In the News and Community Events for Dogs
We believe dogs deserve the spotlight. From starring in Kannada cinema to performing at community events, our dogs are trained to shine beyond the obedience ring.
An article from the Times of India detailing how our Labrador, Simba, dubbed his own barks and murmurs for the movie 'Naanu Matthu Gunda 2'. This level of authenticity is what we strive for.

About this collection
When Simba, our Labrador, stepped up to dub for his own role in 'Naanu Matthu Gunda 2', it was not just a trick. It was about capture-ready focus. Training for media or a live crowd at an event like Happy Streets involves more than just sitting and staying. It is about helping your dog remain calm, engaged, and responsive when the lights get bright and the environment gets loud.
Success in front of a camera or a public audience relies on the foundation of trust we build every day at K9 Gurukul. When you see our dogs featured in The Times of India or performing at Malleshwaram, you are seeing the result of consistent, positive reinforcement training.
The Media Difference
Working on a film set or for a commercial is high-pressure. We do not just teach a dog to perform an action; we desensitize them to boom mics, reflectors, and crowded sets. Our media training focuses on:
- Distance Control: Executing commands from 20 feet away using silent hand signals.
- Mark Training: Hitting a specific spot on a set without constant guidance.
- Impulse Control: Staying focused on the scene even when there are distractions like food or toys nearby.
Community Presence
We believe in taking our training out of the studio and into the real world. Participating in events like Happy Streets allows us to showcase that a well-trained dog is a social, happy dog. Demonstrating obedience in public spaces helps normalize the presence of trained pets, encouraging a more dog-friendly Bengaluru.
Whether you want your dog to be a star or just a confident companion in the park, the principles are the same. We prioritize patience and reward-based methods to ensure your dog enjoys the process. This is the K9 Gurukul way: we treat every dog as a member of our family, and that care shows in everything we do, whether on the big screen or the neighborhood street.
K9 Gurukul
We are a team, a family, and above all, dog lovers. Whether we are preparing a pup for a movie set or helping them shine at a public event, our focus stays on the bond you share with your dog. We do not just train, we understand.
