## About Dog Training & Behavior Modification

I believe training is about building trust, not just teaching commands. If you’re struggling with your dog’s behavior, you’re not alone. Most folks come to me because their puppy’s biting is out of control, potty training feels impossible, or walks are a tug-of-war. Sometimes it’s the barking, jumping, or just feeling like your dog isn’t listening. *Tumcha dog tumcha aikat nahi ka?* (Is your dog not listening to you?) Happens to the best of us.

### My Training Style

- I use only fear-free dog training methods. No punishment, no shouting, no force.  
- Positive reinforcement dog training is my go-to. Treats, toys, praise - whatever your dog loves, we use that to motivate.
- Sessions are short, consistent, and based on how dogs actually learn. I keep things practical and doable at home or outside.

### What I Help With

- Puppy socialization tips for new pups, plus biting and potty training fixes.
- Basic obedience: Sit, Stay, Paw, Place, and recall (Come).
- Leash pulling solutions for calmer walks.
- Behavior modification for anxiety, fear, hyperactivity, and impulse control.

### You’re Involved

I coach you as much as your dog. You’ll learn to read your dog’s signals and keep the training going after I leave. Most sessions happen at your home or nearby, so your dog learns where it matters.

### My story

Hi, I’m Vedika from Waggology. Dogs call me all sorts of names, and honestly, I love it. Training for me? It’s not about bossing your dog, it’s about learning to listen to them. I believe every pet deserves a trained human - haan, sach mein (yes, really)! I’ll probably spoil your dog with a silly nickname and a lot of love. I care about all animals, streeties too. Main goal? Happy, calm dogs. And happier humans.

### My work

- **What I Do**: Dog training, puppy potty training help, pre-pet consults, home pet sitting, vacation/event sitting, dog walking, and dog socialization treks.
- **How I Train**: Only positive reinforcement dog training here. No fear, no shouting. Just love, patience, and lots of treats.
- **For Pet Parents Too**: I coach you, not just your dog. You’ll learn to read their body language and build real trust.
- **Puppy Problems?**: From biting to potty training, we start early habits for a lifetime of good behavior.
- **Tough Behaviors**: Anxiety, aggression, barking? We find out why and make a plan so your dog feels safe.
