The K9 Service - Dog behaviourist/ Dog Trainer/ Petsitter

On 9th July 2025, I found Sonal Maam through Google search. The first person whom I contacted and on 10th began, my then 2 months old pup Bella’s training. Bella is a super energetic puppy who isn’t easy to handle. If it wasn’t for Sonal Maam, I wouldn’t have known how to handle her. She now understands my commands and obviously she is still mischievous but I know how to deal with her in a better way. I have bothered Maam at odd hours so many times because I couldn’t understand Bella’s behaviour. Sometimes it was her health which concerned me, then Maam helped me and suggested me the way forward. It was overwhelming in the 1st month when Bella came home. That time she literally counselled me. I am really grateful to her and her support. There is still a long way to go ahead and many things to explore and I am for sure going to need her help😊

Sonal has been extremely paitent amd kind with my poodle and me. I am a first time dog owner and sonal has been instrumental in giving me several tips on how to manage with an overecited hyper puppy 🐶 😀 Zanskar the poodle has learnt several commands and follows them as I practise with him often. Will definitely be using her services soon again and I highly recommend a paitent trainer like Sonal.

I had an amazing experience with Sonal! Her professionalism, patience, and deep understanding of dog behavior truly stood out. My dog Chai responded so well to the training, and I noticed a significant improvement in obedience and behavior. She made the training process enjoyable and easy to follow, providing valuable tips and techniques that I can continue using. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dog trainer!

Sonal absolutely turned my dog's world upside down, in the best way! When we begun training 3 months ago, he was a scared reacue that wasn't able to trust humans or even leave the house. The first month focused on building his confidence and improving human interactions by teaching commands, playing puzzles & games, some challenging exercises, and noise desensitization, all indoors. We then slowly started taking him to the passageway outside our main door to introduce him to new spaces outside the house. Month two began with potty training and midway through month two is when we slowly started taking him outdoors for walks within the building while continuing the rest of the regular training at home, including improving his scent by hiding treats. Month three is when we started taking him for walks outside of the building and also to other peoples houses so he can socialize with more humans and learn to be in new environments. We also began teaching him how to swim. He's still scared of a lot of things (since that's his nature) but he would not have been able to progress to where he is without her support. Looking forward to working with her again!

We have had an amazing experience with Sonal. She is extremely punctual and professional — always on time and fully prepared for every session. Copper, our 4-month-old Golden Retriever, is a very energetic pup, which can sometimes make it hard for him to stay focused during training, but Sonal handled it with so much patience and skill. What I appreciate most is how she helped us understand our dog better, not just train him. Her guidance has made a huge difference in our day-to-day communication. In just one month, Copper has learned crucial skills like recall, stay, and other basic commands. I’m truly impressed with how far he has come at such a young age. we highly recommend Sonal to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable dog trainer 🐾💛 Best regards, Copper, Shreya & Cheetal
