Ash works well training dogs and most importantly dog owners. About 6 dogs and owners followed her down a trail off 599. We stopped at places along the way. First trick, teach my dog to sit. She learned quickly with Ash's guidance. Six tricks in all. The dogs and owners were excited. Ash also teaches one on one which I'm looking into next now that my dog sits on demand. read more

OMG! Ash Miner is the most amazing dog trainer. She is calm and kind to the dogs (& owners). She uses positive reinforcement and can always get my dog to understand a command (I'm the one that needs to practice more!). No bells or whistles...just love, play and patience! read more

Where do I even start with my experience with Ash? My dog, Lukas, is a rescue guy I have had for several years. I needed to get him used to being around other dogs. Or, more to the point, I had to get over my anxiety that Lukas would be fine with other dogs. I have learned to walk him, let him enjoy the outside and have him respond to commands. What I like most about Ash it is ALL about positive reinforcement. There are not buzz collars or prong collars or any punishment. It is all about rewards, learning and letting you pup be his/her best self. For me, it was life changing in how Lukas and I do life. Give her call! read more

Before we started training with Ash walks were always stressful and occasionally ended in tears. I've tried other trainers before but no one was ever able to connect with my dog and understand him or bring out his personality beyond his anxiety. She has helped him learn to be a dog, he now sniffs on walks, rolls in the grass, and is able to walk past dogs across the street without going over threshold every time. He's even made amazing progress in the pack walks and on 1-1 sessions with Takoda, her wonderfully patient dog. I even recently had a neighbor comment on his improved behavior, something I never felt was possible. I travel an hour away for lessons, no one else compares to Ash's knowledge, compassion, and commitment to improving the relationship between a dog and their owner. I will be leaving the area soon and finding someone else to take over our training will be a huge role to fill. My dog will miss her, I will miss her, and I wish I could selfishly take her with us. If you're looking for an experienced dog trainer that uses evidence-based training, I highly recommend Ash. read more

Ash of PATH is an incredibly talented trainer who is patient, empathetic, kind, and intuitive! She is able to think outside the box and adapt to each individual dog's needs! One size does not fit all and she is able to create custom plans for each dog, working with the client and their personal goals for their canine companion. Both of my dogs have very different personalities and needs. She was able to come up with ways to treat each of them! Ash has multiple master's degrees applicable to working with canines and almost two decades of hands-on experience to back her book-knowledge. Her professionalism and top notch skills perfectly intertwine with her love of dogs, and I can easily see both shine brightly with each interaction she has with my beloved fur children who are my whole world. Ash performs expert assessments of each dog and is very skilled at reading their body language. She is an excellent teacher to owners. Those who put into effect the things she demonstrates can see incredible changes and results! At PATH there is a genuine focus on "relationship first." Ash helps you build a partnership with your dog and learn how to build, or even repair trust between you and your canine companion. Doing so has helped tremendously with my goals! It laid out a strong foundation on which to build and pursue the things I want to accomplish with my two dogs! Ash is a master at behavior modification for dogs that have struggles, and is compassionate towards owners that fret over their dog's struggles. If you are one who suffers from anxiety and often find it overcoming you when it comes to your dog, Ash is definitely an amazing person to go to, as she is very comforting and encouraging! She genuinely cares about you, not just your dog. She is personally invested in you and your dog with her time, energy and effort. Ash is a shining example of what a behavior modification specialist should be -- invested, genuine, compassionate, knowledgeable, skilled, intuitive -- a true partner in your journey with your dog, trustworthy. I cannot shower her with enough laudation to express how grateful I am to her and her expertise. I highly recommend PATH and Ash with the utmost praise and enthusiasm, and I am confident that you will too! read more

Ash is wonderful. She has helped us with our two retrievers in so many ways. We have worked with Ash for behavior correction and I have come to understand the needs of our pups and why they were exhibiting certain behaviors. I recommend Ash for all things pup training . read more

Ash is skilled and gentle. She makes training super fun for the dogs! Ash truly is intuitive and came up with a training plan that is perfectly tailored for each of my dogs. One dog has a huge personality & tons of energy. Within minutes she taught her 4 new skills & my dog wanted more of this fun game! The other is very shy & scared, a stray from Mexico. Her plan is focused on helping her be more relaxed & confident Ash is teaching me to recognize signs of fear, and reward her for relaxed body posture. Then we can move forward with some training. Ash notices every nuance with my pets & also in the environment. She is a natural leader & a great communicator. I am being trained along with my dogs. Best of all they're happy & respected during the training. I cant recommend her enough, and I cant wait for our next session! read more

Charley will do anything Tasha asks him to do, he simply loves her. We tried three other trainers and were very unhappy with their methods. When Tasha arrives for a training session Charley is excited and happy to "work" for her. He knew a a couple of basic obedience commands, but has learned enough since to work as my service dog. Tasha saw the potential in Charley and worked to develop and direct his abilities. We are both living a more fulfilling life and for that I am very grateful to Tasha. And a little jealous that Charley loves her so much. read more

We love Tasha! We first met with Tasha when we brought home our 8 week old Goldendoodle for a puppy consultation. She is a wealth of knowledge and really is a "dog whisper". We have continued classes with her since then and I am happy to report that our almost 6 month old puppy is very well behaved and we credit that to the wonderful training we have received from Tasha. So if you're looking for a trainer, look no further. You won't be disappointed! read more

