About Dog Friendly India

A bigger life.
Built from small moments.

Dog Friendly India helps dogs and their people prepare for everyday life, outings and travel together. Founded by Mugdha Yelkar in Pune, with force-free, breed-aware training at its heart.

Dog training for more life together

The DFI idea

More life together starts at home.

Not every goal is a holiday. Sometimes it is a less frantic doorway or a walk you both enjoy.

The Open Door builds foundations for puppies and adult dogs. Roadtrip Ready applies relevant skills to outings, drives and unfamiliar places. Both involve the parent, because you are the person living the rest of the week with your dog.

The product recommendations and planned treats range grow out of that same everyday work.

A clearer path from wanting to doing.

Founded by Mugdha Yelkar in Pune, DFI offers force-free, breed-aware training for everyday life, outings and travel. Dog Travel Readiness Training grows from those everyday foundations, with practice shaped around your dog and your plans.

The Readiness Check is the starting point. The Open Door builds foundations; Roadtrip Ready prepares suitable dog-parent pairs for travel contexts.

DFI provides training and readiness guidance. It does not operate tours, book travel, offer boarding or run a property directory.

Tell me about your dog.

What feels difficult? What would you love to do together? You do not need to know which programme to ask for.
