The Urban Dawg

About

I think of myself as a 'Kahu' – a guardian, not an owner. Dawgs aren't just pets here, they're family, and I let them be themselves. I don't do strict rules or intimidation. My style? Let the dog choose, whether it's food, a walk, or just chilling. It's all about trust and love.

How I Work With Dawgs

• Training happens naturally, in a chill space, where dogs can learn from each other. I let my grown-up dogs mentor the little ones, showing them how to greet, set boundaries, and just be part of the gang.
• I stick to positive reinforcement dog training – good behaviour gets tasty treats like shin or sardine bits. Every win is a happy moment.
• Walks are a big deal here. I use long leash walking, so the dogs get to sniff, explore, and catch up on all the 'news' outside. A good sniffari is pure joy for them.
• When stress hits (like after a thunderstorm), I don't just tell them to stop. I redirect with canine enrichment activities – treat hunts, chew sessions, or games to help them settle down.

Who I Help

• Puppy socialization program for little ones who missed out on litter time.
• Gentle support and stress relief for rescue dogs, especially those with tough pasts.
• Help for energetic dogs to channel their zoomies in a healthy way.
• I also guide pet parents, teaching you to read your dog's cues and handle long leashes with confidence.

Our Space

Located in the Bangalore suburbs, it's a real home, cage-free, with a mixed pack. Dawgs get indoor comfort and outdoor village trails for walks. It's a space for real connection, exploration, and just being a happy dog.
