Reviews and testimonials 

​I had my first training session with Tasha and Natalie recently, inspiring and encouraging is an understatement! As a wheelchair user finding a trainer who understood the unique challenges a wheelchair presents in my training suddenly felt like all the pieces had fallen into place, like I wasn’t on my own trying to adapt able bodied training set ups to fit(or not fit) anymore. Tasha’s knowledge and expertise is second to none. If you’re looking for a trainer to help you find an out of the box solution to a problem or to help adapt to training with limitations I can’t recommend them enough. I’m now looking forward to dog training again. ~ Chris Macmillan 

Tasha is one of the most knowledgeable and skilled trainers/behaviourists I have ever come across. Not only are they passionate about what they do, but they care as deeply about your dog/s as you do.
Tasha uses science based, force free methods and is constantly updating their CPD. Which means they are always my go to person for absolutely everything!
The first thing that drew me to Tasha was how understanding, empathetic and trustworthy they are. These characteristics are incredibly important to me as I feel more at ease with someone that is non judgemental but is also incredibly skilled. 100 out of 10! ~ Laura Nicholls 

In just a few sessions, changed my relationship with my dog and with dog training overall, in such a good way. Tasha is compassionate, incredibly knowledgeable, and patient. Having the support and accountability has given me the courage to continue to work with a dog that at one point I wasn’t sure I would be able to keep, as she was so reactive, dog selective, anxious and wound up. Thank you ❤️🙏 now I can have a respectful, gentle relationship with my dog that fits so much more in line with my values as a parent and human. Not only that, the cost is very reasonable, and training comes with a whole community. Can’t recommend them enough!!!
~ Esther Theresa 

​Not only is Tasha an incredibly gifted dog trainer, they are also a phenomenal behaviorist and what they don't know about dogs isn't worth knowing. Yet Tasha is also one of the most humble people you could meet- who openly admits there's so much more we can learn about dogs. As a result Tasha is passionate about continuing education in order to help owners with the most up to date, science led, force free methods. Despite Tasha being a genuine 'Dog Oracle' as an owner you will never be made to feel intimidated or inadequate when asking for help. No question is silly- Tasha will always answer your questions with compassion, kindness and a genuine desire to help you and your dog. Tasha is also commited to making training accessible for everyone! Working regularly with disabled owners and tailoring behavioural/training plans to suit both dog and handler. This includes offering both in person or zoom based consultations which is hugely beneficial to individuals who may struggle to leave the house for training classes.
A genuinely 10/10 trainer and individual!  ~ Liz Bean Lidstone

​We adopted Tofu a little over a year ago, and we experienced issues with him being anxious with different noises and around other dogs. Being first-time dog owners, we were pretty clueless as to what we could do to help him, until we found Miyagis. Tofu has improved so much in just 6 months. He pays more attention to us and is so much more confident in himself. He is also having fun learning new tricks regularly
Tasha is very knowledgeable about dogs. I love that their training methods are positive and completely force-free. I also appreciate that they reassure us during training sessions that it is a safe space, which to me really shows how they not only care about dogs but also the humans they work with. I would highly recommend their services. ~ Tzu-Ling Liang

​I just wanted to write this because without tasha we wouldn't be where we are today with Trevor.
We rehomed Trevor a partially sighted and completely deaf greyhound last June when he was only 6 months old. He'd had no training and had been in kennels and Foster homes for all of his puppy life. Initially we began to have second thoughts as he was boisterous and had no idea of personal space. We enrolled with a local puppy training group, but it turned out to be kennel club and we spent most of our training sessions sat on the sidelines. They tried to give us tips but really had no knowledge on how to train a deaf and partially blind dog.
Then we found tasha and oh my have we a different dog now, he sits, lies, waits and occasionally stops when signalled.
On Sunday I thought we had faced our biggest challenge yet, he can react to other dogs on walks so when faced with 4 greyhounds (his friends) in the local park I used the training techniques we had been taught. He wasn't fazed at all, but then he was met with 2 Jack russels, an elderly german shepherd all off the lead and a free flying parrot, I really thought he's going to react. No he sat as good as gold next to his dad waiting for his hand commands, even when the german shep decided to try and take the treats out of hubbies hand in front of trevs face. Believe me trev got lots of praise and thumbs up.
So there I am gutted we didn't video it to show tasha but excited to tell her, when today he excelled himself, he was met Head on by at least 8 tiny chihuahua dogs all off the lead (squeaky toy shaped for trev) he watched me walked straight past and didn't react at all. He's totally forgiven for eating 2 hard boiled eggs and a homemade Swiss roll on Sunday.
So thank you tasha thru all the naughty moments, the ones like this and just how far he's come and me with your help is absolutely fantastic and very much appreciated. Even more so that thru lockdown you've taken the time to organise online training for us all.
Trevor and myself thank you very much ♥ 🐾

Easily the best trainer in the area. So many local classes are bias toward breed and use training techniques I find unacceptable but not Tasha. She doesn't judge what type of dog you have or what behaviour issues you might be struggling with, all she wants is the best for your animal. On top of one to one training for the more serious problems us dog owners sometimes face, she also holds seminar days that focus on specific areas of dog behavior. Then there's the weekly training classes for basic obedience and socializing your dogs. So there really is something for everyone. Including agility classes which the dogs just love. She has the knowledge and experience you want from a professional with the compassion and encouragement you could only hope for from a friend. I won't be taking any of my beloved pups anywhere else. ~ Lizzie G

We started using Miyagis about 18 months ago after our Staffy was attacked by a Labrador and became fear reactive towards other dogs. After a set of 121s we moved on to obedience classes and have now progressed to agility training. My 13 year old daughter is the main handler, I am just there to supervise, Tasha has been so patient and understanding with them both, I am really proud of what they have achieved. Tasha is a great trainer, she tells it like it is, but knows her stuff and the results speak for themselves :) ~Laura Waite

Natasha is someone who knows how to train the dog owner aswell as their dog. She offers great support during class and encourages us humans to put in the hard work reinforcing what has been learnt in class by doing our homework! ~Caroline Outlaw

