I feel so fortunate that Chance came into my families lives. He brought wisdom and patience as well as a wonderful loving spirit. He truly is doing the job he was meant to do. The first session I thought he would be training our dogs Frankie and Samoa. It was us(the family) that needed the […]

Bear’s Aggressive Behavior Improves
We contacted Chance after much (two years) frustration with our dog Bear behaving aggressively towards other dogs, whether it was when he was in the car and would see them on the street, or when they walked past our property, or anywhere, for that matter. He has his particular friends he enjoys, and he is […]
Highly recommended
We have a great experience with Focused K9’s Hawaii!!
Prey Drive and Making The Right Choice
During the Summer 2014 we started working with Chance to help us with Pepper’s prey drive towards other animals (mostly our chickens and ducks, but it carries over to others). I like that he comes to our house with his demo dogs and sees what the problem is first-hand. Not only could we watch the […]
Working Together
Chance has worked with my dog Nya and I on a few of her issues such as overexcitement when people came to the house, pulling on the leash during walks, and most recently addressing prey drive she exhibited toward ducks on the property where we live. Not only is he extremely effective at finding the […]

Baby’s New Buddy
Baby’s New Buddy We adopted Tucker from the humane society when he was 3 months old. After a few months, he started displaying unwanted behaviors and it only seemed that it was getting worse. I felt like I had reached the point of giving up, lost hope thinking it could get better, figured he wasn’t […]
A Lifesaver
Aloha, Chance from Focused K9’s has been a lifesaver for me, literally. I have adopted two blue heelers from the Humane Society and both have had issues with herding/killing chickens. Through working with Chance, not only have I been able to train & stop my dogs from killing chickens, but truly understand the psychology behind […]
Mia
My husband and I adopted Mia from the pound. We were told she was a lab/terrier mix. She was about 3 months old when we adopted her. When we first got her home, see seemed happy, but would pee constantly, and we would take her out often, sometimes every 30 minutes, and she still would […]
Tsugi’s Last Chance
Our 7 year old Tsugi is a mixed breed. DNA test showed him majority a boxer, among 5 other breeds with smaller % figures. He does not look like a boxer, but his personality seems to be a boxer. He’s a bully! He’s demanding and agressive. He thinks he runs our household and unknowingly, we […]
