About Dog Socialization & Confidence Building
Not every dog wants to be a social butterfly. My approach is centered on helping your dog feel safe and chill, not forcing them to be everyone’s best friend.
What I Actually Do
- I focus on building your dog’s confidence for the real world, not just dog parks.
- Neutrality is the goal - your dog learns to be relaxed and pay attention to you, even when there’s madness around.
How We Get There
- For anxious or fearful pups, I use confidence games and object exploration to help them face new things without freaking out.
- We introduce a muzzle in a chill, positive way - it becomes a helpful tool, not a punishment.
- For dogs that bark or lunge, we do slow, controlled intros and group dog walking sessions (pack walks). No forced playdates.
- Your dog gets exposure to all sorts of places and surfaces - parks, cafes, busy streets, you name it. Real-life stuff, not just training halls.
- My German Shepherd Duggu is my demo dog and vibe-setter. His calmness rubs off on even the most nervous dogs.
What You Need to Know
- This isn’t a quick fix or a paanch din ka course (5-day miracle). You’ve got to put in daily work. I’ll coach you, but real progress comes from your consistency.
- Ideal for puppies needing a good start, adults with baggage, or any dog who needs help to stop stressing about the world.
I’ll be real with you - it’s not always easy, but the payoff is a dog who trusts you and handles life better.

My Story
I’m Disha, certified canine trainer, but honestly, I’m just Duggu’s mom first. Duggu’s my jaan, my demo dog, my partner in all things dog. You’ll spot him in most pics, being the goodest boy since 2022. मेरी छोटी सी दुनिया (my small world) is just me, my dogs, and this work. It’s not a job, it’s my heart. Patience, intent, and those moments when a dog finally clicks with their human—nothing beats that. Grateful every day.
My Work
Canine Training & Homeboarding - I offer puppy socialization sessions, advanced obedience for GSDs, leash walking, reactivity management for dogs, and homeboarding for anxious dogs.
Training is a Daily Thing - Dog training isn’t a quick fix. It’s a routine—practice every day, everywhere, for life.
Real Socialization - Socialization isn’t playdates—it’s teaching dogs to be neutral and calm in any situation.
Safety Comes First - If your dog’s reactive, leash them up. हमारा काम है उन पर काम करना, पर सेफ्टी सबकी जरूरी है (Our job is to work with them, but safety matters for all).
