Your dog: how we begin together
I observe how your dog responds to me, communicates and engages at a comfortable pace. Those responses help me adapt the approach. Your dog does not need to know commands or warm up to me immediately.
The Readiness Check · Pune
Before we make a plan,
let’s understand each other.
One meeting to understand your dog, what your family needs and how we could work together. We look at your dog’s response, the practice you can make room for, and a realistic starting point.
60 minutes · ₹2,100 · Pune
Readiness is about all of us.
Your family: what fits real life
We talk about your routine, who cares for your dog and the practice you can realistically manage between sessions. You can ask questions and understand what working together would involve.
The plan: a useful starting point
We bring those pieces together to agree the first priority and whether my approach fits your needs. That may mean some practical changes, ongoing training or another professional’s input.
You leave knowing what to focus on.
- A clearer understanding of your dog’s responses and needs.
- One practical priority to begin with.
- What your family’s participation would involve.
- A recommendation on whether and how we work together.
This is a consultation, not a pass-or-fail test. One meeting gives us a starting point; your dog’s responses may change as trust and familiarity grow.
A full programme is one possible outcome.
Guidance for now
A clearer understanding and a few practical changes may be the right starting point, without a full programme.
A few changes first
A change to the routine, environment or expectations may help us make training more workable.
Structured preparation
Foundations, focused behaviour support or travel preparation may be appropriate. We discuss the scope and fee after understanding your needs.
Another professional first
Veterinary or specialist behaviour support may be the right starting point where health, distress or safety requires it.
Where and how do we meet?
Checks are in person in Pune. Share your neighbourhood before booking. Mugdha confirms whether the location and requirement fit her current availability, then agrees a suitable setting with you.
Observation may begin at home or in an agreed suitable environment. The 60-minute in-person fee is ₹2,100. Location and any additional travel charge are confirmed before payment. Your appointment is confirmed once payment is received.
Family members who regularly handle the dog should join where practical. Mention relevant health concerns or safety incidents when enquiring.
Questions before booking
Do we need a travel plan to book?
No. The Readiness Check can begin with puppy life, everyday routines, behaviour concerns, walks, handling or travel. We look at your dog, your family and what a workable plan would involve.
Is ₹2,100 the full programme price?
No. ₹2,100 is the fee for the 60-minute Readiness Check. Further training, if recommended, is discussed separately.
Is the consultation fee adjusted against a programme?
The consultation is a separately paid session with its own guidance and recommendation. It is not automatically deducted from programme fees. Any adjustment already agreed with you will be honoured.
What if my dog does not need a programme?
That is a valid outcome. You may need initial guidance, a few changes or a different kind of support. There is no obligation to join a programme.
Can a consultation be useful on its own?
Yes. A consultation can help clarify your next step. Read Swapnil’s Google review after Kuku’s in-person consultation.
What if I am outside Pune?
A 60-minute online consultation is ₹1,800. We discuss your dog, home routine and practical next steps, using relevant videos where helpful. Online support cannot replace in-person observation in every case. Read about online support.
Helpful before you decide.
