A relationship built on mutual trust & respect

I have a rescue dog who nips people who come into our home, however two days ago he bit a friend of mine badly. The next morning I took him to the vets as I felt he could not be trusted and they needed to be put to sleep. I am not proud of myself for that but I was so scared and thinking I was doing the best for everyone. The vet was kind and took her time with me as I was crying so hard I could not speak. She asked me to give him a chance and to contact Rajiv. Rajiv came that very night and worked with me and Frankie for three hours. His patience and understanding to me was outstanding. Words can not describe how he made me feel. He told me Frankie was the Alpha Male and only I could change it. Today I feel much better and looking forward to the next sessions. He saved my Frankies life and I am looking forward to spending time with this amazing dog. Thank you Rajiv from the bottom of my heart.

Our family rescued a puppy that had been abandoned in Al quoz- he was the most quiet petrified little thing I had ever come across. He soon settled with our family, however when a stranger entered the house he started barking and became very protective.

I called Rajiv not wanting to give up on this dog and hoping that he could help me "train " him. I totally underestimated the impact that Rajiv would have on our family- Rajiv coached all of us to help this dog be happier and more relaxed. Rajiv's calm energy and manner has something quite magical about it (until you meet him you will find it bizarre that I have written that).

I was very open to learning Rajiv's methods and it has ended up not only having a positive impact on my dog, but also I have applied using calm positive energy to my very energetic 2 year old. I have a hectic home with 3 kids, 2 dogs... and my time with Rajiv made me reflect on how I parent and try some alternative methods which have had staggering responses from my children.

It is hard to put into words the results that we have had from hiring Rajiv... I would just urge you to meet him and have an open mind. This is not dog "training" in the traditional sense of the word, the results that you will see far exceed your expectation.

Sometimes we are not aware of painful, deep buried matters in our minds and souls , that somehow do affect our daily life. We believe that we overcame them, that they do not exist anymore. Well.....not quite....

Our beloved dog Bella (who has been with us for 15 years ) has passed away 4 years back. Shortly after that, my daughters decided to get a puppy, Lexy - a bundle of joy, who has been deliberately allowed to became the master of the house, until.....her behavior became aggressive towards other people, uncontrollable. That's when we contacted Rajeev to help us out.

He did not know about Bella, nor I had any intention to bring up the subject, Lexy was the focus. However, Rajiv sensed that there is an underlining cause to our problem and gently probed; it was like opening a gate; a flurry of emotions came out (I was not aware that these emotions even existed). Until that day I have not realized that having Lexy for me was too soon, I did not let go of Bella (I was still holding onto her ashes) .

Rajiv helped me understand, accept, have a closure and move on. Part of Lexy's unwanted behavior was unconsciously fed by my own deep, suppressed sorrow.

It has been a liberating experience for me, and not only me, the entire family. Needless to say, Lexy is so much better on many levels. I have no words to thank enough Rajiv for his help , he'll always have a special place in our hearts!

First Time Dog Owner

It has been 20 months since our dog, Arlo came to us, and I could not have imagined then, how much he’s become part of the family. I find it hard to believe that just 3 days after bringing him home in August 2020, we were ready to admit we’d made a mistake, almost decided to give him up. At that point I fished out the card that my vet had handed me, and called Rajiv. And that changed everything.

Our Golden is the gentlest, friendliest pup with a calm, happy personality. Easy, one would think. But we were first time pet owners, probably hadn’t had a pet in our families for generations. We’d never been around animals and so we were completely unprepared when the chaos of a 4 month old puppy descended on our household. My 11 year old son, for whom we’d got the dog in the first place, could not eat his meals, for fear that the Dog would grab something from his hand. He stopped coming down to the living area, because the Dog, being happy to see him, would jump up on him in excitement. He got startled every time the Dog barked. This was not what he’d imagined it would be like. This isn’t what they show you in the movies.

And that’s what Rajiv changed for us. He rid us of our preconceived notions, and the unreasonable fear of being around a dog. It was almost magical the way our dog responded to him as soon as he entered. And in his unique calm and positive way, he showed us how to do the same. He helped us understand how to communicate with and connect to our new puppy. And within 4 quick sessions, suddenly, it was as if we’d always known what to do. Am thankful to Rajiv for giving us this gift of understanding, that has allowed us to experience the joys of having a dog. Honestly cannot imagine our family without Arlo now! Would recommend every new pet owner to take the benefit of Rajiv’s sessions.

I adopted two fearful, aggressive Jack Russells. I was going to have to give them back because they had deep fear issues—to the point of attacking each other once we stepped outside the apartment—until I got the chance to meet Rajiv. If you saw my dogs today, you wouldn't believe they were the same dogs.

At the beginning, I didn't understand—or believe—that their behaviour was a reflection of my energy until I experienced it. It's worth experiencing, and you don't need a dog with bad behaviour to see it. My dogs react positively to calm and patient energy from anybody. I've seen it with my own eyes.