Very experienced and high lights the dogs needs and focuses on us as an owners to understand our dogs behaviour and work individually. Group reactive classes are fantastic as it gives us and our dogs confidence to push the boundaries and makes us realise that we’re not the only one with a reactive dog ,and trust each other in a group and our dogs to make another step forward in understanding and supporting our dogs, I’m so happy how far we have moved forward in class and a massive difference in my dog and in myself. ~Rachel Mettam

Miyagi's training has help me very much with my dog. Rusty was reactive to dogs and humans. When I first started with Tasha, he had to have a muzzle. He wasn't friendly at all to anyone. After having one to one training rusty is now without his muzzle and will walk off lead, and will greet other dogs on the beach without showing any aggression. He is still nervous of humans, so that is still work in progress. But with Tasha's help I am confident he will improve. I would highly recommend. Tasha is patient , great with all dogs and works with you 100%. ~Rachel Milne

We have been using Miyagi's Dog Training services for the last 4 months, and couldn't be happier with the help and support Tasha has continually provided. She has taken our unsocialised, hyperactive puppy and helped transform her into the loving family pet we dreamt of having.Tasha always goes above and beyond in helping us and our dog, and any issues or worries we have are quickly resolved. Her one-to-one sessions are invaluable, as are her group training sessions each Tuesday. Tasha also provides friendly and positive advice regarding nutrition and behavioural matters, which is backed by her numerous awards and qualifications. ~Evie Gold

So impressed with the progress my Lola (Jack Russell puppy; 14 weeks) has made in just less than a week. She is sitting and waiting and also only having the odd accident in the house. Big thumbs up to Natasha and thank you for all your advice and help. I look forward to what's to come!! ~ Sarah Warwick

I bought my 13 wk old spaniel to the puppy classes tonight. We really enjoyed it, such a friendly atmosphere and Natasha is a young lady that definitely knows her stuff :)... We are really looking forward to next week. Also my 1-2-1 sessions with my other spaniel. Highly recommend Miyagis dog training :)  ~ Hayley Simpkins

I have had tasha in twice now to my home. She is really helping with not just the training but the knowledge of my dogs. She is really good in a home from home environment. My children loved having her to help. Just need a trainer for them now lol. She really is making our dogs and home happier ... thank you can't wait for our walking session ~ Lorraine Drury

Natasha is a lovely, friendly and polite lady who is fantastic with my two staffies, she has oddles of patience and everything we have done so far as worked a gem. She's a credit to dog trainers. ~Carla Round Heathcoate

I have a 10 week old Northern Inuit, Tasha came today for our first training sesson. Very impressed, found her very easy to talk too. No question was silly and Tasha offered lots of advice and tips. Looking forward to our next sessions.
Would highly recommend.  ~Mandy Leggett

I have 2 staffies and I struggled walking them due to them pulling me. Rather than me taking them for a walk, they took me ! I loved walking them as puppies and began feeling it was more like a chore. On our first training with Tasha they were walking by my side within 30mins! I didn't think this would be possible and would take alot longer. I took them for a walk the day after their training and stuck to the training. They walked lovely I couldn't believe it. I now enjoy walking my dogs again. We are now training recall and I know after the training we have had, this will be successful too. Any queries during the time between your training you can call or message Tasha for advice. Thanks xx ~Hannah Therese

We have a 18 month old boxer who had problems behaving himself and running away as soon as he got the chance as we live near a main road this was a big worry so I called Tasha and after the first time there was a big difference she taught us such a lot and showed us how to practice what she had taught between lessons there has been a huge improvement in henrys behaviour and Tasha is wonderfull a really nice girl who just gets on with it we have a large family 6 kids at home ranging in age and she makes sure we all learn how to handle henry would recommend her to any one she is wonderfull and henry loves her x  ~Louisa Knight

Have taken on a rescue dog, Bonnie an English Bull Terrier but she created so much when she saw dogs, cats and rabbits that it was not enjoyable taking her out. Natasha came out to see her and the second time we met in a public park to see how she reacted to other dogs. She was introduced to a lovely little dog and after a bit of barking they decided they loved each other and you couldn't keep them apart. I never thought on the 1st session of meeting a dog she would react so friendly and I would never have had the confidence to introduce a strange dog to her so all thanks to Natasha I know she can be worked with so will continue the training so she is comfortable with all dogs x  ~Sue Savage

Natasha assisted me in the training of all my dogs past and present... Especially my very dominant rescue, Anatolian Shepherd dog ...he loved her... All achieved by positive reinforcement... I would definitely recommend her to anyone, she really understands the psychology behind the dogs behaviours  ~Deborah Regan

Amazing trainer! Really knows her stuff n gets stuck in straight from the off. Would definitely recommend! ~Kerry Markiewicz

I had Miyagis Dog training come and train the Landlords dog who I live with, he's a Boxer who's aggressive to other dogs and to us when we try to leave the property, so Tasha came and showed us how to leave without being pushed around and bitten and on a walk in a dog park on how to control the dog around other dogs and his pulling.  ~Jordon Gregory

What a fabulous lady Natasha is . Mitzie our gorgeous border collie has learnt so much this morning . Can't thank you enough Natasha See you at training tomorrow . Kellie Megan and mitzie Kelly North + Thankyou so much natasha, today Mitzy has shown a lot of improvement with people and also dogs. You're great!x Megan Cooling ~Kellie North and Megan Cooling

I'd recommend Natasha as a trainer, we have only had a handful of sessions so far & still have more on the agenda. After our first private lesson (1hr) our dog, Patch, was already significantly different. Over the past weeks he is a completely different dog in all aspects of life & we have Natasha to thank for that. She is the first trainer we used & will be the one we stick with, not just for patch but for any/all dogs we have. We love Natasha's approach, not just with Patch but we love how she uses her own dog as a training tool, she uses a holistic approach to both the dog & family care, always allowing all members of the family to be a part of the training exercise. I can't thank her enough for the happiness & contentment she has given to our household, she is truly outstanding - 5* training, if you need the help of a dog trainer, look no further! Thanks Natasha, you're amazing xx ~Emily Rose

