About Me

I first established my business back in 2019 when I moved to Japan and desperately wanted to work with animals but wasn’t sure how that might be.

I started a University of Washington course in applied animal behavior and fell in love with animal behavior, in particular, dogs.

Once I started working in my local community as a dog trainer, I quickly fell into a passion for training reactive dogs. Often owners came to me at their wits end, unsure of how to carry on, and most importantly just wanting to love life with their dog again.

I wanted to revamp my business in 2023 to really show my love for working with Reactive dogs, and so have named the business after my favorite and most popular course- Yaps to Yippees. Hence the new name The Yappiest Dog!

Please note-

Guided by ASVAB in their mission statement, I do not use any aversive methods or tools. Only force free and science backed training will be used to help your dog.