We adopted our dog Shadow, a very hyper Siberian Husky, when I was 4 months pregnant. After a few nights with him I was completely convinced that we couldn't keep him! From jumping onto our bed and onto my belly, to chewing up our carpet and sofa - how could I manage taking care of him, the house, and the baby to come? After a lot of tears (from me, of course) we started looking for other homes and we even considered flying him overseas to somewhere more suitable for his temperament and energy. But my husband was determined to try.

Now, six months later and a newborn in my arms we're looking at a totally different dog. Rajiv came into our house and changed our attitudes completely. He trained us more than Shadow and that's what we really needed. He taught us how to be calm, cool, and collected in situations that would drive any normal person crazy.

Rajiv - thank you for the walk training, the crate training, the treadmill training, the behaviour training; the list is endless. Most of all, thank you for always responding to our frequent messages about Shadow's doings of the day! Our home is a peaceful place because of you.

Rajiv Saini is an amazing trainer. He was the only trainer who was willing and able to help rehabilitate my rescue dog Skyla who had serious fear and anxiety issues from being beated as a puppy. She would bark nonstop at my friends who would come over to visit and try and run and hide if someone approached her, panic wee when she saw a lead or a stranger and would refuse to leave the safety net of home and go for a walk and constantly shake in fear if we did leave the house. In only 3 sessions he managed to get her to relax and I was able to have people visit and eventually was able to have BBQ with between 10 and 20 people and she was calm and not stressed at all. she now loves her walks and Rajiv also kindly helped prepare her for our big move over to Ireland and was the only one who managed to get her to relax in her crate. She would definitely not be the same happy dog if it were not for Rajiv

Our lives made a U-turn after Rajiv came to help us with our 3 year old Vizsla. Even though our training is still ongoing (two session completed) we can safely say we are on the way to being a balanced household.

Rajiv brought with him a calmness that no one can explain, Lilly has never been this calm and respectful towards us - truly amazing to see.

He explained that Lilly is a timid dog, which creates anxiety and results into her being hyper and jumpy and explained the behaviour we have seen. Therefore we need to work on making her understand (in a nice way) her place in the house. That we are on top and she needs to respect us. This will help her feel more calm and safe. We also worked on her food obsession that started once our son started on solids.

Now Dylan (our 13month old) literally throws food at her and she just stays there like nothing happened! She even walks past it, and if told no, she leaves and goes to lie down. Not worried about it at all even forgets about it. Before, this was not possible, she used to move at lightning speed and gobble the dropped food up.

If I give her the command to leave and to go lie down she does it without even blinking. To the extent that she falls asleep, totally relaxed and at peace.

We will carry on working with Rajiv for a few more sessions sure we will then see a totally relaxed, happy balanced Vizsla.

I need to work on trusting her around Dylan again. Have been working on this as well, as she will sense my fear (which is not good). Rome was not built in one day.

I was worried initially that Lilly would feel out of sorts with all the new rules, but nope she seems to be a happier dog knowing what we want and waiting for us to give the next command J. She even stays off the BED!

Also amazing to see that she does not run to the front door barking when the door bell rings! Seems way too relaxed for that.

Thank you so much we owe you!

2 years later ....

So great to see Rajiv, u saved us and Lilly, we have a little girl now as well and Lilly and Willow are best friends. Thank you so much, if u did not come to our rescue Lilly would have been re-homed. Tx so ABVC for the recommendation we are for ever grateful. It has been almost 2 years now and she is so gentle with the kids. Lots of love all of us xox oh and we have a tortoise and fish now as well ;)

I have a rescue Saluki who suffers with anxiety and has a fear of humans and the outside world. It came to the point where I was beginning to dread taking her for a walk because it resulted in me dragging her out of the house and being pulled all the way back home! I could not approach anyone outside the house with her and she would cower away constantly.

A friend of mine referred me to Rajiv and advised that I let him know the problems I am facing. Rajiv entered our home on Friday morning and in 2 hours turned our lives around! Not only the behaviour of the dog, but the calmness and peace of our home.

Just on the first session I was able to take Indie out on a walk , she walked by my side and when we approached strangers she was able to stay in a calm state and allow them to stroke her!

Saturday morning came and I had been on a couple of successful walks with Indie the night before. Rajiv arrived at our home again; this time he was able to approach Indie while she sat/lay. I was also able to keep her under complete control and calmness while she sat by my foot, as Rajiv approached her. The progress we have made in just two days is beyond words.

Rajiv has taught me how to find calm within myself and to be able to influence this behaviour on my dog. Indie and I now have a few more sessions with Rajiv which we are very much looking forward to and we are looking ahead at a peaceful, enjoyable life!

Thank You Rajiv!

Adopting a dog was the most wonderful undertaking, but little did we know it would also be the most difficult. After about 6 months in, our pup started showing signs of reactivity, and later aggression on walks with other dogs and then also towards people. This behaviour came and went until there were no more good days and only bad - no matter what we tried, and we tried everything. We reached the lowest of lows. Rajiv literally changed our lives, and therefore our dog's life too. We learned to be better humans, to understand our dog better and can finally see the positive effects - a happy home and a more relaxed and happy dog. No words can describe the gratitude we have for Rajiv and his impact, and for everything he has taught us on all levels. I couldn't recommend him more.

