Supporting a dog holistically

It takes a Village

Be it a message, an email, a Facebook support group, an enquiry whenever people ask for help with their Dogs we have to work as part of a multidisciplinary team for lack of a better word, for your dog.

This isn't to cost you as much money as possible or help our friends and colleagues to have work.

This is because your dog isn't a number and is an individual.

For example, lots of people enquire about classes for behaviours that cannot be worked with, within a class setting.

This is because within a class setting we have a lesson plan, this lesson plan has been created to meet the needs of several dogs and each owner has paid an amount for that class.

So following a lesson plan we can ensure all of the Dogs have their own time to be supported and we can visually see what is happening and support as needed. Everyone is able to participate and have fun.

When classes get broken down into individualised questions these can only be answered in a rushed way, it's a class and there isn't time nor is their the opportunity to do a behavioural referral.

This is why we have to have one to one's for specific behavioural advice and behaviour modification.

And we need to understand the why of the behaviour, the why of the behaviour can be medical, which is why we need a vet to examine your dog first. Because if the behaviour is medical no amount of behaviour modification will change the Dogs behaviour.

We may then find that your dog needs further support from a Canine Chiropractor who may recommend working with a Hydrotherapist too.

You may be given specific protocols which need to be communicated to your Dog walker and dog sitter if you utilise them. You may find your dog walker and dog sitter need to give feedback to the Trainer or Behaviourist or both depending on who your working with.

You may find your Behaviourist wants you to work with a Trainer or your Trainer refers you to a Behaviourist or a Specialist.

This is all because your dog is an individual and as soon as you step into our care, wheels turn in motion so that your dog has the greatest care and success with behaviour modification as possible whilst you the dogs guardian are also supported.

So don't be surprised that when you enquire about your dog, you suddenly find yourself supported by a multidisciplinary team who all care about your individual dog!

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!
