Assistant Instructor Megumi Toda.
Head Trainer David Smith B.Sc CPDT
David was born in England and loved dogs since childhood. He has studied
with the world's leading dog behaviourists and trainers, and is a member
of the APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers), JAPDT (Japan Association of Pet Dog Trainers) and is certified by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers.
In 2000 he gained Puppy Class and Aggression Problem Solving Certificates
and in 2004 a Canine/Human Interface qualification with merit. But he believes
you can not get better teachers than the dogs themselves.
David lives in Nikko with his wife and five dogs. He has competed in agility,
obedience, and sled dog competitions with his mix breed rescue dogs, winning
a first place in agility with his dog Toby.
But what he really loves to see is dogs and their owners communicating
and enjoying time together.
Megumi began to study behaviour and training in 1998. She enjoys training
Japanese mix breed dogs who tend to be very intelligent but also rather
fearful and independent.
Although she has successfully competed in obedience and agility she believes that dogs should be appreciated and enjoyed for what they are ,DOGS
