Dog Nook Training & Behavior
Why not make the “life with a dog”
you've dreamed of or longed for a reality?
To turn your dog’s ‘troublesome’ behaviors into “adorable” ones.
Based on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), our goal is
to help your dog more easily choose desirable behaviors on their own.
What makes Dog Nook Training & Behavior so special?
-
Analysis based on "evidence" rather than "rules of thumb"
We don't conduct training based on vague ideas or gut feeling. We meticulously analyze behavior and identify its ”function”. We propose a manageable, safe,
and reliable plan that’s tailored to your dog’s needs. -
Training through "addition", not "subtraction" ➕
Rather than forcibly suppressing undesirable behaviors, we aim to naturally
resolve issues by increasing desirable behaviors. This is a stress-free approach
for both dogs and people. -
Deep understanding gained from over 16 years of rescue dog work 🐕🦺Because we have worked with the often complex emotions of rescue dogs,
we are able to empathize with their delicate issues and complex concerns
and offer concrete solutions.
We are currently accepting a few on-site training slots.

Background
Have experience raising dogs of various breeds and temperaments, including Shiba Inu, Japanese mixed breeds, German Shepherds, Shetland Sheepdogs, Welsh Corgis, Yorkshire Terriers, Chihuahuas, and Dobermans.
As a trainer for animal rescue organizations, I have over 15 years of experience and a proven track record in training dogs with complex behavioral issues and unknown backgrounds. Using methods that promote positive learning for dogs without resorting to pain or fear, I successfully address problem behaviors such as biting, growling, and lunging.
As the Executive Director of the VOICE, I host quarterly dog training seminars in Tokyo on various topics for animal welfare volunteers, pet owners, and adoptive families.

犬に関する知識や伝え方は年々進化しています。私たちプロは、
何年も前に学んだことにしがみつかず、継続して学び続けることが、目の前にいる犬と飼い主さまのサポートになると信じています。
愛情をもつのは、言ってみれば当たり前のこと。
でも、そこには科学というしっかりした裏付けがあってこそ、共通の言語をもたない動物たちとのコミュニケーションが成り立つ
のかもしれません。
「心に愛情、目には科学を」
