About Pet Sitter & Home Boarder Training
Just loving dogs isn’t enough to care for them professionally, and I see that every day. I started this workshop because too many pets come back from boarders feeling anxious or unwell - I want to change that, one sitter at a time.
Who This Is For
- If you’re thinking about starting a career in pet care but don’t know where to begin, or already boarding dogs and want to get better, this is for you.
- Even if you’re just a curious pet parent, you’ll get a real look at what goes into high-quality dog care.
What You’ll Actually Learn
- How to read dog body language so you know what they’re really feeling (no guessing, only proper dog body language training).
- Tips for safe multi-dog management, daily routines, and what to do when things don’t go as planned.
- Hands-on basics: leash walking, safe feeding, basic grooming, giving meds.
- How to keep pet parents happy and build trust.
- Stuff you won’t find in “just love dogs” advice.
How It Works
- Online workshop is open to anyone, anywhere. You get all the learning and a community vibe too.
- For folks in Bangalore, we have an in-person option with hands-on learning - honestly, this is where you get the most practice.
If you’re serious about turning your passion for dogs into a skill (and maybe a business), I’m here to help. It’s not always easy, but it’s worth it.

My Story
Hey, Twisha here - I’m the human behind Furry Story, and also behind Mia and Bagheera (my two furry teachers). Bagheera’s my goofy, patient boy, and Mia, who we adopted as an adult, flipped our world in the best way. Moving from Mumbai to Bangalore was messy, not gonna lie. The city felt strange, but training more dogs helped me find my feet. Every day’s a bit chaotic, but with my dogs around, I’m grateful I get to do this work.
My Work
Services Offered - I do relationship-based canine training, puppy obedience, and premium home boarding for up to two dogs.
Training the Whole Family - I teach you to read your dog's cues, not just train the dog. It’s a team effort.
No Quick Fixes - Change is slow. I’ll ask you to be patient, forget social media shortcuts, and trust the process.
Let Dogs Be Dogs - Sniffy walks for dogs, shreddable boxes, chewing - I show you how to give healthy outlets for dog instincts.
Home Boarding - I keep it small - max two dogs. Trial stay first so your dog feels safe and comfy, just like home.
Teaching Calmness - Dogs learn to chill and be calm, not just do tricks. It’s about fitting into daily life, not fancy stuff.
