ABOUT
Hi! I'm Janhavi
In 2019 I decided to take my life long love of working with dogs and turn it into a career. I use a science-led holistic approach and collaborate with veterinarians, nutritionists and groomers to set you and your companion up for your best life together. My training methods are transparent and cruelty-free: I ensure the pet parent is able to read and train their dog after I am done.
I believe in finding a solution to any problem without the use of prong collars, choke chains, electric shock collars and force. No matter your dog’s age, breed, or challenges, I can set a realistic and effective training plan.
After training under Shirin Dhabhar in India and in the UK under John Rogerson of The Northern Centre for Canine Behaviour, I have worked with dogs all over the world including The Netherlands, Thailand, Dubai, China and India.
My goal is to make your dream dog a reality and to teach you the most effective, educated, and ethical way to train and live with your best friend.

Training Methods I use
Positive Reinforcement
Adding in something your dog likes (usually food or play) to increase or maintain a behaviour. This makes training more fun for everyone!
Counter-conditioning
Turn activities your dog doesn't like (nail trims, ear cleanings) into a happy experience by pairing it with something they love to create a positive association!
"Behaviour Swapping"
Help your pup learn an alternative behavior instead of the unwanted one.