I wanted to give a testimonial to Tasha, who sorted out my staffie in just one home visit! He is adopted and was one year old when we got him! Ozzie didn't know any commands- even sit, and with him being older we were worried about if he could learn! Tasha was brilliant with him, and us! In one home visit he was sitting, lying and even waiting for treats! Anyone who knows Staffies knows that waiting is alien to them! Tasha have us so much help and also written exercises to continue with. She is an absolute marvel and I have no hesitation in unreservedly recommending her. ~Wendy Van Der Horst

I have known Natasha for quite a while now and found her to be an honest, reliable and trustworthy person, who is passionate and committed about her dog training and classes and dedicated to the welfare and rescue of abused dogs.
~ George Saxon (Mayor of Skegness 2014-2015)

If anyone is looking for a Dog Trainer, I highly recommend Miyagis; She has been brilliant with my Gelert and is a huge support to me with guiding me through training and how to deal with behaviour and has adapted ways for me to deal with Gelert with having VEDs and keeping myself safe when he gets excited. Gelert loves her so much.
~Carolyn Smith

Natasha ,with Jordan's help runs a professional , helpful and extremely friendly dog class . Natasha spends time with every dog giving help and advice . It's obvious she loves animals . All dogs and owners are made to feel welcome, no one is excluded . Natasha has helped our rescue dogs Daisy , Frankie and Woody to socialise as well as basic commands . We can't wait for agility classes !
~Joanne and Simon Noden

Natasha Attwood is a fab Dog Trainer who runs classes as well as working on a one to one basis, my Dog Stanley came back on his recall everytime something we were really struggling with, he is really listening and learning now. ~Ruth Slinger Wilson

First puppy training session done, went really well, couldn't reccomend Natasha highly enough. Thankyou so much!!!
~ Charlie Dobson

Woody and I would like to say a big Thankyou for the 1-1 training you gave us, he now walks to heel, sits at the kerbside and allows me to sit and have a peaceful coffee with friends and stand and chat to the neighbours without barking and showing off. He is now enjoyable!
~ Sally Young
Wonderful dog training services. Patient and thorough. Very knowledgeable staff.
~Helen McThighe

Such an amazing dog trainer. Had about 5 private sessions with Tasha now, 4 with diesel. I'm seeing improvements with Marley more and more each week. Marley wasn't socialised with dogs as a pup, scared of everything and today's session, for the first time he played with diesel! Each session he's calmed down quicker when meeting diesel and is slowly starting to calm down when meeting other dogs. It's incredible the change in him. Not only is she helping to build his confidence, she's helping to build mine with him. I look forward to the session every week. Definitely well worth it!xx
~Melissa Ball

Tasha has helped my 5 year old Staff come on leaps and bounds. He now has manners.
~Tina Peltell

Lovely lass always willing to help if she can. Evan after your training sessions she always replies to you with any other questions or advice so give her a try x

~Zena Greenhalgh
Very professional but relaxed classes. Always has time to chat about individual issues. Welcoming to all, including kids who absolutely adore Tasha. Recommend to anyone.
~Rachel Howarth

After nine months of Miyagis weekly classes the difference in my dog (and my own confidence) is incredible! Natasha is helpful, patient, very knowledgeable and is always happy to answer any question however random they may be! 5 stars all the way!
~Rachel Hoare

Tash is a good trainer I have a staffi and she loves Tash to bits and joss to she goes to classes on a Monday so she can learn to b round other dogs this is the third wk we have been and u can c a change in my staffi so thanku Tash for all u r doing xx
~Gillian Askew

We have been going to Miyagis dog training for 7 weeks now and our puppy has already come so far with his training. Natasha is very helpful and will always answer any questions in or out of classes. Classes are fun and light hearted, everyone is made to feel welcome and relaxed. Highly recommended by myself & Oakley :-)
~Joanne Perzhilla

In February I contacted Tasha as I had a dog reactive, disobedient Staffordshire Terrier. We had a set of 121 sessions and then joined group, first at Orby and now at Skegness. What he has achieved in 5 months is amazing, we have all learnt so much along the way and I was so proud tonight when my daughter Ella took him through his phase 1 assessment. I would highly recommend Miyagi's
~Laura Waite

Natasha has the patience of a saint. She doesn't only work with your dog, but helps the owner. From personal experience she gave me the confidence to actually go out with jess. I know that sounds horrible on myself but I couldn't face leaving my home. Tash took the time and never judged me.
I would recommend her to anyone going through the same.
~Lynda Ellis

Excellent training school. Helped me to understand my dog more. Tasha has the patience of a saint. I have seen first hand some dogs come in stressed and leave much calmer and more relaxed
~Carla Wilson
​
Tasha kindly visited last week to help with our 11month old working cocker. She instantly bonded with all our dogs and had a very calming way with them all.
By the time our first visit had ended, Beau our puppy was listening to our commands and at last trying to do as she was told !
Every day we continue to keep her focused on all the trained we had from Tasha and I must say Beau has really improved in just one week :-) A big Thank you !!! ~Michele Vrettos

Tash loves her job, and is the most patient person with the owner as well as the dog. She makes going to training fun, and the dogs actually learn. Would recommend her to all dog owners who need some help with their pooch with a trainer who doesn't judge you, but actually someone who works with you,. ~Lynda Ellis

I would definitely recommend Tasha she is a brilliant dog trainer and extremely patient. she has helped both myself and my dog Nala. Nala had issues from being tiny, having to have operations on both her back knees for Luxating Patellas, this meant she was unable to socialise for many months. She then appeared to be showing signs of aggression and another dog trainer said she was definitely dog aggressive. After finding Tasha she showed us that Nala wasn’t aggressive at all she was just very cautious and nervous. Tasha brought Diesel to our one on one sessions and slowly Nala began to trust Diesel and they are now good friends.
Nala still has some issues which we are working on but she has improved so much and I feel a lot more relaxed walking with her. I just wish we lived closer so we could have training on a more regular basis. Both our dogs Simba and Nala love to see Tasha.
~Mary Anne Jones

Tash is amazing. The training and confidence she gives the owners is brilliant, and even my mad dog now listens to me. I recommend Tash to anyone new I meet with dogs and I can assure you.. Everyone with a dog needs Tash in there life x x x keep up the good work x x
Thanks for being you x x x ~Tracie Twigg

Fabulous training, very patient and also there not just as a dog trainer but as a friend too! Highly recommended :) ~Dan Martinez

