The Urban Dawg turned from dream into reality five years ago when I decided to share this journey of in-depth study, observation, practical try efforts on streeeties, friends pets and my own wise pack. I learnt so much more as I figured out how to bring them up in an urban world which was not naturally theirs by default. I started The Urban Dawg with a vision of co-parenting. The aim is to get pet-parents understand their dogs behaviour, mannerisms, likes and dislikes (basically all aspects of their personality) while boarding here. 90% of pets develop behavioral issues at home or on holiday for 2 basic reasons: boredom or lack of mental stimulus, and pet-parents inability to read the signs and respond. As a practicing canine behaviorist, I seek to identify & understand the dog while they stay with me and find ways to keep them occupied, resulting in a calmer, happier, more confident pet while at home stay. Then, of course, it’s about educating per-parents with audio-visuals taken here so they can do similar stuff at home. In the process I learn a lot more around dogs and their social behaviour, stress triggers & response to stimuli. Anecdotes around my case studies from a behaviour, diet and well-being standpoint are what I intend to share and document as my legacy to urban pet parents who wish to do the very best for their dogs.
