Here is why Kiga prioritizes discipline, safety, and rational behavior over fluffy, over-pampered boarding experiences. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Seedhi baat bolta hoon, this boarding center is my life, not a side hustle.

We don't do 'random visits' because new faces create unnecessary stress for the pack. Instead, every new guest goes through a temperament assessment to ensure they actually fit our cage-free environment, which is 6000 sq ft of structured play, not just aimless running. We prioritize your dog's mental health over human convenience. ### Why We Don't Do 'Guchi-Puchi' Most boarding centers rely on fluff and photos to sell their services. At Kiga, we operate differently. We believe that over-pampering (what I call 'guchi-puchi') is often the source of a dog's anxiety. Dogs don't need human-style spoiling; they need rules, routine, and a sense of pack hierarchy. ### The Kiga Standard - **No Cages:** Our 6000 sq ft facility is entirely open. Cages are crutches for poor management. If you can't manage a pack without locking them up, you shouldn't be running a boarding center. - **Temperament Over Breed:** We don't segregate by breed. A friendly Chihuahua and a balanced Labrador can share space because their temperament matches. We assess every dog before they join to prevent aggression. - **Staff that Listens:** My team, like Mohit who has been with me for two years, is trained to follow instructions, not just 'love' dogs. In a pack environment, emotional thinking is dangerous. You need a calm, rational person who knows when to intervene and when to let the dogs work out their own dynamics. ### Why No Random Visits? I know it might sound rude to say you can't just drop in, but this is for the dogs. A stranger walking into a closed group of dogs disrupts the hierarchy and triggers reactivity. We keep our space controlled so your dog stays calm, not anxious. If you want to see the place, we plan it specifically so we don't disturb the peace of the dogs currently in our care. ## About Kiga I’m Prateek, and for 17 years, I’ve been figuring out what actually makes a dog tick. I don't run Kiga to give hugs all day—I run it because dogs need a safe, disciplined space where they can act like dogs, not like humans in costumes.
