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. ## About Shivani Kuthe Hi, I'm Shivani.