Always recommend Tasha, always helpful and friendly, always makes time to try and help! 5* ! ~Danielle License

Before Tasha we had a total of five Trainers none of which could help our boy or refused to work with him and put him in a shed for the session. Tasha truly understands our Dog, he is calmer, being socialised and now doing agility which we never thought we would do. We believed he was a lost cause and couldn't be helped. Highly recommend 🐶 ~Teresa Davis

I started puppy classes with Oakley when he was 12 weeks old. Tasha is very approachable, friendly & extremely good at what she does. Everyone feels at ease in her classes, both dogs and handlers. It is fun and relaxed. I would definately recommend Miyagis to all dog owners. ~ Joanne Perzhilla

I would recommend Tasha at Miyagis Dog Training to anyone. My GSD has some 'issues' we were told by another trainer, he was aggressive, wasn't inquisitive as a dog should be. We left that trainer after nearly 6 months of hell! After finding Tasha, we discovered he wasn't a lost cause, he was scared! The improvements we have seen in Shadow have been unbelievable at times. He now attends fun agility, (early days) we are working on his fear of people. All this is done without harming my dog physically or mentally. Please if you feel at a loss, and no where to turn. Call Tasha at Miyagis Training, you truly can be helped, and your dog deserves it. ~Shirley Morley

We came to Tasha after Buster was attacked by a dog on the beach and became dog reactive through fear. After a block of 121s we then joined classes and he has come on leaps and bounds, he has passed his stage 1 assessment (with a little help from his handler Ella, my 12 year old daughter) and is now starting to do off lead work and getting to be introduced to other dogs. There were points where I never thought we would get to this so thank you! :) ~Laura Waite

Absolutely amazing person. This is 1hell of a dog trainer I would recommend to anybody.. I have used dog trainers before but none have come anywhere close to Miyagis Dog Training. ~Mick Arling

Tasha came to see us at home with our new puppy. We are experienced dog owners but there is always something new to learn and we wanted to make sure we were "doing it right". I was amazed how quickly Tasha stopped Pupkin from barking and this worked later when I fed him. She explained the hows and whys of what was happening with his bladder, which helped us enormously. Her methods worked so quickly, too. We are now much more relaxed with Pupkin but will be joining a training class to make sure he socialises well with other dogs.
~April Taylor

Went to my first seminar today and met Tasha for the first time. enjoyed my day and my eyes were opened to ideas and has made me re think. looking forward to my 1-1 sessions that i had already arranged with Tasha and joining in on one of her dog training classes.
~Sue Peters

Had sessions with Tasha and my dogs attitude and emotional state has completely changed.
So much happier and now I can continue on what Tasha has taught me! 100% recommend Tasha and Miyagis. Thank you so much. ~Daniel Lambra

I would definitely recommend. Tasha is extremely talented and loves what she does. She has been training my little Airedale pup Holly since we got her and Holly has come such a long way.
~Lyndsay Turner

absolutely amazing! would definitely reccommend she worked miracles with my dog meeting others � ~Anthea Pagram

Excellent service. Tasha is very knowledgeable and patient, and is interested in teaching the owner the skills they need.
~Wendy Wainright

Tasha is brilliant highly recommended. Great with the dogs and their owners. Very knowledgable in all aspects and always willing to help. ~Caroline Outlaw

Would not hesitate to recommend Tasha. She has performed miracles over only a few sessions with our aggressive rescue Westie. Without previous knowledge of what triggers the aggression she has given us techniques to work with which are proving highly successful. So pleased we didn't go elsewhere - she is a gem!
~Sue Caldicott

Tasha is an amazing dog trainer. She has helped Daisy over her nervous disposition and is working with Alfie with his vocal issues and recall. Tasha is a lovely person to deal with. Try for yourself ~Linda Jones

Couldn't be more happy. Very professional and highly recommended ~Jax Terry

I have struggled with my dog � for a while and I didn't think anything would work to help me with him including dog training. I was recommended Tasha and after only a few sessions I have I have noticed a massive difference in my dog � he's still got along way to go but I know with Tasha's help we will get there. We've already had a massive break through where I actually walked my dog which I never thought would be possible can't wait to reach more milestones with him. I know this will be hard work for me and my dog � but with Tasha's help support and guidance know they will happen ~Lisa Smith

Been going to puppy classes for 6 weeks now and we absolutely love it, not just our pup but my partner and myself love it too, the people are such a good bunch. Watching Ruby grow in to such a cheeky character is amazing but she does listen too! �� ~Sarah Budby

Tasha has been working with our dogs to resolve reactivity towards the other dogs in our household. I am really impressed with the results so far. Everything she does is based on positive reward and the dogs enjoy the sessions with her. Thanks Tasha. ~Claire Elvin

As a brilliant trainer, Tasha has transformed our nervous, unsure 1-year-old dog, who had never been socialised, into a positive dog who now walks happily through the busy town and down by the beach. Tasha continually offers advice on behaviour, nutrition and exercise, which has all proved invaluable and extremely helpfulI would highly recommend her weekly classes for any dog of any age and any breed. The classes are easy going and fun and we come away each week having also learnt something new ~Evie Gold

We have been having one to one (four) training with Tasha for our over excited Cavaliers after a few sessions they have calmed down so much, that we don't need ear defenders any more. Tasha is a very friendly and patient person. We are looking forward to joining her group session with our fur children. ~Dave Oldstabon

Went to puppy classes, our puppy loved it, learnt the basics , now attending Agility classes so much fun. This week a one to one on recall can't wait.!! Tasha is amazing trainer and is always happy to go that extra mile for you. If you have any worries , questions she's always happy to help � Thank you Tasha for everything ~Tanya Osbourne

I love the class at Orby! Everyone in the group is absolutely lovely and welcoming, especially Tasha - the trainer! She's amazing with the dogs and with people � Jynx and I love her and the lessons ~Harriet Grace White

Brilliant knowledge and handling with dogs big or small! Introduced my yorkiepoo to my nans Sheppard dog. Thank you! ~Lucy Paul

Top class (excuse the pun)! Highly recommend! Tasha is fantastic and our little pup is always excited to see her. If you’re after obedience or agility Miyagis is who you need! ~Martin Thomas

