Back then, trainers just wanted to use chains and scare tactics. We said, nope, not for us. Our own Phoebe, wild and clever, proved that patience and play work wonders, even for the most fearful dogs. So here we are, still learning, still loving the chaos, raising confident dogs, not robots. ### My work - **What we offer**: 1:1 consults (online & Bangalore), puppy foundation, behaviour help for aggression/fear, Online dog behaviour workshops, Pre-adoption dog counselling. - **Our approach**: No shock or prong collars, ever. We use reward-based puppy training and positive reinforcement. It’s about your dog’s whole self. - **How we work**: We get to know your dog and you, set routines, maybe some crate time, lots of games. Slow and steady, always step-by-step. - **Real talk**: No such thing as a 'fully trained dog'. We help you build a bond, not just a list of tricks. ## Book To book Confident Dogs, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'd%20like%20to%20book%20Confident%20Dogs.)