Buying a dog was a very difficult experience for me because my mother was very afraid and it took a lot of persuasion to get one. Due to this, when I finally bought Simba, it was a combination of over-excitement and obsession when, I later found out, I was not treating my pet in the best possible way.

After a few intense training sessions with Rajiv, I later realized my mistakes. However, the more astonishing part was that not only did the way I treat Simba change, and those of course showed clear results; but the way I treated those around me also changed. Soon enough, almost everyone was telling me how much I've changed: for the better, since the past 4-6 weeks. Today, I can honestly say I feel more calm, composed, forgiving, open-minded and most importantly: happy.

Rajiv didn't really train Simba. At the end of the day, he's a dog and will behave like a dog no matter how hard anyone tries. He trained me to better understand Simba and to make it easier for me to alter his behaviors. So, thank you Rajiv!

Our experience with Rajiv was truly life changing. His sessions are really about understanding your dogs psychology and how to deal with certain issues, which is a little less training and a bigger focus on the core issues of our dog Lexy. She was a very timid and anxious dog, which later began to turn into aggression. She nipped a close relative to the face (that she's met multiple times), and that was the biggest wake up call to seek for help. It was almost impossible to have guests over without putting her in a separate room, or even have the doorbell ring without having the house turn into complete chaos. She felt intimidated by anyone who did not live in our house and of course, this was extremely harmful especially for Lexy mentally. What was even worse was that her behavior started to rub off on our new puppy Stella (that is actually very friendly). Little did we know that we were actually feeding this kind of behavior due to many factors. Rajiv made us understand where we were going wrong, and how dogs understand certain things that we do.

It's difficult to explain how this actually works, you would have to experience a session to really understand. Rajiv has an extremely positive energy that really calms things down and puts you and your dog at ease.

He had a breakthrough with my mom about her grief over our first dog that passed away before we had Lexy. We noticed that although many years have passed since she died, we were subconsciously doing many things that were only encouraging Lexy's negative behavior (being overly affectionate/ caring/protective), and letting all that out really helped my mom overcome it. I strongly advise Rajiv's sessions to anyone that is struggling with a timid, anxious, or aggressive dog, or even to someone who is still grieving over the loss of a pet.

In just a little over 4 weeks, my dogs have shown so much improvement, especially Lexy. It wasn't only a learning experience for our dogs, but for our whole family. I have to say that this can only work if it is a collective approach- everyone in the household needs to be fully involved and equally committed. The improvement is seen based on your efforts and how consistent you are with what he teaches you. Overall this was such a rewarding experience and my family and I cannot thank you enough!!!😊😊😊

Working with Rajiv was an amazing experience. We adopted 2 year old Petra (Saluki/GSD cross) 3 month ago and without Rajiv's insight, support and amazing presence, I do not believe we would have lasted this long. Most of us were very apprehensive taking any dog on let alone a GSD at 2 years however, it has been an lightening and rewarding experience we would never forego again. Rajiv simply has, a gift with dogs. He taught us how to manage Petra with minimum fuss. As someone who was literally petrified from dogs, allergic to them and not overly keen on such a breed or age, I was most hesitant to take on Petra, but with Rajiv's support, it was easy, rewarding and straightforward. I would highly recommend any dog owner to hire Rajiv as he WILL make a difference.

We can't thank Rajiv enough for turning a very difficult situation around for us and our dear dog Pancho. We adopted a very complicated rescue dog, a Collie mix from K9. Pancho is very loving and is most comfortable being at home. We realized he was very scared to venture beyond the house gates for intense fear of Vehicles, any noise, headlights etc. It was impossible to take him out for a walk. Treats would not do the trick either. Eventually going out into the compound became less and less frequent too. Pancho was gaining weight, getting aggressive at home and our efforts were leading us nowhere.

I then googled Dog Behaviourist and Rajiv's name came up. Rajiv trained us both, verbally and visually, equipped us with the strength of mind and knowledge to enable us to take Pancho for his much needed walks. Rajiv armed us with the technique and knowledge of how to handle his rigid hesitation and fear. Rajiv also taught us how to behave with our dog and understand him better.

When we took Pancho out for the first time, it was the most beautiful feeling ever. In short, Rajiv is the go to Trainer/ Behaviourist, if you ever have any concerns about your dog's state of mind/ conduct/ behaviour. From our perspective he achieved the Impossible. Thank you Rajiv.