Amazing trainer, so much knowledge and patience and a friend for life. Nothing is silly or trivial to Tasha ~James Howard

The pups had a great time getting to know each other,girls had great patience not only with them but also their learner "parents". Thanks for all your support and guidance. ~ Caroline Marsden

Love going to class every week and Rocky loves it too! Tasha is so patient and brilliant ~Sarah Gullen

I really recommend tasha as a positive dog trainer, she is so down to earth and really takes her time to get to know you and your dog! And the reactivity seminar and workshop was a well planned day and success and I left feeling a lot more confident ~Christine Baldwin

I would highly recommend Natasha @ Myagis, patient , caring , informative and a pleasure to work with , our Labrador is coming on nicely , Thanks Natasha for continued hard work ! ~Melanie Hall

We have been having one to one with Tasha with our cavaliers, we think she is the best trainer around (and I have been to a few over they years, Whom I would never take my dogs back to again) In just a few sessions we have managed to get our dogs out of the house without the over excitement we had before, Tasha is so easy to get on with and she is friendly and caring with people of all abilities, she is patient with the dogs and they love her to pieces. ~Lynn Osbaldeston

Had a great session today with 5 other reactive dogs and my reg, makes you realise you don't have to do this alone and avoidance is not the answer we were all in the same position and everyone did so well looking forward to the next class ~Rachel Mettam

Can not thank Tasha enough to the brilliant start to training of my boys Max and Jake .put me at ease straight away.and I know with her help will have two amazing well trained dogs.would highly recommend both myself and my fur babies are looking forward to our next training session ~Sally Roberts

Easily the best trainer in the area. So many local classes are bias toward breed and use training techniques I find unacceptable but not Tasha. She doesn't judge what type of dog you have or what behaviour issues you might be struggling with, all she wants is the best for your animal.
On top of one to one training for the more serious problems us dog owners sometimes face, she also holds talks that focus on specific areas of dog behavior. Then there's the weekly training classes for basic obedience and socializing your dogs. So there really is something for everyone. Including agility classes which the dogs just love.
She has the knowledge and experience you want from a professional with the compassion and encouragement you could only hope for from a friend. I won't be taking any of my beloved pups anywhere else. ~Elizabeth Garton

Ivy and I love coming. Tasha is brilliant both for classes and one to ones. She’s an angel. Will never use anyone else and I travel 80 miles to use her x ~Muriel Renshaw

I've had Tasha for one to one sessions, been to one of her seminars so far and now going to her weekly classes with my 2 boys in May. Tasha has a wide range of knowledge and it's always interesting talking to her. As a dog groomer myself im always eager to learn new things about dogs in all aspects. Tasha is really helpful and willing to answer any questions u may have...no matter how many. Nothing is ever too much for her � looking forward to more seminars and seeing how the weekly classes go xx ~Jo Wright

Love the approach, the relaxed methodology, everything. Can't recommend enough for what previously felt like an impossible task! ~Kyle Gregory

We have only been with Tasha for a month or so and already Rusty is doing so well. We had reached a point of believing he was beyond any help we could find for him.....then we met Tasha and all that changed. Her professionalism and understanding of our canine family is second to none and her love of all dogs is evident in the manner she approaches her work (which I feel is a labour of love for her). Thank you Myagis Dog Training for renewing our hope that Rusty will have the kind of life he deserves. ~Kathleen Robertson

Really cannot recommend Miyagis Dog Training enough! Our dog is really starting to come on now and absolutely loves Tasha. If you have any problems at all do not hesitate to contact Miyagis as we have tried other dog trainers before (one lady came round and pinned our GSD to the floor and growled at him which was distressing!) I was starting to lose faith but picking up the phone and getting in touch with Tasha was the best thing we could have done. <3 (Our other dog who isnt a problem also loves her visits!) ~Kay Gregory

​Tasha is a wonderful, kind, knowledgeable trainer who clearly loves dogs and has her clients (both human and canine) best interests' at heart. She uses positive training methods; using lots of praise and treats to encourage dogs to form a bond of trust, respect and love so that they want to do as you say!
My Zara is a lovely dog; who can be a little monkey sometimes and has bad manners, particularly towards other dogs (most likely due to poor socialisation). When she first met my sister's dog a few weeks ago, she was lunging and snapping constantly at her!
However, with Tasha's help she is now best buds with my sisters dog and we look forward to further training with Tasha so that Zara can make other doggie friends.
I cannot commend or recommend Tasha highly enough; in fact, one of my mum's friends is now taking her dogs to Miyagis Dog Training as per our recommendation!
Thank you so much Tasha! ~Sarah Taylor

Well I can’t believe what we have achieved with Hector after only an hour spent with Tasha. Although he already knows a range of commands his teenage stage has been putting us to the test and making us pull our hair out. This morning I had a dog that would smash against the crate, bark, howl and whine constantly to be let out and this afternoon I have a dog that will happily have chill time in his own space. We can’t thank you enough! ~Becca Howard

I dont know what Tasha does but she is Superhuman the connection she has with Dogs is amazing, shes trained all 9 of mine and now my sons German Shepherd puppy and she is already working wonders with him x ~Josie Cheetham

I first heard of Tasha through the dog rescue world. Something she has put many hours into volunteering.
She is more than a good dog trainer and behaviorist. Tasha not only deeply cares about your dogs and their outcome, but she also cares about their owners too. Many of these are still her life long friends. All in all an A class Dog trainer.
~Leo Jay

I have attended puppy class with Bonnie for several months, Tashas approach to teaching is fantastic, classes are fun, friendly and informative, it isn't all about training your dog it is also about training the handler to get the best out of your dog. Both Bonnie and I love attending class as it is a relaxed friendly atmosphere which works for both myself and Bonnie. ~Gaynor Robinson

Tasha the dog trainer is brilliant milo has done really well with Tasha training my dog she's very patient and would recommend her to anyone ~Mandy Dixon

Absolutely brilliant. Always available for help and advice. She really helped me to understand my dogs needs.
~Debbie Simms

