Disability Pride Month : In conversation with Tasha Attwood
Dog Centred care with Andrew Hale https://fb.me/e/rVVNuEqli
Completely free to join the group and attend!
I am really looking forward to welcoming my dear friend and colleague Tasha Attwood to the group , to chat with us about working in the dog industry with differing physical, mental and emotional abilities, and working with clients who might also have differing abilities.
These words from Tasha :
Disabled people are faced with challenges everyday beyond their "diagnosis" the challenges that people face are being accepted, included and integrated.
The dog training industry is no exception to the exclusion and ableism that disabled people endure.
Being disabled is a challenge because of society and pre existing attitudes and their own image of "disability."
Disabled people can and are challenged ranging from annoyance at having to be inclusive and accessible by law, to assistance dog teams being harassed and refused, to being challenged on their disability and interrogated, especially if the ableist individual deems a right to know as they cannot see "their" version of a disability.
Many individuals hide from public view due to their disability or if they can, do not disclose that they have a disability, leading to difficulties in functioning in day to day life to their exclusion. This is draining on mental health and at detriment to the individual hiding by feeling the need to put on a mask to be accepted. This is more than a need to feel included, this is for protection and safety of the individual.
It's not just humans who face disability discrimination, dogs do as well, ranging from exclusion from services to much worse, for a simple lack of understanding or seeking education and knowledge on how to support our disabled companions.
This is why Disability Pride is so important, disability pride month is a deliberate follow on from Pride month for the acceptance and inclusion of disabled people whether a part of the LGBTQIA+ community or not, because the pioneers behind Pride and Disability Pride month saw two communities who overlap who have a history of being rejected and worse, by societies all over the world.
I hope by being open and starting conversations about "disability" not being a bad word that we start a ricochet of understanding, inclusion and the freedom to say proudly we are "disabled" or the preferred term to that individual.

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!