We contacted Rajiv after desperately searching for a trainer/behaviourist in Dubai for our 2.5 year old Pomeranian Bambi. We have just completed a training package of 4 sessions and we are honestly in awe at the progress in Bambi over the last 4 weeks. From what we believed to be our reactive, out of control and untrainable dog (after countless trainers back in the UK, failed google/YouTube training methods etc and a lot of frustration) we quickly learned how to fully understand our dog and most importantly why she behaves the way she behaves. Then the breakthrough of realising that what we initially thought was helping her and making her happy was in fact enabling her behaviour. Such a big wake up call for us, we had to make changes in our “loving” behaviour towards her, and become the leaders to help make her journey easier. Now seeing how she is after the last 4 weeks makes our hearts melt, she can finally relax in situations where she once reacted in the form of barking, lunging, and not listening to any commands. Seeing her relaxed and at peace is honestly the best form of love we can share with her. We are still on a journey with Bambi and will remain consistent with all the invaluable techniques Rajiv has taught us. We cannot be more thankful to have found Rajiv. If you are worried at all with your dog’s behaviour even if you think they cannot be fixed, trust me when you start this process you and your dog’s lives will be changed for the better.

We adopted a very anxious rescue dog a few weeks ago. When she reached us she was traumatized, unnutered and already older than a year. She refused to go for walks and the built up energy and frustration meant that we lost furniture and shoes in the process. Only 4 sessions (in 3 weeks) with Rajiv and we were trained, and could help our pup get over her mental obstacles. She is a different dog now, relaxed, curious and so loving. Can not recommend Rajiv and his approach more!

I can't recommend Nikkie's World enough. We recently adopted a small breed dog who was very aggressive towards strangers on the street as well as guests in our home (growling, barking, biting etc.) After just a few training sessions, I feel like we have a different dog. No more barking at noises in the hallway or lunging at passersby on the street. We were even able to host my mother-in-law for her holiday without issue. We're very grateful to Rajiv for everything he taught us.

Rajiv is amazing! I adopted a dog who was very nervous and shy around new people. He would bark and hide when there was someone new in the house. He also refused to walk on a leash. After just a few sessions with Rajiv he is a new dog. No more barking and I take him on walks every day now. All of our friends have been saying they can’t believe it’s the same dog! Thank you so much for all of you help Rajiv, we are so greatfull.

Our 5 year old British Bulldog had become aggressive to anybody visiting the house. I called Rajiv and he worked his magic on Rodney (and us).Taught us how to treat our dogs like dogs and therefore changed the dynamics of our house and lives, I can invite people to the house again without worry. We have 3 dogs, with us the humans as pack leader now. Rodney barked and growled and attempted to bite Rajiv to start with and by the last 2 visit he was a changed dog. Backing up to Rajiv to be fussed, AMAZING. We can not thank Rajiv enough and would highly recommend him if you have any doggie concerns. Big big Thank You Rajiv.

Bella is an 18 months mixed breed (desert Husky). She is a beautiful but timid girl with a lot of uncertainties coming from a turbulent start. When I adopted her, we suffered in a lot of aspects to overcome her fears and her shy dominance also. We struggled in our walks when there were cars, trucks or other loud sounds in the neighborhood. I was not able to leave her in the apartment alone when I go to work so we spent months going to daycare every single morning!! She used to drive me crazy marking everywhere and not taking orders.... That was the past because after the sessions with Rajiv, we both changed... Bella became a happier dog and I became a happier pack leader :) I can say that those sessions not only changed my understanding of the dogs' world but also changed our life. I have a very well trained and behaved girl now because I became a very well trained mom :) and for that I can't thank Rajiv enough!!!

I called Rajeev out of desperation I have owned a dog for two years and used the expensive services of two different dog trainers to try and manage my super hyper moody insecure dog with no success

The minute Rajeev was in contact with Oscar there was already a surprising chemistry between them Oscar was always barking and threatening when he saw new faces we couldn't keep him around when we had guests and I was afraid this training will be a waist like the others But instead Rajeev understood exactly how to explain and make us deal with our dog Now we can say that we have a much better understanding of our dogs behavior and we know all the tricks on how to deal with him when he is difficult.

It is a complete positive change and we are extremely happy with the results We really recommend Rajeev to anyone facing the same issues he is a very good dog behaviorist and therapist.

I would like to thank Rajiv for the help he gave us with our beloved Jack, 8y Jack russell who had anxiety separation issues. We were very stressed and immediately when we met Rajiv we knew we made the right decision. He showed us how we have pushed our dog to have such a behavior. Now Jack is doing better but we know we have to continue working with him. One of the biggest discovery was the use of the crate to make my dog feel more secure. I thought it was cruel to use a crate as I thought he would be restricted in his movement. But with Rajiv, we set it up and immediately Jack went to sleep in the crate so deeply that I felt bad. For so many years I deprived him from something which made him feel secure. One big learning for me. Dogs are not human even if they are part of our family. They have their own code of conduct that we need to understand. Thank you Rajiv for your dedication to all the animals but specially to our Jack.

