Dog Enrichment and Training Services
A glimpse into my life with Vanilla and Coco, and how I help dogs find their spark through enrichment, brain games, and confidence-building.
This is what a focused, happy dog looks like. We've been working on this Dog Sudoku puzzle, and watching Vanilla finally solve it was a proud moment. Puzzle solving is a fantastic way to engage your dog's brain, reduce boredom, and build their problem solving skills.
Did you know that letting your dog shred is actually a healthy and natural behavior? I encourage it with safe items like coconut husks. This activity satisfies their instinctual prey drive and is a wonderful way to relieve stress and boredom.
This is Chubbs, who was struggling with reactivity and being snappy. We started working on focus exercises and simple agility, which helps build confidence and provides an outlet for his energy. Enrichment is a powerful tool for modifying behavior and strengthening your bond.
Welcome to my puzzle library. I believe every dog should have access to a variety of brain games without their parents having to buy dozens of expensive toys. This library allows you to rent different puzzles to keep your dog challenged and engaged.
Enrichment doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. Here, I've hidden some kibble inside empty pea pods for a fun foraging game. Using everyday items is one of my favorite ways to provide mental stimulation.
Walking on unstable surfaces, like these stacked logs at a construction site, is an amazing confidence builder for dogs. This simple exercise improves their balance and coordination, teaching them to be more aware of their body and less fearful of new environments.
Festivities are for the whole family, including our dogs. We prepared a special, dog-safe festive meal on a banana leaf. Introducing a variety of safe tastes and textures is a form of sensory enrichment that dogs absolutely love.
About this collection
These photos capture the essence of what I do: showing you that enrichment isn't just about buying expensive toys. It is about understanding what makes your dog tick, whether that means solving a complex puzzle, building confidence on a wobbly surface, or learning how to forage. My goal is to help you see the world through your dog's eyes so you can build a deeper, more trusting bond.
More Than Just Training
My philosophy is simple: 'train, don't complain.' Whether you have a puppy, a high-energy dog, or a pet struggling with reactivity, my approach remains the same—positive reinforcement and mental stimulation.
What You Will Find In My Services
- The Puzzle Library: I run India's first dedicated puzzle library in Bengaluru. It is a practical way to keep your dog challenged without cluttering your home with toys they might solve in a day.
- Behaviour & Enrichment: If your dog is dealing with aggression, fear, or just plain boredom, we start by looking at the root cause. We incorporate agility work, scent games, and lifestyle changes to manage stress.
- Adventure Prep: I believe dogs belong in our lives, not just at home. I coach owners on how to safely take their pets on hikes, road trips, and outdoor adventures, ensuring both of you are ready for the journey.
Why Start Now?
Enrichment is often the missing piece in a dog's life. When a dog has a job to do—even if that job is sniffing out kibble from a pea pod or sliding a tile on a puzzle—their anxiety levels drop, and their focus improves. My sessions are designed to be hands-on for you as well. I don't just 'fix' the dog; I teach you how to read your dog’s signals, manage their stress, and turn daily routines into bonding opportunities. If you are in Bengaluru and ready to try a different approach, let's connect.
