Hi, I’m Priyanka Tiwari, a dog trainer and canine behaviour specialist who believes that living with dogs should feel peaceful, enriching, and deeply connected, for both the dog and the human. My journey into the world of dog behaviour didn’t start in a classroom. It started in 2019, when I adopted my first dog, Bindiya, a rescue who completely changed my life. Like many first-time adopters, I assumed that finding a good trainer would be easy. But when I began looking for help, I realised that reliable guidance was surprisingly hard to find. Bindiya had her own personality, sensitivities, and quirks, and I wanted to understand her not just control her behaviour. So I began learning. What started as reading, observing, and experimenting to help my own dog slowly grew into a deeper fascination with how dogs think, communicate, and experience the world. Bindiya became my greatest teacher. Through her, I learnt patience, timing, communication, and the importance of truly listening to a dog. That curiosity eventually turned into a professional path. Over time, I pursued formal education and certifications in dog training and canine behaviour. I hold a Professional Diploma in Canine Forensics from the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU), an institution affiliated with the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India. I have also trained with Canaan K9 Academy in Bangalore and K9 School in Delhi, where I developed practical experience in training and behaviour work. Today, my work focuses on helping dogs and their humans understand each other better. Many of the dogs I work with are not “bad dogs”, they’re simply misunderstood. Behaviour issues often arise when a dog is confused, overstimulated, anxious, or not getting the mental and physical outlets they need. Some of the common challenges I help families navigate include: - Aggression toward people or other dogs - Reactivity on walks - Excessive barking - Leash pulling - Destructive behaviour at home - Puppy biting and overexcitement - Difficulty settling or relaxing - Separation distress My approach focuses on identifying why the behaviour is happening, rather than just suppressing it. Training should help dogs feel clearer, calmer, and more confident, while helping humans develop better communication and structure. Alongside my training work, I also share educational content through my Instagram platform @train.with.PT , where I discuss real-life training situations, behavioural insights, and practical advice for dog owners. I created this website as a place to bring together the things I’ve learnt through professional training, through working with dogs and their families, and most importantly, through my own journey with Bindiya. If you’re here, chances are you care deeply about your dog and want to understand them better. And that’s always the best place to start. Happy Training! ~PT