We contacted Rajiv after trailing another dog trainer with which we weren’t able to achieve the desired results. We had been facing some aggression issues with our dog which only seemed to be getting worse, no matter how hard we tried to fix the issue. On our first meeting with Rajiv it was clear that he is an expert in his field. In his first encounter with our dog (who does not take to new people) was amazing to see. He was quickly able to assert his dominance and we saw our dogs behavior change instantly as a result. Our journey with fixing her behavior didn’t happen over night but I can now happily say that we have seen massive improvements in the past couple of weeks. The relief is immense and for that we will always be eternally greatful for Rajiv’s help. He was able to help us understand how we had to change our behavior for our dog and took us down quite a learning journey in the process. I would highly recommend Rajiv to anyone facing a similar issue. You will not regret tapping into his immense expertise.

This review comes a little late in the day, but it's still very relevant. Rajiv helped me and my dog Poppy (a 5-year-old rescue dog) immensely before we moved from Dubai to Sydney. Rajiv has a very calm demeanour and he loves dogs. In our first session it became very apparent to me that more than Poppy, I needed training in handling her. Rajiv taught me how to be in a calm state of mind while walking Poppy, as she is a reactive dog, this came in very handy. I used to earlier avoid walking Poppy because she used to lunge at other dogs and bark a lot, using techniques taught by Rajiv I am now able to be in control of the walk and Poppy. She is less reactive now, I can read dog's body language better which helps me predict Poppy's reaction and then correct her accordingly. Today, I am much more confident about handling Poppy on her walks and socialization with other dogs and actually look forward to taking her on her daily walks. Now Poppy socializes with other dogs well, is a lot less reactive and is comfortable around dogs in an off leash dog park. A big thank you to Rajiv for helping both of us out. I would recommend him strongly!

Rajiv has been a revelation for our family. We adopted two dogs - the first is a Maltese / Yorkie mix with a very sweet temperament. Rajiv has taught us how to recognize his behaviours and anticipate any acting out, in particular barking at the door. Our second dog is a Yorkie / unknown mix. He has a much more serious issue. We believe he was previously abused, and although he is amazing 90% of the time, he has major food aggression and dominance issues with certain people. He has bitten almost everyone in the family at some point, and we have been working around him for some time. We now have a baby on the way so when we were refered to Rajiv we thought why not give him a try. One of the best decisions we have ever made. Rajiv has opened our eyes to what we have been doing wrong, and as we are improving our own behaviours we are seeing incredible results. Most of all, Rajiv really cares about helping not only the dogs but us too, and we couldn't have been happier. Highly highly highly recommended to anyone with a dog.

Outstanding dog trainer. Highly recommended. I had four sessions with Rajiv so far with my 5 month old cocker spaniel. I was looking for some guidance as a complete newbie to having a dog. Rajiv has a great personality and teaches the dog and more importantly , the owner, how to behave -a firm but kind way! He is an amazing dog trainer. You can tell he absolutely loves his job and the dog enjoys the training. Rajiv took the time to listen and study me and the dog and teach me the best training methods. Rajiv also helped me a great deal with my allergy. I was incredibly allergic to the pup to the extent that I was considering giving him up. Rajiv taught me how to be patient and clear any concerns I had about having a dog in my home. The allergy soon subsided. I’m so fortunate to have started my dog journey with Rajiv, giving me the necessary skills for a happy and well trained pup. Without hesitation I would recommend Rajiv!

We have just recently finished our sessions with Rajiv. To sum them up in a few words, they were eye-opening, mind-blowing, and truly educational. We have had our Bichon for almost 7 years. She has relocated around the world with us two times. Over the last couple of months, we have had a few changes in our family (a new baby and moving houses/countries/continents) that might have impacted our doggie's routine and habits. Her behaviour changed and she also developed a serious skin condition, which was not getting better.

We researched online and came across Rajiv's name and website. He had come highly recommended, his reviews were great, and we decided to give it a go. Rajiv really helped us better understand our Bichon's behaviour, how to read her cues, what tools and techniques to use, and how to change our behaviour and approach in order to be able to help her. The changes over the last few weeks have been amazing. We are still learning every day, as we go along, but the results during and since Rajiv's sessions have been incredible. Our doggie is much more settled in the new house and family routine and her skin condition has dramatically improved. We are so relieved and grateful to Rajiv for his help. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and kind. He really helped our family.

Sharing our experience.

We have had the most amazing experience with Rajiv during the sessions (3 in total). Our timid dog Toffee was becoming territorial so much so that she nipped the cleaner one day. Approaching Rajiv was the best thing we did. He has shown us how it's not Toffee but us unknowingly encouraging her behaviour. Right from the time he stepped into our house we have learnt-I must say not just learnt to handle our dog but learnt lessons in life to calm ourselves.

With 3 sessions complete we have already started to notice a change in Toffee. He made us see how allowing a timid dog to lead was creating the problems with her.

We really appreciate the way he handles the situation and patiently corrects the dog and the owners. His insistence to have the whole family involved just shows his strong ethics. He patiently stayed downstairs waiting for me to return from work even though he drove all the way from Dubai to Ras al Khaimah so that all of us were present during the sessions. We duly respect his work and him as a person. He has shown us a path and helped us build faith that we can nurture a great relationship with our dog by looking from the dog's point of view (we had tried many things and suggestions and nothing seemed to work). We are amazed at how he has taught us to set the boundaries for Toffee without any force or anger, yet discipline her when needed.

