*Sensitive content in the 2nd pic* This boy and his humans came to us … after a serious incident where their 3 year old Indie mix boy bit an old lady during their morning walk. It was a Grade 3+ bite and the old woman collapsed due to the trauma and had to be given shots to get her BP in control ! They had tried everything … including training from a well known dog trainer who stopped coming for the sessions once he learnt of the behaviour issues that were coming to surface while he was training the dog. The humans at home were bitten several times as well as their numerous visitors. In all, the situation was serious enough to get him into our Board & Train Behaviour Rehab program in December 2023. We did a combination of home training sessions with his humans at their home to empower them with the skills to provide their dog the leadership the dog deserved ! And here is the result. The mom took her boy for a trip all by herself and had the best time with her furry companion. Such words make our day and everything that we do .. absolutely worth it ! Changing the lives of doggos and their humans is what we do … and we feel so proud ! Thank you 🙏
After closing a very long albeit a happy day, as I was leaving the venue post my sister’s mehendi ceremony .. this boy who was right outside on the street, rushed to me to give me lots of cuddles and love ! I could tell that he is well fed and taken care of .. on inquiring around, the security guard proudly told me that he takes care of this boy and has named him Brownie. There were atleast 15-20 people outside leaving the venue but he chose only me to shower all his love ! All my physical exhaustion disappeared .. and I stopped to get a pic with the handsome boy ! Dogs are magnificent creatures and I am so grateful to receive their unconditional love in this lifetime ! Thank you Brownie for a perfect ending to my beautiful day !
Let's Talk about Dog Socialisation!
Dog Socialisation is broadly misunderstood as dog to dog interaction and fun time.
However that's where we start wrong and start living with the pressure of meeting or not meeting other dogs.
Take effort with your furry to experience different scenarios and situations to help grow both of your's Socialisation skills and share the companionship.
We help your dog to associate :
👉 New or fearful situations with positive experiences.
👉 Guidance on the right energy, body language and leadership tips and techniques.
👉 An overview of Dog Psychology to strengthen your communication & bond.
Reach out to get started 😊
So .. so good to hear from pet parents how we have been able to add value to their lives and to their dogs life most important … because that’s exactly what our endeavour is 🙏… Thank you for your humbling review.
One of our guests’ mom was expecting and went into labour while her furry was with us for a few days. Hearing from her how stress free she was .. knowing her furry is safe, happy and well taken care of … is humbling. Thank you 🙏 This is exactly what our mission is … to be able to help pet parents be worry free while they are away focusing on what they are meant to focus on .. whether it’s a vacation or a crucial life event ! Gratitude for your trust and patronage 🙏
Why are trial stays important ? Is it normal for your dog to be tired and sleepy when he comes back from his stay at a boarding ? Watch the Reel to know !
Did you know ? ? The Primary and most important time for puppy socialization is the first three months of their life?
During this time puppy should be exposed to as many new people, animals, and environments as can be achieved SAFELY and WITHOUT CAUSING OVERSTIMULATION !
This is because the first three months are the period when their desire to socialize outweighs fear, this is the primary window of opportunity for puppies to adapt to new people animals, and experiences. Incomplete or improper socialization during this important time can increase the risk of behavioral problems later in life including fear, avoidance, and aggression. SO START EARLY !

Your Dog is Not a Baby!
Todays culture is absolutely ruining dogs and as behaviourists we are seeing more and more preventable problems appearing not only at our facilities but in the public domain too!
People are treating their dogs like children, and no matter how much you say it, or what you believe, they are not children. They are dogs... An apex predator with forty two teeth in their head and a bite pressure that can break bones.
They deserve treating like dogs!
Somehow treating your dog like a dog has become a taboo subject and its because of the warped, snowflake generation that's flooding the industry.
Can't say no to a dog.
Can't go in cold weather with a dog.
Can't let a dog get muddy.
Can't give a dog a job.
Can't feed a dog raw meat.
If your dog is in shape its too skinny.
We are walking around in a world where giving your dog a job is cruel beyond belief but having a dog 30kg overweight with diabetes falling out of its ears is absolutely fine. It's warped and twisted and wrong.
They are dogs! Treat them as dogs. You cannot take any pristine animal on this earth and pretend that it's a baby. Oh hello, this is my whale, he is my baby. It doesn't work like that, and if you respect the dog, it doesn't work with them either.
We have to push back on this snowflake mentality because it is literally killing dogs. Dogs are being euthanised every day purely because nobody told them what rules they were supposed to follow or because they weren't given a job they so desperately wanted.
Let's start honouring our dogs for the absolutely amazing creatures they are. Dogs are magnificent, majestic, intelligent, robust. So let's stop killing them and treat them for exactly what they are.
Respect & Honour your dog.
Monsoons or not … fun @ TAC is non stop. ❤️

