## About Dog Behavior & Owner Consultation

### Why Dogs Don’t Listen

So many folks come to me saying, "Nanna naayi yaake nanna maatu kelalla?" (Why doesn't my dog listen to me?). I get it - it feels frustrating. Usually, it’s not the dog, but a communication gap. Dogs need 'maryade' (respect) and for us to see things from their side.

### What I Actually Do

People call me Dog Guru, but honestly, the dogs are the real gurus. I’ve worked with thousands of shwanagalu (dogs), each teaching me something new. I’m not your typical trainer. My focus is on the psychology - finding the root cause, not just patching up the symptoms.

You’ll hear me say, aggression isn’t just ‘bad behavior’ - often it’s fear. Leash pulling? Sometimes it’s anxiety, not stubbornness. My work starts with understanding, then showing you the right dog owner communication skills for your situation.

### What Happens in a Session

We meet on video call, just you, me, and your dog. I’ll help you read canine body language, understand what your dog’s really saying, and give you practical stuff to try at home. My job is to guide, but you’re the one who’ll make the change happen.

### What We Can Fix

- Aggression (towards people or other dogs)
- Excessive barking, chewing, leash pulling, anxiety, jumping, not listening
- Puppy basics: potty training, biting
- Even advice on picking the right breed

### End Result

You’ll walk away with a calmer dog, more confidence, and a better bond. Like I always say: “Ninna naayi ninna maathu kelbeku.” (Your dog must listen to you.) Not out of fear, but because you get each other now.

## Meet your expert

[Dog Guru](https://mytribe.in/dogguru.in)

### My story

They call me Dr. Amrut, Dogguru. PhD and all that, but honestly, dogs are my real teachers. I’ve trained with police squads, forest trackers, even done BBC stuff, but the real joy? Watching owners change along with their dogs. People used to think I’d just fix their dog and return it. Nimma driver diesel haakiskondu bandre nimma car odisokke baralla (If your driver fills diesel, you won’t learn to drive). I teach you to talk to your dog, not just make it obey me.

### My work

- **All Dog Services**: We do puppy basics, adult obedience, socialization, agility, aggression control, breed selection consultation, and professional dog trainer courses.
- **Dog School is a Must**: At school, dogs learn to listen outside four walls, meet others, and handle distractions. Can’t bring 10 dogs to your house, right?
- **It's Psychology, Not Magic**: I dig into canine behaviour modification, not just commands. Real solutions for aggression, anxiety, and fear. Teamwork: you, me, your dog.
- **Every Breed is Different**: Breed selection matters. I guide you on which breed fits your life, climate, and space. No one-size-fits-all.
- **The Owner Must Learn**: Training’s a partnership. Nanna maatu kelodalla mukhya, nimma naayi nimma maatu kelodu mukhya (Your dog should listen to you).