Thank you Rajiv. Keep up the wonderful work you are doing.

Rajiv's training was honestly life changing for us as dog owners. We had been having some ongoing issues with our lovable, rambunctious furry friend and we brought these concerns up with Rajiv.

From the first time Rajiv visited our home, I could tell he had a special gift to interact with dogs. Our dog was instantly mesmerized and Rajiv knew how to keep his focus and display the right kind of energy. We immediately wanted to learn his secret. Rajiv spent his sessions with us teaching US how to manage our own psychology.

This is a stark difference to what other dog trainers do. We have done other dog training sessions with our good boy, but all have failed. He does extremely well when there are treats involved, but the behavior does not continue outside of that. Rajiv's method is all about understanding the dog's thinking, coming to terms with our own thoughts about our relationship with our dog, and using these learnings to turn ourselves into the "pack leader" and ultimately be the source of guidance and leadership that our dog needs.

The training was mentally challenging and we had to really focus on retraining our mindset in order to be successful dog parents. At the end of our sessions, we had a good understanding of how to behave in all aspects of our pup's life.

I learned a lot from Rajiv and the teachings surprisingly apply to other parts of my life, not just as a dog parent! I am ever grateful to his teachings and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone and I will be consulting with him in the future!

Our family had adopted a beautiful 10 month old golden retriever - Jack - 4 weeks ago.. on his first day he was quiet.. sat in one place and to our amazement was toilet trained .. we were really thrilled and relaxed.. this went on for 2 days but on day 3 we experienced a change in Jack's behavior.. of course being a puppy we was excited and full of energy but that slowly was leading to a somewhat aggressive behavior and my son was getting scared of being near him.. we had to leash him when we weren't around.. there clearly was no connection between my son and jack..These were clear indicators that Jack had to go through some training sessions .. I was browsing through the internet and came across Rajiv's website and based on all the great and positive feedback received from a lot of pet owners decided to speak to him and ask for his support with Jack.

Rajiv's methods are clearly not the traditional 'sit, stand, stay' ones but it's a journey he takes the owners through to understand how dogs think and respond to certain behaviors and the environment .. to be honest it's more about educating us about a dog's world ..

It's been 3 weeks and we are amazed at how Jack has calmed down and most of all has connected with our son as well.. the two are inseparable now..

We couldn't thank Rajiv enough of all the support and guidance he has provided our family in the last 3 weeks and would definitely recommend him to all who want to understand their pet and not train them😊😊

Our dog is like a different dog. Rajiv helped us to understand her & why she behaves this way. From reactive & unfixable. She’s calmer and listens now. It feels like a miracle. Forever grateful.

We were so overwhealmed with our dogs behavior. We could not have people come to the house without locking him away. Rajiv is a miracle worker. We have a completely different dog now. Rajiv gave us the tools we needed to take our house back and our dog Buzz is a happier dog. We cannot recommend him enough! Thank you Rajiv, we and our dogs could not be more grateful!

Rajiv has taught me things beyond just understanding my dog’s behavior. I have come out of this a better dog owner, and with a better understanding of who I am as a person. I have learned some valuable life lessons that I will apply to other aspects of my life. I would highly recommend his services to anyone - You will gain much more thank you think! and As strange as it sounds, this has been a very spiritual & grounding experience for me! Thank you Rajiv

Wow! what a mind opening experience! We found Rajiv as our little Doxie was starting to suffer with separation anxiety plus we couldn't have anyone over with his barking out of control. From day 1 Rajiv changed our perspective on our relationship with our Frankie and thanks to him both us and Frankie are much happier and we now have a fantastic relationship...plus we are now very social again! it was more teaching us how to change our mindset than training for the dog. Highly recommend Rajiv to anyone! thank you!

Our experience with Rajiv was extremely positive since he helped us changing our desert dog behaviour. Before meeting him, she was very leash-reactive and made walking on the street a complete nightmare because she would show aggressiveness towards any dog, and some people, motorbike, car, bicycle, cat, etc. Thanks to Rajiv, we can now handle her much better and her tolerance towards all those things has definitely increased. He also helped us to change our mentality regarding how to treat our dog and to have a positive outcome in the overall. We definitely recommend him to anybody who is struggling with their dogs!

We just finished the sessions with Rajiv and it was mind blowing. He helped my girls to interact with our new puppy in a respectful way and with an understanding of the puppies behavior. Like my daughter said: it is a human training instead of only a dog training. His way of working with our dog was very natural and I learned a lot of new insights. During the training there were a lot of eye openers about being 'mindful' and how your dog is responding to your own energy. Thank you Rajiv you are a great person and a beautiful life coach. You made such a difference.

Working with Rajiv has been a transformative experience—not just for my dog, but for me. He’s not your typical trainer who comes in with a checklist of do’s and don’ts. Instead, Rajiv gets to the heart of the canine way of being. He teaches you how to truly understand and communicate love in their language.

