Nationally Recognized Dog Behavior Expert in Bangalore
Expertise isn't about accolades, but I share these media features and awards to show the rigorous, science-based approach I bring to every training session. These experiences—from police K9 consultancy to national broadcast analysis—form the foundation of how I teach you to understand your dog.
On this News 9 panel, I discuss the scientific method for managing stray dog populations, focusing on pack leaders. This is the level of strategic thinking you will learn in my course.

About this collection
While national awards are meaningful, they are not the reason I do this. Whether I am on a news panel discussing pack dynamics or working with a forest tracker squad, my goal remains the same: to stop people from seeing dogs as simple pets and start seeing them as sentient beings. My approach is rooted in science, not tradition.
People often ask why a PhD or a BBC documentary matters when they just want their dog to sit or stay. The answer is simple: methodology. Whether I am working with the Karnataka Forest Department tracker squads or discussing stray dog pack dynamics on national television, every experience has taught me that the root of the problem is rarely the dog. It is almost always a misunderstanding of their psychology.
When I received the Aryabhatta International Award, it was not just for training. It was for researching Shwana Manovaitajnya (Dog Psychology). This means that when you join my school, you are not learning outdated tricks. You are learning the same science I use to train police K9s and protect wildlife.
Why my background matters for your pet
- It is about communication: You will learn to speak a language your dog understands.
- It is evidence-based: There is no guesswork. We use proven behavioral science to address aggression, fear, and anxiety.
- It is structured: Just like a police dog needs tactical obedience, your pet needs a clear, disciplined routine to be happy.
If you are looking for someone to 'fix' your dog without you putting in the effort, my school is not the place. However, if you are ready to learn, understand your dog’s maryade (respect), and commit to being a partner in their development, let us talk.
Dog Guru
I am Dr. Amrut, but my real teachers are the 1,500 dogs that have walked through my school. I do not believe in magic training tricks, only psychology and a deep respect for an animal's nature. My experience with K9 police squads and research is simply a tool to help you understand your own dog.
