Specialized Dog Behaviour Masterclasses
From managing Diwali anxiety to understanding Indie behaviour, these interactive online sessions are designed to help you decode your dog's needs and build a stronger, more trusting relationship.
Diwali can be a very stressful time for dogs. My "Stress-free Diwali" class gives you actionable tips and includes 14 days of WhatsApp support to help your dog stay calm amidst the noise and festivities.
This is one of my favorite techniques for Diwali: the calming wrap. Watch how I use a simple scarf to apply gentle pressure, which can significantly comfort a dog scared of firecrackers.
Decompression activities are crucial for helping a stressed dog. This is one of the key topics I cover in my Diwali workshop to help your dog cope with the festive season.
Reading your dog's stress signals is the first step to helping them. In my Diwali prep class, I teach you how to spot the subtle signs of fear so you can intervene before they become overwhelmed.
Getting your dog ready for Diwali starts weeks in advance. My workshop focuses on proactive preparation to make the experience as smooth as possible for your furry friend.
Working on potential triggers before they become a problem is key. My Diwali class helps you identify and manage things that might scare your dog during the festival.
Post-session support is a big part of my workshops. For the Diwali class, you get exclusive access to a WhatsApp group for 14 days to ask questions and get feedback as you practice the techniques.
My "Know Indies Better" class is dedicated to our amazing community dogs. We discuss their unique traits and behaviors, and 100% of the profits are donated to NGOs working for Indies.
Indies can be prone to stress, especially after being rescued. This masterclass focuses specifically on managing stress in Indies to help them adjust and thrive in a home environment.
This poster for my "Managing Stress in Indies" class highlights the importance of understanding the unique challenges our street dogs face. All proceeds go towards supporting their welfare.
About Specialized Masterclasses
These sessions are live and interactive, so we don't just talk theory. Whether we are decoding why your Indie is reacting on walks or preparing your home for the noise of Diwali, we work through your specific, real-world struggles. You will leave with clear, actionable steps that you can start using with your dog the very same day.
Why these masterclasses?
I designed these sessions because I know how isolating it can feel when your dog is struggling. You don't need another generic manual. You need a space where you can ask questions, get honest feedback, and understand exactly why your dog is behaving a certain way.
What to expect
Each masterclass is a deep dive into a specific topic. We move beyond basic 'sit' and 'stay' commands to look at the 'why' behind the behaviour. You can expect:
- Live Interaction: These are not pre-recorded, boring lectures. You can ask me questions directly.
- Real-world Context: I use case studies, video analysis, and current events—like festival safety or legal rights in housing societies—to make the training relevant to your life in India.
- Support Beyond the Call: For our intensive workshops, I provide 14 days of WhatsApp support. You can upload clips of your training sessions, and I will help you correct your technique so you aren't left figuring it out alone.
My focus areas
My approach is firmly rooted in positive reinforcement and understanding canine body language. I cover:
- Stress & Anxiety Management: Helping dogs cope with firecrackers, separation anxiety, or stressful environments.
- Breed-Specific Guidance: Tailored advice for Indie dogs, Labradors, and Cocker Spaniels.
- Health & Rights: Working with vets to explain medical decisions like neutering and knowing your legal rights as a pet parent in Indian housing societies.
Let’s stop the guesswork and start building a better bond, one session at a time.
