"As a certified pet dog trainer I spend much of my time with puppies and their new pet dog parents. My first and biggest goal is to teach my clients how to properly socialize their puppies. That covers so much more than just other dogs and people. Much socialization has to do with accepting handling by a stranger. Tomoko's thoughtful gentle approach is a gift all puppies should get with their first squeaky toy! In my not so humble opinion if all puppies had Tomoko as their groomer there would be a lot more puppies growing into full grown dogs looking forward to the grooming experience as opposed to needing muzzles and drugs to survive the experience. Tomoko is a gem."

“Tomoko has been grooming my long hair Chihuahua for more than 2 years. He always looks amazing afterwards, but even more important is that she goes out of her way to be sure he is comfortable and relaxed throughout the process. He literally jumps in delight when he sees her. She is thorough, caring and professional. Highly recommend."
Rhonda & Hurley
"Tomoko is a wonderful trainer because she genuinely cares about the animals she’s working with, and gets to know their families and circumstances so the training has more meaning. A few years ago before meeting Tomoko and engaging her services we were very close to re-homing our Pomeranian puppy. But her talent, skill, patience, and compassion made all the difference! Tomoko also grooms all four of our dogs, so the whole family now benefits from her many gifts. We can’t recommend her more highly and wouldn’t work with anyone else."
