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. ## Highlights Browse through Pranati's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/theo_n_me/dog-training/featured) - ![This is the goal.

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. ## Experts similar to Pranati on mytribe - [Obedience and Behavior Training by Spartan K9 Training](https://mytribe.in/spartan_k9training/obedience-and-behavior-training) · ₹1,000-2,500 per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Dog Training & Behavior Consultation by Garima Tomar](https://mytribe.in/garimatomar/dog-training-behavior-consultation) · ₹800-2,500 per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Dog Training & Behavior Consultation by Furry Story](https://mytribe.in/furrystoryofficial/dog-training-behavior-consultation) · ₹800-2,000 per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Dog Training & Behavior Consultation by Madhavi Nadig](https://mytribe.in/m_nadig/dog-training-behavior-consultation) · ₹1,200-2,500 per session (estimate) · Nadig K9 - Consultants for Dog Training & Behaviour - [Dog Training & Behavior Modification by Deepthi](https://mytribe.in/happypuppersblr/dog-training-behavior-modification) · ₹500-3,500 per session (estimate) · Happy Puppers Canine Training And Enrichment Center - [Dog Behavior Consultation & Training by Shivani Kuthe](https://mytribe.in/kuthe_shivani/dog-behavior-consultation-training) · ₹1,000-2,000 per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Dog Socialization & Confidence Building by Canine Coach Disha](https://mytribe.in/caninecoachdisha/dog-socialization-confidence-building) · ₹1,200-3,000 per session (estimate) · Indiranagar - [Dog Training & Behavior by Nitika Ahlawat](https://mytribe.in/thegoldengrey/dog-training-behavior) · ₹1,000-3,500 per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Dog Training & Behavior Management by Second Home](https://mytribe.in/second_home_dog_boarding/dog-training-behavior-management) · ₹1,200-3,500 per session (estimate) · Second Home Dog Boarding - [Dog Training & Behavior Modification by The Urban Dawg](https://mytribe.in/theurbandawg/dog-training-behavior-modification) · ₹800-3,000 per session (estimate) · The Urban Dawg - Companion Canine Services - [Dog Obedience & Behavior Training by Umesh Kumar](https://mytribe.in/umesh_kumar.s/dog-obedience-behavior-training) · ₹800-2,000 per session (estimate) · Bengaluru ## Book To book Pranati, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Dog%20Training%20by%20Pranati.)
