​The Online Academy is also available to all 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, just click the Miyagis & NK9 Academy Online School Tab above to be taken to the school.


We understand that this is a frustrating time and not everyone likes to work with technology, however we ourselves have found online sessions much better for the dogs in reducing stress, especially for nervous and reactive dogs, much better to work around families and not worrying about childcare. Online sessions and classes have helped so so many dogs and their owners throughout lockdown, some of these people were with us before Covid too so have attended in person and online and they love the online sessions which can be seen in the testimonials section.

​Through Tashas Accreditation as a Fully Qualified Dog Trainer and Behaviourist Tasha is a member of the UK Dog Training and Behaviour Charter. Which is exclusive to those with the highest qualifications and a rigorous vetting process.

You have to be mad to use Miyagis; you have to love Dogs, see them as family and to be against hurting them to get behaviours from them that you want. You won't get an Old School Dog Trainer and you won't get someone patronising and terrifying and you won't get an assistant who doesn't know what there talking about or just observes. Dogs are allowed on the sofa and the bed. Dogs are allowed to socialise and Dogs don't have to be staring at your hip on a walk. You get the very best and the very best support and we hate aversive methods it's all about the Dogs happiness.

They have no agenda, they are not here to make you work in a way which does not suit you or your dog. Tasha will work with you in a way which suits both you and your dog.

Tasha began as a Dog Walker as a Teenager and their Dog Training has spiralled from there, they use techniques to meet the dogs and your requirements, they do not follow a specific training agenda, they work holistically with the dog. Tasha has worked with the Kennel Club, with Rescue Dogs (including home checking, volunteering for Rescues as a Recognised and Certified Dog Trainer for them) , Schutzhund and Protection. Tasha still today works with working Dogs, such as Service Dogs, Gun Dogs, Protection Dogs and Medical Alert Dogs, Blind and Deaf Dogs and Dogs with Special needs as well as various Vets, Canine Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Hydrotherapists, TTouch Practioners, Dog Walkers and other Trainers and Behaviourists. Tasha also works with the Police and Dogs who have had ASBO Orders put on them by the Police to ensure that they are not a danger to the Public and to rehabilitate them as well as guiding the owners. All this experience helps them to turn her hand successfully to any Dog, pup, rescue or older.

Doom is one of the very first Dogs with nervous aggression Tasha trained way back when they were 18! He will always have a special place in their heart and as you can see in the photo they have always stuck with Positive Training and love towards Dogs it's not just something that they say. Deb (Dooms Owner) was so nervous when Tasha first met Doom and they hit it off straight away. Deb rescued him and he had been badly abused. He was such a sweetheart just nervous. Deb and Tasha are still close friends now and Deb often asks for advice for herself or her friends, as well as her breed specialist Facebook group which is international, so when Tasha say's you get a friend for life through working with them. You really do.

Or are you looking for support and would like to get to know me better?

If the answer is yes then click the image below to join my free facebook group. What is Miyagis Dog Training Community?
​
​So it is what it says on the tin! Its a community that is international of Clients and Colleagues with the most supportive and friendly people on the planet. Dog Trainers and Behaviourists from all over the world!

Why did I set up such a mammoth group?

​I wanted to have a group exclusively for Clients. For support and to meet uo and build on friendships from Classes or One to Ones. I want Clients to see you are not alone with your Dog and the problem you maybe having that you are not the first and won't be the last! I wanted a safe place where Clients could trade stories good and bad in one place for free!

I also wanted a safe place for the Trainers and Behaviourists I mentor within Social Media Platforms.

Why do this for free?

Because when I say I offer an holistic service I really do. It isn't about the money it is about you and your dogs. You and your dogs are all that matter.

​So I wanted to encourage people to do homework and build better quality relationships with their dogs. So 3 years ago I had a mad idea and set up the 100 days of dog training challenge. Once a day people would spend 5 minutes plus training their dog. Recording it and uploading their video onto the Community. Every participant recieved a Certificate.

​What I didn't count on was how many Professionals wanted to join and how fast word would spread. So this year 2020 I set up a 366 days of dog training challenge. This year people are getting Certificates, Rosettes and Trophies.

​Next year they want it again! We are growing again. So 2021 we will be having Certificates, Rosettes, Trophies and Prizes from my amazing colleagues.

We have Clients in America, Greece, Norway, Denmark and Spain. We have Trainers from Greece, Norway, Isle of Wight, America and many more Countries. As well as Dog Trainers and Trainee Behaviourists I mentor all over the world.

​So again yes this group is free. It is still primarily for Clients and for people to get to know me but we also have the Challenge running. Again for free. So if you want to join click the image below to be taken to the group directly. See you there!