What I quickly realized is that these sessions are really more for the human than the dog. I had to unlearn a lot of what I thought I knew and open myself up to new ways of thinking and connecting. Rajiv brings so much insight, patience, and compassion into every session. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with him, and I’m grateful for everything he’s helped us uncover.

Rajiv came to help us with our rescued dog. It was a difficult mission for both our dog and ourselves as the owners. He helped us take over the grief of the loss of our previous beloved dog and give this new one a fair chance. He had an excellent knowledge about the animal’s world and he was always very patient and understanding towards our questions and anxieties. Many of his lessons were valuable for life too. I highly recommended him and I thank him very much for his dedication and support.

The less said about Rajiv the better. I hv 2 dogs with very different behavioral patterns. I was going bonkers trying to manage them. I have completed 4 sessions today and im very happy with the progress. I can't say he is a trainer, he is more of somebody who deepens the bond between you and your dog by simply making you understand your pet and their behaviour. His techniques have even helped me in my personal life control my anger and be more patient. A great guy and most of all he understands you and your pet. Would recommend him any day.

Thanks Rajeev.

After several dog “trainers “ we had sort of given hope until I read about Rajiv. Our dog Stella, was showing food aggression towards our other two dogs and us. He not only helped us with her but with our two other dogs. He showed us the dogs behavior is a reflection of its owners attitude and state of mind. He taught us how to read our dogs body languages and how they interact with each other. I highly recommend his work. We are now a much calmer house, owners and consequently dogs. Rajiv thank you for all the help. Soli, Stewart, Samantha, Stella and Diamond.

Big thanks to Rajiv!! Not only are we better able to understand our dog's behavior and improve it, but also dogs in general since I have a BIG fear. Working with Rajiv has given me the tools to overcome this, along with the confidence to take control when needed both at home and when out around other dogs, and no longer being the one controlled!!

I would highly recommend any dog owner (even the ones who THINK they know what's going on in their pets head) take these lessons because their's no owners manual with that cute puppy, and their pack minded world is not the one we live in or can easily understand which can often lead to frustration!!

Rajivs insights are great value and that is clearly the missing gap in our approach to having a healthy relation with our pet. Bheem being our first pet in Dubai, and my family never been exposed to having stayed with a dog in the past, it was a challenge to get them to adapt to the pet world. It has been 4 weeks since we started with Rajiv and my entire house has changed. Kids are so much more comfortable and fearless and so is my wife. Definitely recommend Rajivs sessions to anybody plannig to get a dog or has one Thank you Rajiv for all your help and guidance. We have learnt some very important life lessons as well.

Rajiv was a godsend for us and our dog Serah! We had no idea what the reason behind her behaviour was before he explained it to us. His methods and training is more of a mindset and lifestyle change not just a few commands or tricks. We don't even rely on commands anymore because our dog is so tuned to us that she instinctively follows our gestures and body language. Considering our dog was rescued from streets giving her a calm assertive leadership was the most critical factor in bringing around a change in her behaviour and Rajiv taught us exactly how to achieve that. We have seen a 360 degree change in our dog after his sessions and we would recommend him for anyone who is struggling with behavioral issues in their dog

We have a one and a half year old energetic Labradoodle - FiveStar and a 16 year old strongly alfa Maltese Terrier -Casper. We needed to learn to clam down FiveStar and to handle our little (in size only) alfa dog Casper. Yes, after 15 years Casper still thinks he is our boss.

Rajiv came to our house like an angel. He helped my husband and I learn about how the dogs think and why they behave the way they do. It helped us in many levels. It helped us appreciate our dogs better and to understand them. We learnt to gainfully interact with them. It also helped us to grow our awareness as a person. Rajiv helped us see how the dogs live in the moment and are so pure that they make a good reflectors of our moods.

Thank you Rajiv and our good wishes for all your endeavours.

We wanted to build a mutually respectful relationship with our new German Shepherd puppy Kiko and fortunately came across Rajiv. Rajiv has shown us that through practice of composure by being aware of and managing our emotions we can model the behaviour of the female dog. We can lead our puppy and she can intuit the respect we command. Vice versa we have a puppy who is learning the boundaries, not through fear but with mutual respect. The playful fun we wanted to have with her is now coming as a by product of establishing these boundaries. To say we are happy with how Rajiv has come into our family like a Zen master falls short, he is great person and devoted with passion to educating dog owners to achieve a harmonious relationship with their dogs. We highly recommend Rajiv and not only will you learn about your dog you will get in touch with yourself . Thank you Rajiv.

One early morning, dark and cold,

A little soul has joined my world.

A dog, I'll cherish all my life

Who came to me with fear of life.

It seemed together we could overcome

All hurdles, fear - that made her numb.

But just like puzzle pieces missed

Her calmness seemed to fail exist.

