Certified Dog Behaviourist Training in Bangalore
I didn't start as a dog person, which is why I understand the fear and confusion that can come with pet parenting. Here is a look at my professional training and the journey that led me to help you and your dog.

Learning from pioneers in the field is a privilege. Here I am with my mentor, Shirin Merchant, and one of the resident dogs during my certification course. My education is grounded in understanding canine behavior deeply, not just giving commands.

About this collection
My certification as a canine trainer is more than just a credential; it is a promise that I rely on science-backed, force-free methods to help you and your dog. Whether you are struggling with a puppy's house habits or an adult dog's reactivity, we look at your specific daily routine and environment to create a plan that works for your unique situation, not a standard rulebook.
My path to becoming a certified canine trainer was paved with genuine curiosity and hours of hands-on experience with dogs of all temperaments. I trained under established experts to ensure that every recommendation I make is grounded in behavioral science. This means I never use intimidation or force; we use positive reinforcement to build trust rather than compliance.
When we work together in Bangalore, we start with a 75-minute assessment at your home or a neutral outdoor space. I observe your daily routine, your dog's environment, and the specific stressors they face. My goal is to teach you how to read your dog's 'dog-speak' so you understand why they react the way they do.
If you are based outside Bangalore, my virtual consults are just as practical. I analyze video footage of your dog's behavior before we jump on a call, so our time is spent on coaching and fixing your mechanics. You receive a detailed action plan, enrichment guides for DIY mental stimulation, and follow-up support. We are not just training your dog; we are building a long-term bond based on mutual understanding.
