About Dog Behavior Modification & Training
Connection Over Control
I get asked all the time about controlling a dog, but honestly, you’re already the boss of most things in their life. My real aim is to help you understand your dog, not just manage them. Most “bad” behavior is just your dog trying to tell you something. I’ll help you learn what they’re saying.
What’s Different With Me?
Obedience training is about commands like sit or stay. What I do goes much deeper. We dig into why your dog acts out - their emotions, fears, or stress. It can take longer than old-school punishment, but it actually lasts and doesn’t hurt your bond.
Issues We Tackle Together
- Aggression: Barking, lunging, resource guarding, fights between dogs, sudden snapping
- Anxiety: Scared of loud noises (Diwali, Holi), nervous energy, trouble with grooming or handling
- Leash Stuff: Pulling, leash reactivity training, teaching loose-leash walking, giving them space with long leashes
- Puppy Basics: Socialization (not just dog park chaos), jumping, excessive barking, chewing, picky eating
How I Work
I’m all about force-free behavior modification. No fear, no pain, no intimidation. We look for the small signals - a yawn, lip lick, head turn. Positive reinforcement dog training, like a treat or a simple “shabash” at the right moment, works way better than yelling. If your dog doesn’t want a pat, we respect that. Their trust means everything.
Walks Should Be Fun
Mujhe samajh nahi aata (I don’t get) why walks have to be a race. Kya jaldi hai? (What’s the hurry?) The walk is for them. Let your dog sniff and explore. It’s honestly better for their mind than just marching ahead.
First Things First
If your dog suddenly acts out, get a vet check before anything else. Health comes first. If you feel stuck, I’m here to chat and see if I can help.

My Story
Hey, I'm Aishani. Gurgaon is home, with my husband and our three dogs (sometimes four, if Noddy feels up for it). Dogs are my world, literally quit my corporate job for them. Ezra’s touchy side taught me a lot about giving space and consent—sometimes he forgets, but we figure it out, no drama. Raw meat? Not my favourite, veggie life, but I manage. Every walk, every day, keeps me learning. Yoga and nature keep me sane.
My Work
Force-Free Dog Training & Behaviour Help - I work on dog aggression, anxiety, and touch-sensitive dog support using positive reinforcement.
Home Boarding for Dogs - I offer home boarding, especially for anxious dogs, so they feel safe when you're away.
How I Work - We go deep—body language, routines, feelings. No quick fixes, just patience and real change.
Who I Help - If your dog is family and you want real understanding, not just control, I’m your person.
