Introduction: Our training takes place in your home. When Kawa Farms dog trainers conduct adult dog and puppy training in your home, they will assess your current household dynamics and how they influence your dog's behaviors. After making any necessary adjustments to the environment, Jenn will then teach you methods of communication that will help you communicate with your dog confidently and with ease. No matter what breed, age or issue, Kawa Farms' natural, dog-friendly methods are proven effective. Kawa Farms has the flexibility to meet you and your dog's needs. Jennifer Hirakawa, Co-owner of Kawa Farms-and primary K-9 trainer with over 13 years of training experience, brings her students a rich background of instructing and training. Very active in the canine training community, Jenn is always continuing her education about dogs thereby providing you with the best, well-researched training options available. With Kawa Farms K-9s Dog Training is not just for competition students, our positive training methods are designed to teach your dog the obedience commands that will make him/her a more enjoyable companion. A dog that can accompany you on hikes, family vacations and to social gatherings is a happy and fulfilled dog. Training not only benefits you, but your dog as well. Kawa Farms K-9s does things a little differently from most other dog training companies. We feel that dog training is about building better communication skills between you and your dog. We do not use harsh methods; everything is based on positive reinforcement and dog psychology. Kawa Farms K-9's trainers are AKC Canine Good Citizen and AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Evaluators. Kawa Farms K-9 Training is also a Member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers, The Pet Professional Guild, and a graduate of the Animal Behavior College.

Kawa Farms K-9 Training has been working with me and my beautiful boarder collie now for over a month and she is learning all kinds of positive behaviors, thanks to Kawa Farms. The instructors truley listen to your needs as a pet owner and are 100% willing to do whatever it takes to make you and your pet reach your goals together. The thing I like best is that they understand each breed of dog and actually work with you to understand your pets behavior. I have full confidence that they have the knowledge and skills to provide superior training that will lead to a healthy and happy relationship with you and your pet for years to come.

Back in September we adopted a 5 month old very timid puppy whom we quickly fell in love with. After just a couple of days her timid nature started taking a turn from running and hiding to barking, hair raised ball of anxiety when any human other than Dan and I came over, walked by, etc. I was scared, worried that we had gotten in over our heads and feeling quite helpless, and then I found Jen. Jen listened to my concerns and gave me a few things to work on and came to our house the very next day. Jen continued coming to our house for the next 3 days and sat in our living room while Addi barked continuously. Since then we have beendoing obedience training with her every other week and have seen so much improvement in Addis confidence and demeanor. Jen never gave up on Addi, she has been so supportive and helpful and I honestly don't know what we would have done without her. Jen's passion and love for dogs becomes quite obvious the moment you meet her, she's undoubtedly in it for the right reasons and we are so thankful to have found her!

Mary thank you for your kind word, I am very very happy that you didn't give up either during the stressful times! I love watching Addi do nose work now. Would you have ever guessed that she would :-)

Jennifer was a great help to us on the basics skills we needed a refresher on. Her technique is different than our previous trainer and now my daughter and dog are really in sync.

WOW... Amazing Job. I can't believe all the things our puppy is now able to do on command. Sit Down Come Heal Loose Lease Walking And so much more. Kawa Farms answered every question I had and went above and beyond to help in any way they could. I would recommend Kawa Farms training to anyone and everyone that has a puppy or dog...

Amazing business! More than reasonably priced for the best training in the Midwest. Our three dogs learned so much and keep getting more well behaved. The trainers are accommodating and understanding and willing to do whatever it takes. You can tell they truly care about their clients! We are excited to continue classes!
