## About Dog Training

### Why I Train Dogs

Dogs are my whole world, especially my German Shepherd Theo - he’s a total rowdy boi and a real character. That bond we share? That’s what I want you to have with your dog, too. It’s not just about following commands, it’s about trust, understanding, and pure joy (and, ok, some madness in between).

### How I Train (No Nonsense)

I keep it science-backed and force-free. No punishment, no scary tools, no yanking - just positive reinforcement dog training. That means lots of rewards, not just kibble, but proper high-value stuff (chicken, cheese, you name it). I always say, 90% of the magic is you showing up and putting in the effort. If you want a quick fix or believe in harsh methods, honestly, I’m not your person.

### What I Can Help With

- Puppy chaos? I’ll walk you through puppy biting solutions, house-proofing, and the basics to set you up for success.
- Got a dog with “big feelings”? I get it - my own Theo is reactive. We tackle reactivity, anxiety, and help build confidence, not just squash the behavior.
- Everyday manners: leash pulling, ignoring, you get the drift. Training has to be fun and practical.
- German Shepherd training tips - I’ve got a soft spot for GSDs.
- Group dog socialization sessions in parks like Cubbon, focused on calm and neutral behavior, not just wild play.

### What Sessions Feel Like

Short and sweet (10-15 min bursts), loads of fun, and always tailored to your dog’s needs. I’ll teach you to read their body language so you’re not just a pet parent, but their best teammate.

Your dog’s happiness is totally in your hands – and that’s honestly the best part.

## Meet your expert

[Pranati](https://mytribe.in/theo_n_me)

### My story

Hey, I’m Pranati. Theo, my wild boi, crashed into my life in 2020. I always wanted a dog, kept bugging Santa, but parents said nope. Now I get it! Theo’s my heart—his goofy naps, his zoomies, everything. Not gonna lie, sometimes I mess up, get busy, feel guilty. Watching him age, I just wanna make his world bigger. He’s my best gift, my everyday blessing. Pure love, pure chaos.

### My work

- **Modern, Affordable Dog Training**: I do force-free dog training—one-on-one consults, puppy sessions, behavioral fixes, socialization help.
- **Positive Reinforcement Methods**: No punishments, no scary tools. Training should be fun for your dog, not stressful.
- **Dog-Owner Teamwork**: You gotta put in the work! I guide, but you need to be active and consistent.
- **Understanding Your Dog**: I’ll break down dog instincts and body language so you get the 'why' behind their actions.
- **Support Beyond Sessions**: I don’t vanish after training. Ask questions, get support—real life is where it matters.