I would definitely recommend Tasha she is a brilliant dog trainer and extremely patient. she has helped both myself and my dog Nala. Nala had issues from being tiny, having to have operations on both her back knees for Luxating Patellas, this meant she was unable to socialise for many months. She then appeared to be showing signs of aggression and another dog trainer said she was definitely dog aggressive. After finding Tasha she showed us that Nala wasn’t aggressive at all she was just very cautious and nervous. Tasha brought Diesel to our one on one sessions and slowly Nala began to trust Diesel and they are now good friends.
Nala still has some issues which we are working on but she has improved so much and I feel a lot more relaxed walking with her. I just wish we lived closer so we could have training on a more regular basis. Both our dogs Simba and Nala love to see Tasha. ~Mary Anne Jones

Had a terrible time with my two pugs that Tasha sorted them out and was really really good with them would recommend her 100% x ~Carol Howard

Had a brilliant day today 4 dogs out and recalled. No fear. All 4 dogs are so amazingly balanced now. Never thought we would see the day. Love her xx ~Tracey Thorpe

Tasha is the best dog trainer around she is kind caring and most of all she is a great dog trainer I will always highly recommend her to anyone that needs help with there fur babies she works so hard with not only your dog but with you too well deserved success with your business xxx ~Corrinna Spencer

Charley always loved his training at Miyagis and learnt a lot. As we all did Tasha is an excellent dog trainer and very talented in what she does 5 gold stars from us 3 ~Sam Benfield

​Tasha is such an inspirational trainer x instills confidence in the owner to enable them to better understand their dogs making training easier and more fun x we have just got back from an hours session and had the two dogs off lead for the first time x considering that this is only our fourth session x both dogs are rescues and only eleven months old and we've only had them for six weeks I'd say that's outstanding and proof that tashas methods really work x ~Elaine Barker

The classes are friendly , well run and fun . Tasha has time for every dog and owner . Tasha helped us with our 3 rescue dogs , from basic commands to agility . Highly recommend Tasha for every area of your dogs life . ~Joanne Noden

I was at the end of my tether when I rang Tasha for help with Millie my jrt. Tasha was brilliant! Very patient and understanding. She slowly introduced her dog diesel to Millie and slowly but surely Millie started to relax and enjoy playing, something I never thought she would do. I would recommend her to anyone she is a brilliant dog trainer and definitely knows her stuff ~Sue Cocks

Tash is brilliant she's taught all of my Dogs. Taught Millie basic obedience and now working on aggression. Millie is 12 and my chihuahua to enjoy fuss he's 5 and my sisters Pug and baby Pug. They all love her she's ace. Xx ~Jackie Biddle

Tasha is a fabulous trainer, as well as classes, is able to deliver one to one sessions and is willing to work round you and your dogs needs. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone ~Sandra Henderson

Tasha is do down to earth and takes time with both you and your dog! Can't wait till my youngest goes back again tomorrow. She has become funny / aggressive with other dogs but I have no doubt with the continued support from tasha we will get her back to her friendly Young self! I 100% recommend tasha!! x x ~Maddison Cartwright

TASH IS TOTALLY FOCUSED ON YOU AND YOUR DOG SHE GIVES 100% THATS WHY SHE GETS GREAT RESULTS ! She works tirelessly for what she believes in XX ~George Saxon

I would recommend Tasha at Miyagis Dog Training to anyone. My GSD has some 'issues' we were told by another trainer, he was aggressive, wasn't inquisitive as a dog should be. We left that trainer after nearly 6 months of hell! After finding Tasha, we discovered he wasn't a lost cause, he was scared! The improvements we have seen in Shadow have been unbelievable at times. He now attends fun agility, (early days) we are working on his fear of people. All this is done without harming my dog physically or mentally. Please if you feel at a loss, and no where to turn. Call Tasha at Miyagis Training, you truly can be helped, and your dog deserves it. ~Shirley J Houston Morley

Tasha has helped me so much with my first rescue Turkish Kangal that was due to be put down when I got him.
He had tremendous issues and she understood him straight away and he just knew, it was amazing to see his reaction to her. Now I have multiple dogs and I love my dogs very much and always tried to do the best for them and I consider myself good at training them now but problems do arise and sometimes I really need the help and advice from Natasha. It's difficult when I'm so close to my dogs to get an objective view of the situation.
Natasha has a deep knowledge of dog behaviour and she knows the best way to deal with situations, coming from a dog point of view and she has the ability to communicate this to me being the owner. I highly recommend her to anyone, new or old dog owners. ~Deborah Regan

​We have been working with Tasha to improve our cocker spaniels behaviour. He has issues with being possessive, pulling on his lead and biting ourselves. Since working with Tasha his behaviour has improved and we are really enjoying the agility classes. Tasha has endless patience and deserves to do really well with her business. ~Shirley Hardy

I would recommend natasha any day to anyone who needs help with dog training . Before i had help from Tasha i was stressed and my partner was at his wits end with our french bulldog frank but over the past few weeks it feels like a weight has been lifted off our shoulders. Tasha is patient with me and frank and will understand anybody’s situation. She has good knowledge and i have seen an improvement in frank only after a few weeks . I am looking Forward to the future and more sessions with Tasha.i cant thank her enough. ~Melissa Brady

I contacted Tasha after reshoming a staffie! She came to the house and in what seemed like minutes had him sitting, laying flat then giving paw and more - one day only! Then she trained us (harder work) and followed up by giving us clear written instructions, just in case we weren't as bright as the staffie!! Good call in my opinion! She is brilliant that's all I can say! Use her and find out for yourself.... I totally recommend her, I can't believe how easily she got Ozzie's attention and taught him! ~ Wendy Van Der Horst

We have been working with Tasha for a couple of months now, with our GSD, Shadow. Unfortunately we had a trainer before, and Shadow, being quite a nervous dog, ended up with issues including fear aggression. Since working with Tasha, Shadow, and we, are feeling much more confident. Shadow is not very trusting at all, but now he is being re socialised, he is beginning to see that all people are not bad. We still have quite away to go, but the difference in Shadow is quite plain to see. As other people have also commented on how well he is coming on. He is still doing 1 2 1 training, but does go to fun agility one night a week. Which he is absolutely loving. I really can see a light at the end of our very long tunnel, thanks to Tasha and Miyagis. It’s lovely to see our boy getting back to the happy dog he used to be. I would recommend Miyagis Dog Training to anyone, who wants there dog, to enjoy his training without fear. ~Steve Morley

