About Me

    I was born and brought up in an agricultural family in a village and so animals have always been a good companions in my life. I had a dog when I was small whom I trained for hunting and he was excellent in obedience as well. His sense of control and direction won the harts of most in the village. He died at the age of 11 and it was hart braking for all of us. Later I became a Clinical Psychologist worked in a Hospital and Colleges in India for 10 years as I grew up because Psychology has been my passion since childhood. The theories of Ivan Pavlov and B.F Skinner has always fascinated me in behaviorism.  I thought of replicating the experiments done by the behaviorists and ended up with an idea to get trained in dog training while working in hospitals. Mr. Sanjayan who is an excellent dog trainer retired from Indian Military agreed to be my teacher in learning the training skills. There I came to know its not only the theory but skills are essential part of an effective dog trainer. Mr. Sanjayan guided me to Mr. Jogi Zank from Germany who is a world renowned dog trainer and teacher. Meeting him was a turning in my professional dog training. He made me accept the fact that if one wants to be a good trainer he must understand the theory well and he must develop his own techniques to manage diverse behavior of different dogs. He always say 'no dog is same and cant be managed same'. Later it was Mr. Sanjayan who guided me to Mr. Arnold Kivago who is another eminent personality in IGP. I had a lot to learn from in terms of tracking, protection and so on. I did my NEPOPO Silver and Gold School run by Mr. Bart Bellon & Michel Bellon which has taken a totally a different level of training approach. I then went to IMDT theory and later practical training ( training for trainers) which gave me a clear idea about how to move about with the ample of training skill i have already acquired.

I have trained thousands of dogs in my life for the last 17 years and I must thank all those dogs who widened my understanding about various types of behavior and different learnings systems.