Until the day I met the man

Who we will thank for all we can

He helped uncover all the darkle

And made the lights within us sparkle

That lost and missing puzzle piece

He brought with him and shared with ease

All tips, all guidances and tools

He made so clear with little rules

Today I stand with confidence and pride

With little soul Herby next to my side

Her tail is up and heart is beating calm

Our joyous journey has just started herefrom

I thank you Rajiv for all you have done

For Herby, for me, for your patience alone.

Thanks so much for the evolvement, the growth

And for the freedom you finally brought to us both!

We adopted two chihuahuas and one needed some basic training and the other one was so bad with other dogs and quite naughty. Rajiv taught us techniques and really trained us to understand dogs and the psychology behind why dogs act certain ways. It has helped so much and we now have these techniques in place. We had tried other trainers before but no one went into as much detail as Rajiv. He goes above and beyond by showing, explaining and sending videos so you also begin to notice different behaviour in dogs as well as the practical side by coming out on walks and applying the theory used. Honestly the best money we have ever spent as we can now enjoy the walks with our dogs. I would highly recommend Rajiv to anyone that is struggling with their dogs no matter how bad you think the problem is as Rajiv is so patient, really knowledgeable and highly experienced about dog and human psychology.

Thank you so much and we will keep you updated on our progress!

I called Rajiv for George, my one year old dog. George has been with me since I rescued him at around 8 weeks old. He has an amazing energetic temperament and made himself right at home amongst a family of four humans, three cats and another dog. Unfortunately things changed when I had him neutered at 11 months old. Progressively as the weeks went on, I noticed a deep set fear take over, every time we went out on walks. Anything would set him off, such as a person walking a baby in a pram, a person on a bicycle, small children playing, etc. He became fixated on this and displayed real nervous energy and unwillingness to be there, trying everything to get away from the situation. For me of course it was heartbreaking! Rajiv is an amazing human being with an incredible understanding of dogs and how to communicate with them through energy. In just four weeks, he turned mine and George's life around. He helped me to understand how to take charge and become the pack leader, not going into this feeling of heartbreak and sadness every time we went out on walks, but to be calm and assertive. I can highly recommend Rajiv for any dog lover having any type of issue, he is an absolute gem of a human being!

I grew with pets in India since I was 2 years old and lucky to be with pet lovers around. Multiple dogs and cats in my bed and also fish pond and turtle around the corner. It was natural to miss a dog when I shifted to Dubai 6 years back. We adopted 3 months old puppy 'Peter' and have a feeling family is complete.

As Peter was growing we started experiencing he was growling at strangers and dogs specially when on leash, his protective nature towards food and trying to protect us from visitors.

It was a learning as I never experienced the behavior before. We were blank for a year how to resolve and one day we were introduced to Rajiv as a dog trainer.

Rajiv helped us to see the dogs world from natures prospective. It was evident to see how dogs react with our positive senses. Rajivs approach of 'no touch - no talk - no eye contact' had positive effects. Also I must agree with Rajivs experience dogs are more closer to the nature. One who needs to change is us and our negative senses.

Dogs wants us to be positive always. They sense our energies either positive or negative and react . So it's us to be blamed and not our dogs !!

Thanks Rajiv again for introducing us to a new world !!

From the moment I was given Rajiv Saini's business card I was told "He has been trained by Cesar Milan"! Intrigued, I googled him and I was very excited to be about to call someone who had been trained by none other than "The Dog Whisperer"...

However, once I started speaking to Rajiv, I realised that his passion for helping people have a great relationship with their dogs was much more important to him than anything else...he did not even once mention to me over our conversation about his background. This humble attitude was what marked me the most.

During our first session, Rajiv was able to give me the foundations of what I needed to feel confident as a new puppy owner. He spoke about concepts that were so basic and so profound and effective at the same time. He involved my children who were also able to understand and connect with what he was aiming to teach us.

I could go on and on in detail about the impressive knowledge and skills which Rajiv Saini has to offer and share...however, it is enough to say that his training methods are so powerful and his way of connecting with me as the owner was one of the most impressive experiences I have had in a long time.

Thanks to Rajiv I feel confident, happy and I am able to already enjoy my puppy without feeling overwhelmed at the task at hand!

My wife and me had adopted a 4month old puppy (desert mix). She had no understanding of any form of communication when we bought her and no training at all. We had to start from scratch. Since both my wife and me are working professional we were struggling in the initial phase to keep up with her. So we decided to get a trainer and while doing my research I came across Being K9's profile. The term 'behaviourist' caught my attention and I decided to connect with Rajiv. It turned out to be the best experience of ours. Rajiv gave us a perception and understanding which most of us are lacking when it comes to understanding our dogs. In a way, he not only assist in training your dog but lays out a blueprint for an everlasting communication between you and your dog without much of verbal interaction. He makes you understand and connect with your dog in ways which makes your dog reciprocate to you clearly. He makes you realise that interaction between you and your dog is not a one way traffic rather it's a mutual relationship. He installs all these perceptions through his ever calm and composed demeanor. To add to this, he is always available for any kind of concern or any clarification you may have regarding your progress.

It was and still is a wonderful experience to be interacting with Rajiv and getting to know so much about our dog's world.
