy offers dog boarding in Kailua, HI that is built around obedience training rather than overnight care alone. The academy runs its board-and-train stays from 770 Keolu Drive, and it also teaches puppy classes and lessons for owners who want to keep working with their dog at home.

Programs and amenities

• Board-and-train stays with 24/7 supervision
• Puppy School program for young dogs
• Private and group obedience lessons
• Recreational yard and outdoor play time
• Go-home transfer lessons after the stay ends

What sets it apart

Enrollment is limited, so a small number of dogs are in the program at once and each one gets individual attention. Dogs are supervised around the clock, and the days mix structured training with recreational yard time. The go-home transfer lessons are the piece many owners overlook: the trainers walk the owner through what the dog learned, so the commands hold up once the dog is back in its own house.

Who it suits

The format fits a dog working through obedience or manners issues, a new puppy that needs structure early, or an owner who wants the training to continue after pickup. Both group and private lesson formats are available, which helps if a dog does better working one on one. Owners can also start with lessons alone and add a stay later.

Practical details
