About

I help people figure out if they're ready for a dog, and what kind of dog will fit their life. It's not about picking the fluffiest pupper, but about honest, real talk so both you and the dog are set up for a good life together. I don't sugarcoat stuff - sometimes my advice is just, "Wait," and that’s totally fine.

How We Dig In

  • I look at your routine - Are you always out and about, or more of a Netflix-and-chill type? We need a dog who will vibe with you.
  • We talk breed quirks - Like, if you think a small dog will be easy, that's a myth. Some tiny breeds are full-on dynamos.
  • We break down adoption vs. ethical breeder. I'll help you spot red flags like puppy mills, and talk through what responsible pet ownership advice really looks like.
  • Prepping your home - Kids, apartments, crazy schedules, we cover it all.

Myth Busting - No Filters

  • Indies (stray Indian breeds) aren't a shortcut; they need training and patience, just like purebreds.
  • A puppy's personality isn’t a blank slate. Genetics matter, and some behaviors are red flags.
  • Just because everyone says "adopt, don’t shop," doesn't mean adoption is always easy or right for every family.

What You Get

Honest answers. If I think it’s not the right time for you, I’ll say so. If you’re ready, Shabash! (Well done!). Either way, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting into, so you and your future dog can be happy together.

My Story

We’re Confident Dogs, and honestly, it all began with Junior, a rescue who taught us more than any book ever could. Back then, trainers just wanted to use chains and scare tactics. We said, nope, not for us. Our own Phoebe, wild and clever, proved that patience and play work wonders, even for the most fearful dogs. So here we are, still learning, still loving the chaos, raising confident dogs, not robots.

My Work

What we offer - 1:1 consults (online & Bangalore), puppy foundation, behaviour help for aggression/fear, Online dog behaviour workshops, Pre-adoption dog counselling.

Our approach - No shock or prong collars, ever. We use reward-based puppy training and positive reinforcement. It’s about your dog’s whole self.

How we work - We get to know your dog and you, set routines, maybe some crate time, lots of games. Slow and steady, always step-by-step.

Real talk - No such thing as a 'fully trained dog'. We help you build a bond, not just a list of tricks.
