About Us

Dogs and humans can be comfortable and have fun,
Let us support you to live comfortably together.

In addition to providing support for building a deeper bond between owners and dogs, we also provide support for foster dogs adopted as adults.
We will provide in-depth consultation on everything from communication to correcting your dog's problematic behavior.
How to "dominate" a dog by using painful or painful tools, or by yelling, shocking, or threatening.
I won't take it at all. This is because the behavior is currently within the dog's repertoire of necessary behaviors.
It is one thing, and taking it away by force will never bring good results.
Not only that, but also a technique called positive reinforcement.
Isn't there an element of "force"?
Let's take a closer look.
We will explain this to owners in an easy-to-understand manner and help create a comfortable environment for dogs and humans.

Knowledge about dogs and the way we communicate about them are evolving year by year. We professionals don't hold on to what we learned years ago.

I believe that continuing to learn will support the dogs and their owners in front of me.

Treating others with love is a natural thing to say.

However, only with solid scientific backing can we interact with animals that do not have a common language.

Communication may be possible.

We continue to pursue lifelong learning with the motto "Love in the heart, science in the eyes."
