“Effective training is a joint venture between you and your dog based on trust and love via scientific approach.” - Anonymous

Nidhi Sanghrajka Mehta, a Certified Canine Trainer has an extensive vision of creating a reputable society for the dogs; including pedigree and street pets. She has been trained at Canines Can Care under renowned Canine Behaviourist and Trainer Shirin Merchant, the only p

erson in Asia and one of 9 people in the world, to have gained an accreditation from the Kennel Club of England’s elite KCAI scheme for dog trainers and behaviourists. Since her childhood days, Nidhi has always been passionate about dogs and they have never ceased to fascinate her with their means of communication and ways of expression. Dogs have a certain aura that fill the surrounding with absolute positivity and enhance the life of their owners. To explore this phenomenon further, which is essentially supported with scientific research; and to utilize it to create a very strong bond between humans and dogs, she took a plunge into this unconventional field of “Dog Training”. Training Methods:
For Nidhi, training is a means to establish a strong bond with the dogs, and in the process also to inculcate good manners in them, helpful for co-existence with the humans. She robustly believes in training the dogs using Positive Reinforcement Method, side-stepping the old school training method by use of harsh techniques which eventually leads to fearfulness in the dogs. This method promises of a whole lot of fun along the way - with various treats and toys on the go! Why Train:
1. A trained doggy is a happy doggy! For any pet parent it is very essential to teach their pets certain rules of the house at an early age so as to avoid any unwanted behavior further down.

2. Training your dog also ensures his/her safety in varied environments while you are walking them or taking them out for some fun. You can be sure that they can be your well-behaved wingman at any given place!

3. Most importantly, training helps in establishing a sound bond with your pet and gives him/her an opportunity to look upon at you. With Nidhi, your pooches and machos are definitely going to have an enjoyable time while being trained to be well-mannered and good kids! They shall also learn how to socialize well with fellow pet mates and get familiar to face all types of environment that would assist them to be more socially acceptable at home as well as public. Only positive reinforcement training will be used, which is scientifically shown to produce long-lasting, effective behavior change. The training will be designed in a way that will cater to the needs of your family and lifestyle; keeping your pet at the centre. Other activities:

• Puppy Socializing
• Pet Events like Birthday Pawrty, Social Gatherings, etc.
• Puppy Counseling

Tails and Trails 3.0 | Hike with Your Dog

Dogspective x DivingDeep

Winters are here and what's better than welcoming it with our buddies on a nice evening hike with a dip in the water?!

The idea of hiking in wilderness is to encourage an essence of exploration and treading the untamed land for the dogs to feel more accomplished at the end of the day. Hiking can boost confidence and help act upon anxiety of a fearful dog and at the same time calm down an over-active dog. It is a natural and enjoyable way for people and dogs to wander into newer territories, like running up a marshy trail, leaping over streams, and climbing on hilly areas that allows a dog to be a dog!

Date: January 13th, Saturday
Timing: 4pm to 7 pm
Hiking Location: Meshwo Wilderness

Early bird discounts for booking until 8th January!

It's the festive season and the season of loads of events!! And that's when we wish to take our dogs everywhere possible, in the name of SOCIALIZATION..

But how many of us, do we really look at our dogs and see whether these events are for them or not.. is it really A place for "Socialization" ?!

So let's talk what Socialization is all about and let's clear up some myths..
you Think Social

P.S: We understand that you're trying to do the best for your dogs, hence do take an informed decision now on.. if your dog doesn't enjoy a social event, then it's not meant for him/her! By forcing the dog to be friendly with other people and dogs, doesn't mean Socialization, and it will surely make things worse.

