To pick up or not to pick up...

Dog training is all about learning. It's all about learning what to do and what not to do. As human beings it is hard to not copy the media world and celebrities. This particular topic I'm thinking the Paris Hitlons of this world. It is not OK to pick up and carry your Dog. Dogs have 4 legs. They can walk. They need to walk. The only time a Dog should be carried is when it is unwell and your getting it somewhere. When a Dog is well. You shouldn't carry them. People have told me before that they used to carry their Dog until it nipped them on the nose. This is stress. Dogs need to be able to smell and investigate the world around them. Carrying them prohibits them from doing this. You are also teaching them it is too scary to meet other people and other Dogs. When they do finally come into contact with people and other Dogs your Dog goes crazy. I've seen excuses made for this and heard them all. The tell tale sign to a Trainer is the dog scrabbling up your leg when you claim you don't always carry them. It's hurting your Dog to be carrying them. Your not helping them or making them feel loved. Your creating a nervous wreck who is literally struggling with their own identity. Yes love your Dog. But remember as much as you love them they are a Dog. They eat different food than us, they toilet different to us, they have different toys to humans and treats, they have differing grooming needs. They play and socialise differently to humans and they enjoy life differently to humans. So please share this with your friends if they are guilty of this, love your Dog and treat your Dog as a family member just not as a human child 🙈

Or are you looking for support and would like to get to know us 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. 
​
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!
