## About Dog Behavior & Training

### My Style: Seedhi Baat, No Bakwaas

I've spent over 10 years working with all sorts of dogs, from beagles to mastiffs. If you ask me, your dog's behavior usually starts with you. Aggression, anxiety, leash pulling - most of it is a mirror of your own vibe and habits. Main textbook ki baatein nahi karta (I don’t go by the book), everything I do is from real, hands-on experience with thousands of dogs.

### Kutta Hai, Kutta Samjho

Before any talk of “sit” and “stay,” I focus on the basics:
- Exercise is non-negotiable. Every dog, especially high-energy breeds, needs real, daily movement. Not just a chota sa (tiny) walk.
- Socialization is must. Dogs need to mix with other dogs in safe spaces. That’s how they learn what’s what.
- Mental stimulation: Sniffing, exploring, solving small puzzles - this keeps their mind sharp and happy.

### What I Actually Help With

- Aggressive dog management: I work a lot with tough breeds like pitbulls, helping owners spot triggers and avoid fights before they start.
- Dog anxiety solutions: From separation stress to noise phobia, we build confidence for both you and your dog.
- Leash pulling correction: I teach you hands-on, simple leash skills so walks aren’t a daily tug-of-war.
- Puppy socialization classes: Early training for puppies, so you don’t have to fix big problems later.
- All those naughty habits - jumping, guarding, non-stop barking - we tackle them head-on.

### Real Talk

I won’t promise magic. Some behavioral quirks are just part of who your dog is. It’s about understanding, not just controlling. My goal? Kutta khush, owner khush (happy dog, happy owner), both leading each other with respect, not just emotion.

## Meet your expert

### My story

Hi, Prateek here. Seventeen years with dogs, started with Indie Buttery – smart, moody, boss lady. Now it's Doobie, full drama, stops mid-walk, anxiety ka source! Beagles, yaar, stubborn as hell. I’ve picked up more poop than I care to count. My place, KIGA, is all about letting dogs be dogs – no cages, thodi masti, thodi fight, sab normal hai. Over-protective parenting? Nah, dogs need space to learn.

### My work

- **Dog Boarding & Training**: Cage-free dog boarding, temperature-controlled rooms, puppy kindergarten classes, behavior modification, and breed-specific advice.
- **Real Training Philosophy**: Training isn’t just treats. I look at breed traits, your vibes, and offer practical, not magical, solutions.
- **Dogs Need To Be Dogs**: Here, dogs socialize, play, even fight a bit—like kids in school. No cages, just cameras for safety.
- **Choose Your Breed Wisely**: Don’t buy a puppy just because it’s cute. Not every breed fits every lifestyle. Think before choosing.
