Happy People

Yoko’s class was Fantastic! She made it fun while always ensuring the core content
was understood by all. Her love for dogs was obvious but what impressed me most was her ability to get us humans to understand how are dogs think, behave and react.
I highly recommend Yoko.
-John S.
When we tell our dog, Stella that we are going to visit Yoko, she can barely contain her excitement. We signed up Stella for both the Obedience 1 & 2 with Yoko and she had such a good time. Yoko’s training style is positive, encouraging and playful with just the right amount of loving discipline thrown in. Stella was eager to please Yoko--not just because of her delicious treat--but because of the relationship that Yoko established with her early on.
Her patience in working with Stella and ability to appropriately challenge her were spot on.
We can’t say enough nice things about Yoko and our experience with her, so we will leave at this, Stella loves Yoko and so do we.
-Sasha M.
We are very pleased with Yoko’s training method and the support and expert advice she’s given us along the way. Let me start by saying Yoko’s like energizer bunny, she marches along and never runs out of power.
She is positive, happy and has a hilarious sense of humour, and it’s a pleasure to be around her.
Yoko truly loves her furry clients and always sets them up for success. Yoko taught us how to work with our reactive dog and we’ve seen tremendous improvements and continue to work with our dog to help her to feel more confident and calm around her triggers. She is dedicated and has you and your fur baby’s very best interests at heart, she’s wonderful to work with, her method works!!
-Shelley C.
"When I first got my new puppy at 12 months, I did not know where to start! I was inexperienced, nervous and worried about how to train my "new born baby". After getting training by Yoko Sakai, she made the whole process easy, made me at ease and helped Rolo in commands and making him feel like part of the family. With her excellent personality and friendly service- she developed my puppy with commands, good habits and discipline. I would strongly recommend her to any new clients as she cares immensely about all her dogs she trains and is a committed trainer"
