Typically ₹1,200-1,800 Per Session (estimate) #### Core Training Focus * **Drive Activation:** Building 'Food Drive' from scratch or 'Prey Drive' using tugs and balls to create high-level motivation. * **Engagement & Focus:** Teaching the dog to choose the handler over environmental distractions. * **Marker Training:** Introduction to verbal markers ('Yes', 'Good', 'Free') or clicker training for precise communication. #### Technical Skills & Tools * **Luring Mechanics:** Teaching the dog to follow hand movements fluidly for future heeling positioning. * **Touchpad/Platform Work:** Introduction to rear-end awareness using small platforms to teach body positioning. * **Play Structure:** Teaching the 'Out' command (drop the toy) and proper biting mechanics on tug toys. #### Session Logistics * **Duration:** 45 to 60 minutes per session. * **Location Flexibility:** Conducted at client's home (living room/balcony) or a nearby quiet park. * **Consultation:** Assessment of the dog's natural temperament to determine suitability for specific sports (IGP, Agility, etc.). ### Advanced Competitive Sports Training (IGP/PSA) Technical coaching for tracking, precision heeling, and protection work using specialized bite gear at dedicated training fields. Typically ₹2,200-3,000 Per Session (estimate) #### Advanced Discipline Training * **Competition Heeling:** Teaching the 'Fuss' (Heel) with intense eye contact and precision. * **IGP/PSA Components:** Specific coaching on the three phases: Tracking (nose work), Obedience (precision commands), and Protection (controlled biting and guarding). * **Freestyle Elements:** 'Middle' positions, leg weaves, and complex movement combinations. #### Equipment & Environment * **Specialized Gear Usage:** Utilization of bite sleeves, wedges, tracking lines, and dumbbells provided during the session. * **Agility Foundations:** Cone work and jump techniques to improve athletic performance. * **Controlled Stressors:** Desensitizing the dog to trial-specific visual and audio stressors. #### Handler Coaching * **Handler Mechanics:** Coaching the owner on body language, leash handling, and timing specific to sport standards. * **Field Access:** Sessions conducted at dedicated training grounds to allow for off-leash distance work. * **Certification Prep:** Preparing the dog specifically for trial standards (BH, IGP1, PDC). ## About Competitive Dog Sports Training I live and breathe dogs, and nothing makes me happier than helping handlers and their dogs unlock that next level together. For me, competitive sports aren’t just about showing off - it's about building a working partnership that feels almost telepathic. The real win? Watching a dog discover their purpose and joy in the work. ### What This Training Is (and Isn’t) - Not your usual "sit, stay" stuff. Competitive training means serious commitment and a lot of sweat, but the connection you build is next level. - Perfect if you want to work hard, learn together, and see what you and your dog are truly capable of. ### What We Work On - IGP (Schutzhund tracking drills, obedience, protection) - my main thing, and where I’ve trained under a World Champ. - Advanced dog agility coaching - from basics to fancy freestyle routines for dogs who love to move. - Protection dog obedience techniques for sports like PSA and PDC. ### How I Train - Every dog is different - some need to *thinsi nodona* (let’s see if it eats), others go wild for a ball. I help build food drive or harness play drive, whatever motivates your dog. - Precision matters. We’ll work on sharp heelwork, body awareness, and those small details that make all the difference in competition. - I’ve trained everything from Malinois to Beagles to Goldens. It's about your dog’s heart and drive, not just their breed. If you’re ready for handler-dog teamwork development and want to get into real sport, let’s get started. ## Highlights Browse through Umesh Kumar's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/umesh_kumar.s/competitive-dog-sports-training/featured) - [Video: This is what peak partnership looks like.

Honestly, if you ask me, dogs are my whole world. If there’s no dogs in heaven, then I’ll go wherever they went, simple as that. Found comfort in their paws when I needed it most. I keep learning every day, trained under a world champ too – not for the paper, but for the wisdom. It’s all about understanding dogs better, making that bond real. ### My work - **Dog Training & Counselling**: I do pre-puppy counselling, advanced obedience training, and IGP dog sports training. - **Bonding Through Play**: My style is play-based dog bonding and sensible methods, not just commands and drills. - **Building Drives**: We work on building food drive in dogs, fetch, play – sometimes just start with Thinsi nodona (let’s see if it eats). - **Up-to-date Techniques**: I keep sharpening my skills, bringing fresh methods learned from world champions. ## More services from Umesh Kumar - [Dog Obedience & Behavior Training](https://mytribe.in/umesh_kumar.s/dog-obedience-behavior-training) · ₹800-2,000 per session (estimate) ## Experts similar to Umesh Kumar on mytribe - [Protection Sports & Working Dog Training by Spartan K9 Training](https://mytribe.in/spartan_k9training/protection-sports-working-dog-training) · ₹2,000-8,000 per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Dog Obedience & Behavior Training by Jk](https://mytribe.in/dog_trainer_jk/dog-obedience-behavior-training) · ₹600-1,200 per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Advanced & Specialized Dog Training by Ranjith R1](https://mytribe.in/ranjith_r1_dog_trining_school/advanced-specialized-dog-training) · ₹15-40K per dog per 4-week program (estimate) · Karnataka - [Dog Training & Behavior Consultation by Furry Story](https://mytribe.in/furrystoryofficial/dog-training-behavior-consultation) · ₹800-2,000 per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Dog Training by Paras Tomar](https://mytribe.in/offleash_india/dog-training) · ₹1,200-2,500 per session (estimate) · Offleash India Pet Resort 🦮 - [Dog Training by Pranati](https://mytribe.in/theo_n_me/dog-training) · ₹800-2,000 per session (estimate) · Sri Chamarajendra Park - [Dog Training by Balaji](https://mytribe.in/dogtrainer_balaji/dog-training) · ₹500-1,500 per session (estimate) · RT Nagar - [Board and Train Programs by Garima Tomar](https://mytribe.in/garimatomar/board-and-train-programs) · ₹1,200-3,500 per day (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 - [Adult Dog Obedience Training by Zoella Dog Training](https://mytribe.in/zoella_dogtraining/adult-dog-obedience-training) · ₹1,000-2,200 per session (estimate) · Zoella Dog Training Centre - [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 - [Personal Protection Dog Training by Vicky Franklin](https://mytribe.in/fetchcaninetraining/personal-protection-dog-training) · ₹60K-1.2L per dog (full training program) (estimate) · Fetch Canine Training School Phase 2 ## Book To book Umesh Kumar, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Competitive%20Dog%20Sports%20Training%20by%20Umesh%20Kumar.)