The Alpha Connect Essentials !
🐶 Workshop on TAC Essentials
We at The Alpha Connect believe in one simple philosophy. Once the dogs and parents truly understand each other, the rest is easy.
If you can relate with any of the below irrespective of whether your dog is already trained or not:
✅ Your Dog pull on the leash
✅ Your Dog is Jumping up
✅ Your Dog barks uncontrollably
✅ Your Dog is aggressive
✅ Your Dog is chewing things
✅ Your Dog is not responding to your commands
✅ Your Dog gets over excited
✅ Your Dog is whining constantly
✅ Your Dog has a fear of certain sounds or stimuli or suffers from separation anxiety
Is a clear indication of lack of right communication?
👉 Right communication is the key to build a healthy relationship by fulfilling the basic and daily needs.
The Alpha Connect Essentials workshop is an initiative to guide pawrents to understand the importance and ways of building a healthy relationship with your furry companion and solve most of the Behaviour issues.

Excitement!
A lot of time people misunderstand excitement as happiness, which in dogs is not a natural state of mind.
An over excited dog can create unstable energy in the pack leading to fight.
Naturally dogs help each other to be calm and confident within the pack and the same can be seen in the video.
Help your furry friend to be calm by taking few simple steps :
👉 Do not nurture Excitement
👉 Provide supervised play time by creating boundaries to help release the energy
👉 Engage the nose
👉 Be calm and assertive
DM to learn more about dog world and help raise a calm and confident companion 😊
Happy Guests at TAC😊🎉
Does your dog jump and bark at you and the visitors when they enter home ? Do you tie up your dog or lock him/her up when you have visitors who are scared of them ? Here’s the story of a close friend who was able to overcome her fear of dogs with the help of our furries Noel and Pride. Terrified of dogs and even their name 🤣 she refused to enter our home in the initial days of our friendship. And NO we never tied our kids or locked them up in another room. We worked with the hooman and requested her to follow a few tips whenever she came home like No touch, no eye contact, no talk and confident, firm body language etc. And of course, Noel’s and Pride’s calm behaviour around her, following boundaries with guests at home boosted her confidence further. Swipe left to see her pics of interacting with dogs wherever she travels and being liberated from one of her big fears ❤️
Google : Naam toh Suna hi Hoga 🤣😂
Why we need trial ?
A lot of pawrents ask us this question! In search of a boarding facility 😊
Google an adult male beagle came to us for a day care trial in 2020 and there after he has been part of TAC family and enjoys every stay with us 😊🤗
His pawrents mentioned multiple times that after every stay when he is back home … he misses TAC for few days and throws tantrums to go back 😂😆
All this was possible because of a Trial visit which he enjoyed initially and felt safe and secured within the facility and people.
The above videos is of his current stay and we can see how calm and confident he is 😍😊

Heaven on earth 🌍 for Dogs only 😜 [ Dog Boarding, Dog Day Care, Cagefree Boarding]
Toofan’s family wants him to sit quietly and calmly in the balcony while they finish up their daily morning routine inside the house. It takes them a lot of hard work with Toofan to get him to follow their simple instructions. Watch the reel to see the difference between of how it’s done Vs. HOW SHOULD BE DONE ! This is where a leash should be used as a communication tool between you and your dog rather than exciting him and then “trapping” him in that balcony. Start looking and using the leash to communicate with your dog rather than restraining him. Want to learn Leash Handling & how to use it to guide your dog ? DM US ! [Dog psychology, Dog Parenting, Puppy training, Dog Training, Dog behaviour, Dog behaviourist, Calm Dogs, confident dogs]
Many pet parents ask me as to how much walk/exercise should I give to my dog ! #dogpsychology #walkyourdog #dogsneedexercise #structuredwalks #happydogs #calmandconfidentdogs
DID YOU KNOW that we communicate our own tension to our dogs through a tight leash. If you are someone who is worried about how your dog will respond to other people and dogs or how other dogs will respond to yours .. this one is for you ! When you start to worry or anticipate a potential problem, you are thinking about the situation and not the leash that you are holding ! You won’t even notice that you are pulling right up on the leash and but your dog will ! And your dog will respond with his or her own worry ! Up your game with the leash, understand that the leash is a communication tool and not just to hold your dog tight ! DM US IF YOU WANT TO BRUSH UP OR LEARN LEASH HANDLING SKILLS FOR BETTER COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR DOG ! #leashhandlingskills #leashtraining #masterthewalk #mastertheleash #dogpsychology #dogsofinstagram #dogparentsindia #petsofinstagram
As a Dog behaviourist, I cannot stress enough how important it is to teach children, safe ways of interacting with Dogs INCLUDING your own pet dog. #dogs #dogsinpune #dogbehaviourist #dogspsychology #dogsofinstagram #petsofinstagram

Our Socialisation sessions are designed to empower humans to strengthen their relationship with their dogs and become calm, confident leaders to them !

