My coaching is all about tuning in to what your dog actually needs, not what you wish they’d do. If you’re tired of getting random tips from people who’ve read one blog, I’m your person. I’ve spent years working with dogs of all kinds - from nervous rescues to stubborn seniors - and I know every dog is different. ### What We Work On - Reading your dog's signals: I’ll help you get the hang of understanding dog body language, so you know what’s real and what’s just drama. We separate what’s part of your dog’s nature from stuff you can actually shape. - Smart choices for your dog: Not sure about kennels vs. pet sitters? I show you how to pick what’s right. We’ll talk about how to check out places, ask the right questions, and figure out what suits your *pyaara* (adorable) dog’s vibe. - Handling tricky stuff: If your dog’s got anxiety or some tough habits, we work through it with patience, not punishment. You’ll learn to build trust with your dog and deal with their quirks. - Creating a stable home: Routines, boundaries, and predictability - these aren’t boring, they’re what help your dog chill out and feel safe. Trust is at the core of my coaching. Consistency is the main thing, and yeah, it takes effort. But seeing your dog relaxed and happy at home? That’s what I’m here for. ## Highlights Browse through Poulomi Dhar's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/poulomi_dhar/dog-owner-coaching/featured) - ![A picture is worth a thousand words.

Dogs, cats, chaos – that’s our daily jam. Started this wild ride in 2015 after Phoebe (my first dog) taught me how much heart these furballs bring. My Rottie Simba was a weird cuddle monster, taught me about trust and fear. Fostering, losing, loving – it’s all part of our pack life. You’ll find us knee-deep in fur, laughter, and sometimes puppies born with just YouTube help. New family, more love, and always, more dogs. ### My work - **All-Inclusive Pet Services**: We do overnight boarding, cage-free dog daycare, puppy socialization playgroup, dog training, and coaching for pet parents. - **Open, Homestyle Boarding**: No cages here. Dogs roam, play, and mingle all day. Perfect for the social ones, not for shy pups. - **Trial Stays Required**: Every dog does a trial dog stay first. It’s a must, helps everyone settle in and keeps things safe. - **Total Transparency**: Be honest about your dog's quirks. We keep you posted with updates and stick to clear protocols. ## More services from Poulomi Dhar - [Dog Training & Behavior Consultation](https://mytribe.in/poulomi_dhar/dog-training-behavior-consultation) · ₹1,200-5,000 per session (estimate) - [Dog Boarding & Daycare](https://mytribe.in/poulomi_dhar/dog-boarding-daycare) · ₹600-850 per dog per day (estimate) ## Experts similar to Poulomi Dhar on mytribe - [Dog Training & Behavior Modification by The Urban Dawg](https://mytribe.in/theurbandawg/dog-training-behavior-modification) · ₹1,200-3,000 per session (estimate) · The Urban Dawg - Companion Canine Services - [Dog Training & Behavior Consultation by Furry Story](https://mytribe.in/furrystoryofficial/dog-training-behavior-consultation) · ₹800-2,000 per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Pre-Adoption Counseling by Confident Dogs](https://mytribe.in/confidentdogs/pre-adoption-counseling) · ₹2,450-3,450 per session (estimate) · Bengaluru ## Book To book Poulomi Dhar, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Dog%20Owner%20Coaching%20by%20Poulomi%20Dhar.)