Brilliant Experienced Trainer. Cannot fault anything about whole experience. Worth every penny! Brilliant with our puppy! ~Sophie Lauren Hall

​Brilliant!! Professional very knowledgeable and extremely patient!! Would recommend to all.
~Leisa Paul

Tasha's training style is relaxed, supportive, non judgemental and fun. She allows you and your dog to decide what you want to achieve from training and set the pace. She offers ideas and reassurance and is always willing to talk through methods and try different ideas until you find what works for you and your dog. She's extremely knowledgeable and passionate about all aspects of dogs. She was recommended to me by two separate people and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone! ~Leonie Brown

​Tasha is brilliant with her training, her patience not just for the Dogs but also the humans. Very reassuring. And the Dogs love her. I can’t recommend her highly enough. So if your interested in getting your Dog Trained get in touch with her you won’t regret it. ~Brenda Cousner

Very experienced and professional trainer, classes are friendly and fun. Would highly recommend ~Nicola Annabelle

Tasha had really helped us with our 1 year old Cockapoo and helped keep me sane in the process!! Would definitely recommend Tasha if you are looking for a patient, friendly and knowledgeable trainer! ~Lee Graham

Tasha has been so encouraging since she has been working with us. She has taught us so much about dog behaviour and how to deal with different situations enabling us to be more confident and resulting in great improvements. There is a light at the end of every tunnel , it takes time but worth the wait, thankyou. ~Linda Poysner

Tasha advised us with basic training and socialisation for our very lively rescued street dog when he was a teenager.
4 years on he is now generally very calm although just recently he discovered he likes to play fetch which he hasn't been bothered with before. Timon would enthusiastically push toys at you. as he is 45kg this could be a problem. Tasha can to help us again. within a short time of observing Timon at play she was able to make some suggestions which we adopted. hey presto Timon is responding as we need to. it's 2 weeks on this training session Timon has behaved perfectly putting the toy down and sitting in front of us instead of crashing in. thank you Tasha. can highly reccomened your service. ~Wendy Seabrook

Tasha is the biggest dog lover I’ve ever met and has helped me transform my husky that didn’t listen or care about destroying my home into a soft lovable angel! And is continuing to help me train all 3 off my dogs to walk off lead beside me. She has the passion and patients of no other dog trainer. She is simply the best trainer. Thank you Tasha! ~Connor Kowal

Our dog has joined one of the groups to help him become less nervous other dogs and people. He's a bit of a strange one and we felt he was hard to judge at times and had come across aggressive towards people and other dogs. We were lead to believe he was aggressive full stop and as first time dog owners with kids we felt the only thing to do was to rehome him. We didn't have a clue. But, we messaged this lady and 6 weeks in, we were over joyed to finally see Duke play with other dogs with no issues. It gave us the boost we needed. These classes have taught us a lot about Duke but most importantly that he isn't aggressive, just nervous and doesn't like unexpected attention be it from dogs or people. I'm so glad we decided to exhaust all avenues before finding him a new home. Thank you! ~Bex Vickers

I would like to say a massive THANK YOU! My dog Mars start to be aggressive when he had his second injection when he was 1 year old. Before that he was just a normal puppy he used to love other people. After injection he became aggressive. I am so happy that I fount you and now he is doing massive progression. After today session I am really proud of my dog because now he is felling more comfortable with people and dogs around him. Highly recommended. ~Viktorija Šačikauskaitė

We are first time dog owners so have been attending puppy classes with Tasha. Tasha is very knowledgable and makes you feel so relaxed as well as providing lots of reassurance about what we are doing. I was very nervous about attending puppy classes but within minutes that went away in the presents of Tasha. Massive thankyou. We are looking forward to attending more classes and we have now taken advantage of doing a 1:1 session too. lots of lovely tricks have been learnt during sessions to make our puppy even cuter x ~Kate Lomas

patience and experience as much with the owners as the dog very friendly has a good sense of humour nice to work with ~Kev Standage

Tasha has a fountain of knowledge and a wealth of experience of helping owners and their dogs.
Tasha particualarly understands how to bolster the confidence of owners with scared , nervous dogs.
Using only kind force free methods, time , patience and with the help of her very special assistance dog Diesel she will help you understand your dogs emotions and teach you simple stratergies to cope with everyday situations that you and your dog might struggle with so you can truely have the best bond with your dogs.
Tasha has a range of services to suit all your dogs training needs. Pick uo the phone and contact her today, you'll be glad that you did. ~Odette Hart

I consider Tasha one of my best finds, I mean that with positivity, appreciation and thankfulness. From the first phone contact to our first meeting, which was a group session, Tasha seemed to just get my Cracker. By session 3 Cracker, my cross breed with a reputation in my village as aggressive, was off the lead and avoiding any of the boisterous play, but when another dog paid her too much attention, she didn't bite, or show any aggression, she warned and laid back down. Was I flapping, shouting, maniacally calling whilst chaos (in my mind) was going on???? Not at all, I could see Tasha was watching every dog, looking out for the tell tale changes, assuring us all is OK, and it was. Cracker has settled, seems to like me more, and I have learned to relax, my gentle Cracker is no longer misunderstood by me, and that is why Tasha is a very lucky find. ~Amanda Jane Chambers

Tasha is AMAZING! She makes you feel so comfortable and dogs just seem to click with her! You can tell how passionate she is and that she really knows what she is taking about within minutes of her first working with you. My dogs and I have benefited no end from her help and expertise. If you’re looking for some help with your fur friends then you’ve come to the right place! ~Beth Tedd

I haven’t done any official training with Tasha as we live so far away but I also have a wolf-dog and we’ve struggled with her behaviour. Tasha has supported us every step of the way, giving advice, finding us local trainers who work in the same way she does (although they haven’t been as good) and just generally being a support network for me and my two problematic dogs! Can’t recommend her enough, her knowledge is vast, she’s completely force free and has lots of out of the box ideas that seem to work like magic! I do hope at some point she comes down to Cornwall for a visit so I can take her out for a meal to thank her! Tasha we’d even put you up if you fancied a break! Xxx ~Ema Nicklas

