A little bit introduction about me :

Hi pet owners, do you have a busy week and you are feeling guilty about not being able to walk your dog? I understand how important it is for your dog to have a good exercise/walk for the day or else they get frustrated and chew up stuff in your home. I have been a dog walker in Netherlands for 3 years and in India for 8 years. I believe every dog ​​is capable of being calm and joyful. Since they get influenced by our moods and behavior I work with dog owners to help them become calmer dog owners. Along with dog walks, I also enjoy basic behavioral training of dogs. I have a very close bond with the last dog I trained named " Pudge" and " Joy" ( in my pictures) and I like to keep in touch with the owners to see how their puppy is doing. For me, this is not just a job, but a passion for brining joy and better life for dogs ( animals in general) . I am living in the center of Utrecht finishing my Master Thesis so I am quite flexible with time. I would never stop walking and training dogs. I also volunteered in national care in Wassenaar for 3 months enjoyed every bit of it. I have fair amount of experience in behavior training and dog walking. I like to do running and cycling with the dogs to give good exercise. If your dog is not trained for it I can also help with it :) A well exercised dog with good mental work out ( training) is always going to be calm and sweet in your home .

Following are the details of my services I offer :

1) Dog walk : I am a trained dog walker and I like to do enrichment walks. It means I teach dogs to follow my lead and help them to walk next to me ( without pulling on the leash) . My walks are generally 30 to 45 mins (depending on the weather and requirement). If the weather is not conductive I also offer alternate agility training. And of course plenty of affection and affirmation.

2) Leash pull: I teach dog owners and their belowed dogs to walk without a lot of stress on the leash. A simple leading method ( calm and assertive demeanor) goes a long way in getting the result. And of course solitaire works wonders.

3) Behavioral training : I teach dogs to not be aggressive with other people and be more social with other dogs. If you have issues with your dog being aggressive with other dogs , I can help you since I work with such dogs. And the good news is most dogs just need to be understood and need a strong leader to help them feel safe. Thats one of the secrets for them not lash out on other dogs :) I can certainly help you achieve that. Other training include : controlling puppy bites, setting boundaries in the house, respecting certain spaces, teaching them not to growl or bite while eating their meal.

4) Home visits : I also do home visits if its not more than 6 kms from the center of utrecht. My services include cleaning the mess made by the dogs/cats. Cleaning the kitty litter, Spending time with the pets ( dogs : entertaining them) , Taking them outside for toilet ( dogs) . Giving medications ( non - syringe ) . massages to dogs to relieve stress and anxiety ( if requested ) . My home visits are from 30 to 45 mins ( as per requirement and number or pets )

5) Pet/house Sitting : I offer pet sitting as well . Since I work on my thesis from home I can devote a lot of time with your pets when you are gone for your vacation. Number of days is flexible and negotiable. My service during pet sitting includes : watering the plants, cleaning after the pets ( kitty litter) and toys, Daily walks for dogs, playing with the dogs and keeping them entertained, Cleaning up after using utensils, and keeping the house tidy. If you have a garden (picking up poops). And ofcourse feeding the pets on time and giving necessary medication ( oral and applied medication) . Apart from all this I also offer puppy training and I like running and cycling with dogs. It gives them good exercise and helps them not to be bored at home. ( Upon your request I can offer these services as well).

I preach pet owners to cater to the needs of their pets. Needs which have been evolved through generations of evolution. I hope to see you and your beautiful pet soon :)

Cheers, Kiran
