I am originally from Japan. I started my dog training career as an intern with Companion Animal Solutions and Georgia Peaches Puppy Rescue while completing degrees in Canine Behavior Analysis and Animal Assisted Therapy. I worked with autistic children as a behavior therapist under the supervision of Board Certified Behavior Analysts to become a better service dog trainer.

My love of learning led me to complete multiple certifications and courses such as Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), an Accredited Dog Trainer through the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (ADT-IAABC), a Certified Family Dog Mediator (FDM), Fear Free Certified Animal Trainer (FFCP) and a Canine Good Citizen (CGC) and Trick Evaluator for the American Kennel Club (AKC) and Atlas Certified Trainer (Atlas CT). I specialize in behavior modification training, cooperative care training (medical and grooming behavior training), interruption behavior training such as vocal tic interruption.
