Working remotely is 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.

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 and behaviourist for them) , Schutzhund and Protection. Tasha still today works with working Dogs, such as assistance and therapy 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 practitioners, dog walkers and other trainers and behaviourists.

All this experience helps them to holistically support any dog, pup, rescue or senior.

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, 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.

We established our business because…

I care about dogs and their families, I want to help people before they feel they have to give up on their dog. To show people how to work with 6 major components for complete holistic wellness and how to holistically care for their dog and meet their behaviour needs.

Why dogs love what we offer…

Holistic methods encapsulate the whole dog, rather than the behaviour, there is a reason for a behaviour and this is so broad it cannot be due to one single element. I use six major components to identify a behaviour, work to establish emotional connections, bonds and connection seeking between the dog and their human family.

The advice we give dog owners is…

Patience, kindness, love and understanding. Embracing an holistic attitude and path for a dog embraces their whole being, their complete wellness and sees each and every single dog as the individuals that they are.

“Amazing ”
by on 23rd December 2018
I have known Tasha since she was a teenager. I have never seen anyone with the affinity that she has with them. She can turn her hand to any Dog and the Dog will show her the greatest respect and confidence. I have seen her handle aggressive Dogs to puppies and she is amazing. I do not mean this in a generic term you have to see her in action to fully understand my description. I have seen Tasha go from strength to strength in her career in this ever competing industry. She does not give a toss about being famous only the owners and the Dogs she is working with in the hopes of them developing a similence of a bond she shares with Dogs. You really do have to see her in action. A+
