About Dog Training & Behavior
I want every dog to be truly understood, not punished for being themselves. Too many times, I've seen folks struggle with old-school advice that just doesn't work. My focus is on helping you become the person your dog needs, so you both enjoy life together.
How I Work With You
- I coach you, not just your dog. My job is to help you read your dog’s body language, spot calming signals, and use positive reinforcement dog training.
- No force, no fear. We use treats, praise, and play to build trust.
- Meeting your dog’s needs matters: walks, sniffing breaks, puzzle games, and rest are all important.
What I Help With
- New puppies: Toilet training, avoiding common puppy socialization mistakes, and starting good routines.
- Everyday obedience for dogs: Loose-leash walking (yes, sniffing is allowed!), life-saving cues like “Leave It” and “Drop”, and handling real-life stuff like elevators or cafes.
- Managing dog reactivity: From barking at other dogs to chewing the sofa, we’ll get to the root, not just hush the noise.
- Big changes like bringing home a baby: I specialise in dog and baby safety tips. Preparing your dog, managing first meetings, and keeping everyone safe.
Where I Work
I offer online coaching for anyone, anywhere, and in-person help if you're in Bangalore. I’ll meet you where you are—literally and figuratively.
No magic fixes here, but I promise real support that fits your life.

My Story
Hey, I’m Nitika. Certified dog trainer, dog mom, human mom, and honestly, just trying to keep it together most days. My golden retriever Grey taught me more about love and patience than anyone else. Kids and dogs together? It’s messy, hard, sometimes I just want to scream. But those walks in the rain, leash tangled, remind me why I do it. If you’re overwhelmed, trust me, I get it.
My Work

Understanding Your Dog - I show you how to read dog stress signals, build trust, and actually get why your dog acts the way they do.
Dog Training Myth Buster - Forget what you read online. I’ll tell you what really works and what’s just plain wrong for your dog.