Last Sunday was a day to remember: from getting up at 3 in the morning to experiencing an enriching trail with dogs: it was power- packed!
Had an amazing group of 8 pet parents and 9 dogs. A , 2 golden retrievers, 3 labs, a rough collie and a bichon frise comprised of the pack, all with different energy levels, stamina, genetics, age groups and with their own history of behaviours... One dog came with a history of non- stop hu***ng, one with doubts whether he'll be able to hike so long, one was a small breed furry dog, while another the youngest being a 4.5 month old pup and also the eldest one was a 12 year old , there was yet one who had reactivity issues if someone entered in his space, while there were 2 with strong herding instincts..

However, few minutes into the hike and these dogs set out an amazing pace and calmed down the energies- less pulling and more sniffing - well, ensuring the distances and placements played a role as much as NATURE played it's role!!
None had issues with each other and the way they've explored! This was a day the dogs got to be dogs! Digging up the sand, walking the marshy land, climbing up the trails, and sniffing to their heart's delight! Eventually, it was a pack, where every dog waited for others to join, and also while resting they saw to it to stick together and not wander away..

Not to forget mentioning, it was heart warming to see these dogs wait for their humans and encourage them to climb up a trail which they would easily scout.. the Dog parents challenged themselves to walk this route for their dogs and it was so overwhelming to see the bond cultivate...

All in all, the dogs had their day, and the Tails had fun on the Trails!!

So many of us overlook the pain that our pets maybe enduring...! Please do tend to follow the guidelines given out by your vet's and manage the pain efficiently...

Often, I get asked, what's the right age to start training? Well, the day the puppy lands home! The puppy is observing, learning, and absorbing each and everything happening around. Do not wait for the right time, start reinforcing good behaviours from day 1 and set the pup up for success! Puppy proof the house, toilet train from day 1, Reduce the amount of No bad boy/girl and increase the amount of Yes, Good Boy/ Girl and you'll barely see issues cropping up with appropriate guidance!
Struggling with puppy woes? DM for a consultation/ online session.

🤔Ever noticed a street dog chasing a car on a busy road? Or hear them howling at midnight? All these behaviours have a meaning.

Earlier this week, we collaborated with canine behavior specialist, , for an interactive workshop with the communities to better understand our four-legged friends, avoid mishandling situations that involve street dogs, and foster a peaceful coexistence between humans and dogs.

The workshop threw light on the most frequent behaviors
exhibited by dogs and their corresponding meanings.

Best Buddy's!
Thricky (the dog) will always be around Cheese (the cat) to protect and safeguard her from other dogs or other cats. Thricky and another dog Blackie will both ensure if Cheese is being harassed by another cat they would chase him out of the society! Such a beautiful inside relationship of love right?!
Does your dog/cat have a best buddy in their life ?!

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!
There are a number of events happening around us for our dogs, but few things to keep in mind to celebrate the Christmas carnival and New Year's is:
1. Does your dog really enjoy being in the crowded space? 🤔

2. Does he/she love to put on fancy Tees and junks? 🤔

3. Do they really enjoy making friends with new dogs? 🤔

4. Are they okay being petted by strangers and love to hang out with them? 🤔

If it was a NO for even one of the above questions then here's what you can do instead 😀:
1. Go out for a nice hike in the forest or near a river. Let them experience nature. 🌳🍂🏞

2. Allow them to dig and get dirty in muddy grasslands or play in sand pits🏖

3. Get an enrichment toy for them or DIY any interesting game.🎯

4. Invest a little more time in playing and lazing around with them. 🥎

5. Do what they please rather than doing what pleases you!! 🦮🐾

12/12/2022

CHEWING IS NOT ONLY A TEETHING BEHAVIOUR, BUT HELPS THE DOGS A LOT IN MANY OTHER WAYS AT ANY GIVEN AGE..

1. To release the pent- up energy
2. To release the built- up stress which may be due to a new environment, change in any surrounding situation , new people, etc.
3. To combat boredom
4. For maintaining dental hygiene
5. To simply cool down the body or relax before napping
6. To explore new textures
7. For cognitive development
8. To build-up confidence in anxious and nervous dogs
and many more..
