About Dog Behavior & Training
My approach to dog behavior isn't about "fixing" problems, but about understanding what your dog is really trying to tell you. I used to get frustrated with my own dogs, but things changed once I got curious about why they acted out, not just how to stop it.
What I Don’t Do
You won’t see me using punishment, leash jerks, scary tools, or yelling. Those things just break trust and make things worse. Instead, I focus on what actually helps dogs learn and feel safe.
How I Work
- Everything I do is based on kindness and science
- I use positive reinforcement dog training - rewarding the good stuff so your dog actually wants to learn
- Your dog gets choices, not just orders
- I help you see problems coming and set things up so your dog succeeds
Who I Help
For puppy parents: We go beyond sit and stay. I focus on confidence, gentle handling of puppy biting, and positive introductions to new stuff.
Common challenges? I help with leash reactivity solutions, barking (at the door, on walks, for attention), jumping up, and separation anxiety training.
Senior dogs need different things, like pain checks and gentle enrichment. I help spot subtle changes and keep them comfy.
What We Use
It's all about fun, safe tools—games, snuffle mats, comfy harnesses, long leashes. No fear, no force. Just setting you and your dog up for a calmer, happier life together.
If you want a better bond with your dog, I’m here for you. Let's help your dog feel understood, not just "trained."

My Story
Hey, I'm Kirti. Used to freak out every time Candy or Russel peed indoors or pulled like mad on walks. Felt like a flop pet parent, honestly. Then it clicked—dogs don’t do 'good' or 'bad', they just do what feels right to them. Candy’s hip pain taught me to look for the 'why', not just blame. Now I try to be the person my dogs needed—patient, curious, safe. That’s what I bring to every dog and human I meet.