Amazing puppy classes would highly recommend.. friendly atmosphere.. the trainer puts everyone at ease so no anxiety or nervousness around the dogs the trainer recommends the dogs to have a play before or after training which is the best way for a dog to socialise..
Great to teach your dog obedience around other dogs. ~Chris Johnson

Since starting with tasha my deaf and partially sighted greyhound has come on so much its unbelievable. We've learnt so much more than with other dog training groups. She understands Trevors needs and always comes up with solutions to our training needs. Even during lockdown we've carried online and Trevor has stopped reacting on walks and has learnt loose lead walks. Its not only built his confidence but mine too. I can highly recommend her services. ~Kelly Bowness 




Tash is fantastic, so kind and patient. She is wonderful with dogs and knows how to get the best out of them, my pup loved the classes and the things Tash taught us we still use every day (a year later!)
Really wanted to take second puppy to her classes but COVID stopped that, hopefully we will be able come back in the new year
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tash to anyone with a dog, any age or problem xxx ~Jo Reed

Whole heartedly recommended Miyagis,Tasha is very knowledgeable and is absolutely brilliant with both the client and the dog.
Her knowledgeable and calm manner create a safe learning platform. ~Carolanne Street

​We’ve taken various online training classes with Miyagis dog training; from dog parkour, trick training, obedience, canine conditioning etc. I can’t recommend Tasha enough! My dog and I have found classes fun, educational and Tasha’s approach to learning is infectious.
She has gone above and beyond with the training and advice offered to us. Miyagis dog training offers a positive, force free trainer/behaviourist. Tasha has immense knowledge, provides easy to understand training explanations and has a genuine passion to achieve the best results for dog and owner. Absolutely recommend ~Alison Pullen 

Absolutely 100% amazing, tasha is brilliant at what she does. Highly recommended ~ Sarah Whitely 

Tasha is a fantastic trainer and behaviourist, her knowledge and experience goes above and beyond she is always undertaking regular course and development to ensure that her clients are getting the best! She is also very friendly and approachable and the dogs love her!
She offers a range of services which keeps me on my toes we have done hoopers, parkour, tricks,
canine conditioning and we have worked on some behaviour issues.
Overall she is fabulous I couldn’t recommend her enough! ~Natalie Kaye 

I would 100% recommend Tasha. Tasha not only diagnosed his problem in the first 10mins of meeting harvey, she also took the time to explain why this behaviour change happened and how this will be making him feel in certain situations to help me get to understand. We have had 5 sessions so far and i am absolutely amazed as to how much he has improved already.
While she knows everything there is to know about dogs, the empathy she shows them is something that no degree can teach and it is truly special. ~ Emma Smith 

We were attending puppy classes and socialisation with NK9 dog training pre lockdown. Since March we have been doing the 14 day challenges and parkour via zoom as a joint collaboration with Miyagis dog training It’s enabled Ned to continue training which is so crucial and he loves it! Tash and Natalie are so knowledgable and encouraging and this has really given us confidence with our training .
We quickly adapted to the new way of training and it has given us so many things to try day to day.
Very much looking forwards to getting back into “in person” training but would highly recommend the “zoom method”
I just wish we had more time to fit classes in!​ ~Sasha Struthers 

Today was our first session with Tasha, my husband and I along with Sheena thoroughly enjoyed it. We feel that Tasha listened to us, as to what we want for Sheena. She understood we just want a well behaved girl we can take anywhere. Tasha told us how to hold the training lead and what was happening along the walk. What to do if she sees another dog. We need training as well as Sheena, and we feel Tasha is the person to help all of us. I would definitely recommend even after just one session, felt very comfortable with her. ~Karen Power 

tasha has been a great help with one of my greyhounds lulu with her advice she now isn't barking at other dogs
thanks matey xxx ~Lisa Hopewell

My Dog Rusty was extremely reactive. He had a bite history and I was in tears and broken when I met Tasha. I was going through a horrible time at home too and Tasha was a god send. We began on muzzle work and Rusty transformed from this Dog I was frightened of and what he was capable of to my best friend. He was both people and Dog reactive and I also believed he was purely aggressive. I was genuinely thinking about having my Dog put to sleep because I didn’t feel there was anything that could be done. Now I can take Rusty anywhere and I’m no longer afraid of him. He is brilliant around people and Dogs now. He focuses on me and he’s a joy to be around. Not exaggerating at how Tasha transformed my Dog. I truly wouldn’t be without him now. He’s my best friend. ~Rachel Milne 

Who would not chose a trainer that has the knowledge the experience and uses positive coaching methods.Thinks not only about the welfare of the dogs,but of the dogs human family too. ~ Doreen Potter

absolutely first class trainer. definately 5* ~Nicola Davis 

Very calm and patient trainer so I felt very relaxed during training.
Frankie was very quick to realize she was a lovely person especially as she gave him sausage ~ Kareena Hall 

Tasha is quite frankly the most knowledgeable dog trainer I have had the pleasure and privilege of meeting.
She is a breath of fresh air to our world- someone who would drop everything to help a dog, and I joke she is my ‘999’ dog trainer contact if I need to talk anything through as a trainer.
Tasha is FFAF (Force Free as Feck ) and trains exclusively using pain and fear free techniques.
If I lived nearer I would take my own dog Betsy to her classes - and her doggos are an absolute credit to her and her skill set.
The people of Lincolnshire and beyond really don’t know what a true gem they have.
I would not hesitate to refer on to Tasha and have done and would in a heartbeat.
She is totally in it for the dogs, no ego and quite frankly she needs to blow her own trumpet more as she’s fecking fabulous at what she does.
As well as a highly respected colleague and professional contact, I also consider Tasha to be one of my best mates, despite knowing her less than a year, she is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet.
Very down to earth, brutally honest and blunt, but an absolutely amazing sense of humour and emotional intelligence which so many people lack in our world.
If you want a truly awesome, positive, force free, high standard, respected trainer who walks the walk as well as talking the talk- please don’t hesitate to contact her right now.
I have seen with my own eyes how she has changed peoples and dogs lives.
Keep on keeping on tash! Our world needs more peeps like you!!​ ~Ruby Welsford
