About Dog Travel & Adventure Coaching
Why I Do This
Traveling with my dogs, Vanilla and Coco, changed my idea of adventure. I used to stress about every small thing, but now, I see travel as a way to build real trust with my dogs, not just tick off places on a map. If you feel anxious about taking your dog along, I get it - been there, done that.
What You’ll Learn With Me
- How to actually plan a dog-friendly road trip, from short drives to months-long journeys (yup, we've done Kanyakumari to Kashmir in my car).
- Tips for navigating Indian roads, weird terrains, and finding places that won’t turn you and your pupper away at the door.
- Making your dog comfortable with all kinds of transport - cars, trains, even autos!
- How to get your dog ready for water sports (rafting, swimming), mountain hikes, or even just chilling at a dhaba.
My Approach
I don’t rush dogs into new things. I made that mistake once - never again. So, we’ll focus on:
- Building your dog’s confidence slowly (patience is key, boss).
- Conditioning dogs for outdoor activities without any drama.
- Using the right gear without making your dog hate it.
Who’s This For?
If you want your dog to be more than just a homebody and you’re tired of the “but how will I manage?” questions, this is for you. I’ll show you practical, real-world ways to turn travel stress into memories – for both of you.

My Story
People call us crazy, we call it living. Two women, one senior citizen, two dogs, road tripping across half the country—adventure, not madness. My dogs Vanilla and Coco, they're my heart. Coco’s bad experience with a trainer taught me patience is everything. Training isn’t force, it’s family. We’ve rafted the Ganges, paraglided in Bir, even celebrated Kukur Tihar in Nepal. Dogs belong in your life, not just your house. Let’s make your own wild stories together.
My Work
Dog training & behaviour consults - I help with adventure dog training, puppy socialisation, and behaviour issues like aggression or fear.
Positive reinforcement always - No force, no fear—just reward-based, trust-building training so you and your dog understand each other.
Trauma recovery for dogs - Certified in handling aggression and trauma. I find the root, not just cover up problems.
Dog enrichment puzzles - I run a puzzle library and give simple enrichment ideas—shredding coconuts, solving games, keeping dogs happy.
Adventure prep for dogs - Want to travel, hike, or raft with your dog? I’ll guide you so your dog’s ready for any adventure.
