"Chitra is a wonderfully warm trainer and person! She taught me to understand and work with our shy rescue dog who was afraid of everything! He has come a long way and I have too! Chitra is as genuine as they come and she truly cares!"

"As an adult rescue, our dog missed out on important socialization when he was a puppy and instead developed a host of maladaptive behaviors. Chitra has given us great insight into his mindset and the tools to bring out the best in him. She is equally knowledgeable and personable. We're so grateful to have found her!"

"Chitra is a life saver! Three weeks after we brought Pepper home from the shelter, she started growling and biting our family. She came to our house and worked with my husband, our two daughters and me to train our puppy. Over time Chitra has helped us to develop positive behavior based strategies to address Pepper’s guarding issues … Chitra is very patient, optimistic and always comes prepared."

"My husband and I have enjoyed working with Chitra as we continue to learn more about working with our two pups. Her training methodology has been very successful for us. She’s great about not only the importance of training consistency for the dogs, but also the humans! And the dogs love working with her as well."

"After our first lesson with Chitra I felt like the Mary Poppins for dogs had landed on my door step. She is training both of us! And what I love is that she makes sure to correct what I am doing wrong as it turns out Coco is a faster learner than I am."

"Chitra helped me to correct, Tess, my Black Lab Retriever's reactive behavior and used the gentle leader head collar that I now love."
~ S. Kearney |

"I am so grateful to Chitra for her guidance in getting me started with training my Wheaten Terrier, Bonnie! I had not had a new puppy in over 20 years so was a little overwhelmed. Chitra put me and Bonnie completely at ease. The best part was that she gave lessons in my home so we could get started before Bonnie was even eligible for typical obedience classes!"

"We had just adopted our 12 week Pitbull mix who was full of energy and a good spirit so we knew we needed someone knowledgeable to come in and guide us. That is exactly what Chitra has done over the past 6 weeks; guided us with her positive reinforcement training that we can apply daily into our lives. Her passion for dogs was instantly recognizable."

"Rosie has changed so much since Chitra began the training with us. We have seen the progress in Rosie and we are so thankful that Chitra is helping us! We never thought Rosie could learn 'down' or 'leave it', and we never knew she would enjoy the training so much! Thank you Chitra!"

"Our now two-year-old golden retriever, Mia, was quite the spirited little pup, so at age 4 months I took her to puppy obedience … It was remarkable to see Mia’s reaction and response to Chitra. There's nothing better than walking into our private training sessions and being greeted with a warm smile and hug from Chitra. She provides a high-touch, personalized approach that works! Chitra’s number one priority for her clients is to provide behavior modification to ensure the safety and well-being of our dog."

"Chitra was amazing! We've never had a rescue before and she gave us the tools to work effectively with our Suki. In a sense, she rescued us."
~ R. Zalocha |

"Chitra played a key role in helping us prepare our male Labrador Retriever for search and rescue dog training by providing us with the obedience and dog handler training required by the California Rescue Dog Association (CARDA). Chitra took the CARDA requirements and developed a customized obedience training for our dog that was a great success. With Chitra's help, we now know that our dog has what it takes to become a search and rescue dog..."

"Chitra helped me and my 2 dogs (ages 8 years old & 5 months old) with so many things. Her vast knowledge of dogs assured me that my dogs had the temperaments to learn to get along, helped me recognize their signals, and above all has given me the skills and confidence to train my dogs!"