PATH Dog Training & Behavior - Breck. 6 month old Goldendoodle. - Pet Training Near Me

Tasha is an amazing trainer. We have tried several other trainers to help us with our Miniature Schnuazer, Thor. None of them understood him or why he behaved the way he did. He isn't trying to be 'alpha', he's just nervous and excitable. Tasha understood him immediately and her methods have really helped us. She is always gentle and patient (with dog AND owner :)). I can't recommend her service highly enough. She has really made a difference in the life of my little guy and our whole family. read more

Tasha has three of the most valuable traits one can find in a dog trainer: sharp observational skills, excellent problem solving abilities, and flexibility in implementation. Add her deep knowledge of dog behavior, training experience and empathy for both dog and owner and the result is harmony between you and your dog. P.S. Gotta do your homework, though! read more

I am so glad I joined Tasha's Meetup group (IDogs) she has helped me so much with my Maltese named Lily who is insecure around any new dogs. Tasha gave me valuable insite and direction with using the (BAT) method Behavior Adjustment training. Tasha's patients, passion for helping, knowledge and insight has been a blessing to me and my precious dog Lily. After a few sessions of working with Tasha I ended up joining her Granted Wishes K9 team. I highly recommend Tasha for any dog training issue or need. She is a cut above the rest. read more

Thank you! We can now take Finn out to lunch and he will settle and we can relax too! Thanks for taking a reactive and nervous boy and helping him learn that new things are ok. Just last Sunday we were out at lunch with him. A group of 4 woman approached and went Gaga over him - in his face, petting his head, etc. He stayed in his settle and appreciated the attention. read more

I found Tasha on Meetups.com for Socialization Rehabilitation for my dog Scooter. He is scared of people and other dogs and Tasha has worked with him for over a month and he's improved greatly! Not only does Tasha work with your dog, she also gives you information on what to do in different circumstances that you will encounter while working with your dog on your own. I would strongly recommend Tasha to anyone seeking a dog trainer. She is great! read more

Since April of this year my husband has been working with Tasha and our Labradoodle "Lucie" in her comprehensive Service Companion Dog Training program. We have just about completed the 25 week program and Lucie is a new dog. My husband is an amputee and it was imperative for Lucie to control her excitability, manners and strength. Tasha taught Ritchie and Lucie to work together on proper service dog heeling, voice commands, play time vs. work time and how to develope their mutual trust of each other. Also to master helper skills and to not race up the stairs. Lucie even heels to the wheelchair like a pro. Tasha is very loving, patient and knowledgeable on all dog breeds, their characteristics and training protocols. She is also very loving to Lucie and other animals. We highly recommend Tasha's programs for standard obedience or more specialized for individual needs that you may have that your pup might be able to help you with. We are happy to speak with anyone that may be interested. read more

Tasha really knows her stuff. I learn a whole lot in just one hour and 15 minutes. I look forward to do the idog with my kids.

Tasha has worked with dogs of all breeds, from a 5-pound Chihuahua to a 160-pound Mastiff and every size in between. She treats each dog as an individual, and tailors each session to the needs of that dog and their person. It really is training for both ends of the leash. There is no one-size-fits-all program, and she never uses force. I've seen her work with fearful dogs, dog-reactive dogs, dogs with a history of abuse, and dogs who just don't know how to be a dog. They have all benefited from her insightful training methods and her never-give-up work ethic. My own dog trusts her implicitly, and so do I. read more

Hounds in Harmony is the kind of business where the founder's passion is matched by her talent...and it shows!

My five month old Doberman puppy just returned from Puppy Bootcamp with Tasha. My puppy and I both learned a lot from our training experience with Tasha. She is terrific! Tasha provides daily training session videos every night, as well as update pictures, videos, and email communications during the day. Tasha was very flexible and understanding with my separation anxiety about having my "baby" gone, for what seemed like forever (one day), and adjusted the training schedule to allow me to adjust to her absence. I can't imagine anyone being more gracious and accommodating. My pup learned and mastered many verbal and non-verbal commands. I am so proud of her. The most impressive skill she displayed is being able to resist a high value treat, an inch from her nose, and "leave it" until she was given the okay to go for it! I love showing that to everyone! I highly recommend Tasha and her Puppy Bootcamp training. A well-trained dog makes a wonderful, lifelong companion, and Tasha definitely knows what she is doing! read more

Tasha at Granted Wishes K9 was great! She was able to help my reactive dog Dolce! I've seen many dog shows like Cesar Milian and wasn't convinced punishment based training was the right fit for Dolce. He is a super sensitive pup and I worried about damaging his self esteem. I was thankful that I found Tasha and her positive approach. She worked with me and Dolce allowing for me to bound more with Dolce then ever! I can't say enough, Tasha was a godsend. read more

Tasha is a wonderful trainer. I have 2 reactive dogs, both reactive to different things. I searched for many months trying to find a positive reinforcement trainer willing to work with reactive dogs. I couldn't find anybody. Then I found Tasha's iDogs group through meetup. What a relief. Tasha had different exercises and approaches for each dog. She is amazingly patient and works great with all sizes/personalities of dogs and their people. read more

Excellent and Professional trainers. We spent one hour on the weekends with Tasha and our new puppy who had never been socialized with other animals. Within a month he showed a vast improvement in his behavior towards other dogs as well as humans. If you want positive results in a relatively short time I would highly recommend Granted Wishes K9. read more
