My Muse and My Mission: How Mishti Built TailSpin
TailSpin started with a leap and a wag. My Indie girl, Mishti, changed everything for me, shifting my path from HR to dog training. This collection is a look at the force-free, reward-based philosophy that grew from our bond.
I wasn't always a dog trainer. After 8 years in HR, I followed my passion and changed careers. I have absolutely no regrets and am grateful every day that I get to help people build better relationships with their dogs.
Looking for a trainer who covers it all? From reward-based obedience and breed-specific exercises to solving separation issues and offering online training, my goal is to provide a complete, modern training solution.
I offer specialized workshops to tackle common but complex issues. This graphic is from my workshop focused on solving separation problems, where I provide a structured, long-term plan to help dogs feel safe when left alone.

It's important to keep our dogs safe during festivals. Loud noises and toxic colors at Holi parties can be very stressful for them, so the kindest thing to do is leave them at home in a calm, stress-free environment.
My four simple steps for setting your dog up for success are to praise them for listening, reward them generously, manage their environment, and always set them up to succeed. This is the core of my training philosophy.
About My Muse & My Mission
I left a stable HR career to become a dog trainer, and I have zero regrets. When I brought my Indie girl, Mishti, home, she was not just a pet; she became my teacher. I realized that the best training is not about control or dominance. It is about patience, consistency, and building a relationship where your dog chooses to engage with you. That "nimmaammam nee thinnu, nanna mamman naa thintini" (you eat your food, I eat mine) level of understanding is exactly what I aim to help you achieve with your own dog.
From HR to Dog Trainer
Before TailSpin, I spent eight years in HR. It provided a steady paycheck, but it never felt like a calling. Adopting Mishti was the turning point. She showed me that when you stop trying to force obedience, you start to see real behavior change. That is why I founded TailSpin—to help pet parents in Bangalore move away from old-school, harsh methods and embrace a kinder way to communicate.
Why Force-Free Works
My training philosophy is simple: we do not use intimidation. Whether you are struggling with a puppy that bites, a teenager dog that ignores you, or a reactive dog that stresses you out on walks, I focus on reward-based methods. We work on impulse control, calmness, and clear communication. The goal is to build a foundation where your dog trusts your guidance, even when the environment is loud or distracting.
Your Role in the Process
I am not just training your dog; I am coaching you. You become the guide your dog needs. We look at everything—daily routines, your dog's triggers, and even how you react in high-stress moments. My approach is tailored to your dog’s pace because I believe that when you give them the right tools and set them up for success, they will always choose to do the right thing. 🧡
