Levels of Mind of a Dog

“To understand the various methods of dog training, it is important to comprehend the subject of the training. There are various levels of his or her being — its Body, Mind and the Life itself.”

Written for the ABVC blog: why a dog has to be met at the right level — body, mind, and the life beneath both — before any method makes sense of him.

In their words

What dog owners say about Rajiv

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!

I'm deeply impressed and inspired of Rajiv training style!!!

His calmness, his wisdom and the way of communicating as well as the wide knowledge about dogs and their psyche impressed me deeply as a psychologist. I have seen quick results and learning success of our puppy within few minutes or hours - which was often magical!

For me, the best dog coach I've ever met. Definitely recommendable!

Kelly is blessed having a great start in her life thanks of you Rajiv!

Rajiv has taught us so much and his sessions are much more than training - I’m a big fan of the Dog Whisperer TV show, and was thrilled when I found out Rajiv had trained with Cesar. He is the Cesar Milan of the UAE with a true gift for his work- helping dogs and their owners to be happy.

Rajeev is the best dog trainer I have ever comes across. He is intelligent, understands the physocology between the dog parents and the dogs themselves.

He uses practical tips and tools and ensures that dog parents understands the importance of their own behavior before that of the dogs.

It has helped us immensely to improve the expected behavior of our 2 dogs and cannot thank him enough !

Amarjeet D.

Rajiv has an extra ordinary understanding with regards to behavior and mindsets of dogs. He understands and explains with patience the deeper underlying issues which are the result of what we witness.

My kids enjoyed the session with Rajiv and we developed a greater understanding about how to treat and respect animals along with training them correctly.

We recommend Rajiv very strongly to every new pet owner. You sure can do wonders with your relationship with your pet following Rajiv's advises.

Rajiv has a natural way with dogs, and their humans. We met him about 7 months ago and brought up our new puppy Rancho through his training methods. The training was comfortable, not rushed, and Rajiv took the time to answer any and all questions we ever had. Rajiv demonstrated extreme patience with Rancho , and mostly, the learning humans. We truly cannot recommend Rajiv enough! We tell everyone about him, his love for dogs, and the passion he has to make both humans and dogs successful. Leema & Ajith

Rajiv is absolutely incredible!!! We got an American Bully pup a month and a half ago. While I was delighted to have Kaia, I was quite nervous as well as I didn't understand her behavior at all. Rajiv has taught us so much about Kaia and myself. I can't recommend him enough. Truly a joy to meet him.

Alamira H.

Working with Rajeev changed our world! He not only helped us understand the psychology of our dog and how to help him become better for our family, but also how our own pre conceived notions needed change to bring out the best in our dog. Rajeev is a mentor who helps people and animals bring about change. I couldn’t recommend him more!

Maya S.

Rajeev is the ultimate dog whisperer. His method is based on teaching you the language of your dog. He teaches you how to gain connection, respect and trust of of your dog. As a first time dog owner, he brought me into my little puppy’s world and helped me understand him. It has been highly effective.I would highly recommend working with him.

Reem S.

Rajiv is amazing. His understanding of dogs goes way beyond what I was expecting - he opened my eyes as to how dogs think and his training is gentle, informative and a real eye opener. Our dog is a 1 year old Dachshund with no prior training and Our training sessions with Rajiv made a huge difference.

Adela S.

We had an awesome experience with Rajiv. He is highly skilled and really really understands dogs and their behaviours - and their owners too. More importantly he is a great guide and mentor. For first time pet parents like us, he was really insightful with his observations and recommendations. Would recommend him and his amazing services always. If you want a “dog-whisperer”, Rajiv is the man. And more…

Ayan M.

Rajiv Saini is an amazing guy. He taught me a lot how to be a pet parent, he is just too good. Can't recommend him enough.. He helped me to handle many behaviour related issues of my little one.

Himani B.

To be honest if you wanna know about animals Rajiv is your guy.he has such good understanding of animals that you have to see it yourself .I had two trainer before him and none of them are good as Rajiv

Arash Y.

We had a wonderful experience with Rajiv as a trainer for our Dog . He is very patient in answering all our queries/doubts etc . He is very knowledgeable and will make sure that he passes on that to you as well.

It was wonderful interacting with him about not just dogs but as well as human nature/behaviour etc.

Would surely recommend him to anyone who needs some help in learning how to deal with their K9 friend !

Siddharth

Rajiv is truly amazing at working with dogs and the owners! He's calm and assertive and will teach you how to understand your dog and communicate with them. Couldn't recommend him more!

Nina K.

Rajiv is highly knowledgeable and understands dog psychology. He was able to highlight key behavior changes that would be beneficial for our dog and for us. His intervention has made our life sooo much better! Thank you so much Rajiv! We highly recommend you!

Maribel L.

he is a magician, he can talk to dogs. one of a kind

Touline B.

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.

Darryl S.

You have not just helped me learn about Nature better, or Abi, but also about myself better. Your patience and understanding has got me going a long way with so much clarity and confidence, and a new understanding and appreciation about a whole new way of life!

You have been a great inspiration for me and thank you for the bond you created between me & Abi!

Vaishnavi

Rajiv is amazing! I would strongly recommend working with him whether you are having issues or not. There is a lot of value in learning how to communicate effectively and you will have a closer and happier bond with your dog.

Mahan R.

Rajiv is amazing! He helped us to change our mindset and our dogs have never been better!

Amber B.
