About Dog Obedience Training
Building trust with your dog isn’t about just teaching tricks. It’s about understanding their quirks, celebrating small progress, and making the journey rewarding for both of you. My own dog Bruce taught me that every pup’s pace is different, and that’s the heart of my approach.
How I Train
- Purely positive reinforcement dog training - no shouting, no punishment. I want your dog to feel happy, not scared.
- Sessions feel more like a treat than a chore. Think of it like getting that homemade gajar ka halwa - it’s all about positive vibes.
- Focus is on helping your dog become a confident, calm family member.
Group Classes
- We train outdoors, with two certified trainers handling each session.
- Dogs practice listening to you, even with distractions and other dogs around.
- Group dog training classes help pups stay calm, confident, and socialise the right way - no forced play.
- Nervous or reactive dogs are welcome, but biting history is a no-go for safety reasons.
Core Skills We Build
- Loose leash walking techniques, practiced step-by-step from home to busy streets.
- “Come when called” recall, even for the most distracted pups.
- Proofing essential commands (sit, down, stay, place) in real life situations.
For Anxious or Reactive Dogs
- If your dog lunges or barks, I get it. We work together to build their confidence and manage triggers, step at a time.
Patience, fun, and real progress - that’s what I aim for on this journey with you and your dog.

My Story
Hey, Gourav here from SAGA. All this started with Bruce, my own doggo - the real boss of the house. He’s why I get up every day and do this. We’ve been through it all, from Delhi to Bangalore by train (chips to mile nahi, but mom’s gajar ka halwa always wins). With Bruce, I learned every dog’s different, no matter the age. SAGA is just me trying to help others find that same bond I have with him, using only positive vibes.
My Work
All Dog Training Services - Puppy training, group classes, fun agility sessions, swimming, leash walking, toilet training, and reactive dog confidence building.
Only Positive Reinforcement - No scolding, no 'bad dog' talk. We build trust and make training a team effort with you and your dog.
Step-by-Step Approach - Start inside, move outside slowly. We set up your dog for success, not stress.
Dog Socialization Training - It’s not about meeting every dog. We teach calmness and neutrality around others.
Mental Stimulation Activities - Training isn’t just basics. We use puzzles, agility, and walks to boost confidence and keep minds sharp.
