At Pooch communications we strive to offer your pooches an enjoyable time.

About the Shop

Pooch communications opened its doors in December 2008 in Funabashi, Chiba-ken.
At Pooch communications the dogs are trained with an optimal balance of "discipline", "exercise" and "praise" by professional dog trainers who have gained their skills in Germany and the US, where animal welfare is very advanced.

Our facilities include a spacious dog room laid out completely with cork flooring, a grooming room with aroma therapy equipment, and various fittings to make the stay for our customers' pooches pleasant.
On sunny days the dogs move freely about the dog run laid out in lawn and wood chips.

At Pooch communications we strive to offer your pooches an enjoyable time while we are working to renew the relationship between owners and dogs.

Highland K9 Pet Dog Trainer
Niels Motoharu Seki

Born 1973, in Germany (Berlin)
to a Japanese father and a German mother.
Engaged in the export of Bernese Mountain Dogs and German Shepherds in Germany, followed by an occupation as volunteer worker for dog shelters in the US, India, Sri Lanka and Guatemala. Experience with the rehabilitation of several hundred problem dogs.
Later, after working as an assistant trainer for narcotics detection, explosives detection, and search and rescue dogs at "Highland K9" police dog training school in North Carolina, USA, Niels returned home as a certified Pet Dog Trainer.

What a dog needs most is exercise, followed by rules, and finally time to pass in harmony with its owner.
Many problems such as pointless barking or pulling on the leash occur, because the mental balance of the dog is disturbed.
I have found my answers to this by watching dogs around the world.
And so it is my wish and Pooch communications' goal to assist as many dogs as possible in finding their balance.