Many pet parents make this mistake of using the leash only to pull their dog back or to drag them (or get dragged) ! A leash is actually a tool to communicate with your dog and build and strengthen your relationship with him/her. And that’s why every pet parent must work on their leash handling skills so they can communicate effectively with their dog. You will be able to direct him to take the right decisions when needed and also guide/protect him when he reactive towards other dogs or in amidst distractions or triggers. These skills can only be gained through consistent practice and perhaps some guidance from a professional. Want to learn or practice your leash handling skills with your dog ?

🐾 Is your furry friend exhibiting redirected aggression? Don't worry, we've got a paw-some solution: Socialization! 🐾 🐾 Unleash the Power of Socialization! 🐶 🌟 Socializing your dog is like giving them a VIP pass to the world of canine connections. It's all about helping them build positive relationships and navigate social situations with confidence and grace. 🐾✨ 👉 Redirected aggression happens when your pup can't express their frustration or fear towards the source, so they redirect it elsewhere - like a case of mistaken identity! But fear not, socialization can be a game-changer! 🎮 🐾 By introducing your dog to new people, dogs, and environments in a positive and controlled way, you're giving them the tools to handle life's challenges with a wagging tail. It's like teaching them the art of "pawsitive" communication! 🐾🗣️ 💪 Socialization helps your pup develop impulse control, learn to read social cues, and become more tolerant of stressful situations. It's like a confidence boost that transforms them into the su-paw-star of their own life! 🌟 Picture this: your dog strutting their stuff, tail held high, as they confidently navigate the world around them. 🐾✨ That's the power of socialization! 🐶💕 Socializing your dog not only helps address redirected aggression but also opens doors to a world of pawsome possibilities. Here's how it works: Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is a well-socialized pup! 🏛️🐾 It takes time, patience, and consistency to help your dog become a social butterfly. But trust us, the rewards are worth it! 🎉 So, let's embark on this socialization adventure together! Grab that leash, put on your walking shoes, and let's show the world just how amazing your pup can be. 🌍🐶 DM/WhatsApp to join our free Socialisation session on Sun 25th Feb 8:30 am @tac_dpc Remember you are not alone 🙏 #SocializationSavesTheDay #dogsocialisation #redirectedaggression #calm
I am not saying “we shouldn’t have fun with our dogs” ! All I am saying is … NOT ALL THE TIME ! If we encourage bad behaviour which ultimately become habits .. only because our dog is too “cute” and it’s hard to say No ! Then these cute nibbles can easily turn into painful bites ! #tacdpc #cutedogs #dogpsychology #dogbehaviourmodification #punedogboardingandtraining #dogsofindia #petparenting
Many pet parents make this mistake only due to lack of awareness and education ! While they excite/arouse their dog during play, affection etc. they really work on switching off that excitement ! They leave their dog in an excited state of mind and not work on inculcating calmness in them ! Remember an excited dog doesn’t always mean a happy dog ! Dogs who suffer from separation anxiety, reactivity etc are all examples of “excited” dogs ! And they are NOT happy … they are simply excited or aroused ! #dogpsychology #dogbehavior #exciteddogs #dogtraining #punedogtrainingandboarding
Honestly, I see pet parents going on to two extremes .. “I never intervene, I just let them work it out amongst themselves” or the opposite .. pulling their dog away instantly or correcting him/her for a growl like you see in the video. What I do is .. always take the middle ground. If I am absolutely sure that one dog is going to harm the other dog, I will surely intervene ! But if I am sure that the dog is only using an appropriate social signal and giving feedback to their dog … then I stay quiet. And how would you know ? Well that will take an understanding of the Dogs world and their Psychology !

“How long will it take to train my dog” … So many pet parents ask me this question. The simple answer to this question is .. It’s an ongoing process ! Watch the Reel to know why ! #dogpsychology #dogtraining #punedogtraining #dogtrainersofindia
Socialisation for dogs involves exposing them to various people, animals, environments, and experiences to help them adapt and learn appropriate behaviour. Socialisation is an ongoing process throughout a dog’s life. Early exposure is essential, but regular socialisation and positive experiences helps them in their overall well being. It’s never late, DM to know more and register for our socialisation sessions. #dogsocialization #dogwellness #dogbehavior

Many of my clients have asked me this question. Recently also someone reached out saying she uses a stick when her dog misbehaves in front of guests to stop him from jumping on them. He is a big dog weighs about 40kgs and obviously his jumps on people are anything but cute ! So think about this .. when your dog was a little puppy who when came running to you as you entered home after work .. you found this very cute and YOU taught him to behave this way by giving him your attention and love. And now that he is doing exactly what YOU taught him .. on your guests it has become an issue that you want to correct by using a Stick or your shoe for that matter ! Instead of fear based correction, as pet parents it’s imperative to learn to build a solid relationship with your dog with an understanding of DOG PSYCHOLOGY ! This can be fixed but not with a stick … not with fear but with RESPECT, TRUST & LEADERSHIP ! #dogpsychology #dogtraining #dogbehaviourmodification #dogsinnature🌳 #jumpingonguests #wellbehaveddogs
