Dog-human aggression

Dogs showing aggression towards humans or even their own families can feel frightening. However, even the most complex-seeming cases improve with games-based training.

Frequently asked questions

For years, Mayuri has helped guardians and professionals alike understand exactly why their dogs were behaving the way they were, regardless of how many trainers, veterinary behaviorists and medications the dog had been through before. Many families come to Mayuri as their second, third, fourth, last resort trainer and still find so much change in their dogs after they work with her, much of which has to do with the correct diagnoses of presenting issues and then a tried and tested framework that ensures that every next step is the best one for the dog.


Mayuri also grew up in India surrounded and fascinated by village dogs. She learned so much from making friends with them and learning to respect them for the intelligent animals they are. She brings 30 years of experience with free ranging dogs, several years of experience volunteering in shelters in the US and many years of experience helping solve complex behavioral challenges to every consult.

Mayuri is a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant and an accredited trainer with the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC) and continues to learn more about dogs every single day. In her professional life, she is also a dentist and biomedical engineer heading Clinical and Regulatory Affairs at a global medical device company. She brings a keen diagnostic mind from dentistry and a problem-solving approach from engineering. As someone who conducts clinical research on a daily basis, she dives deep into behavior science to bring the most important nuggets of information to transform your dog's behavior with simple games. 

Simply pick a day and time convenient to you on the calendar and answer all the questions. Consultations frequently run up to an hour as Mayuri gathers all the necessary information to give you a detailed diagnosis of the behavior issues your dog is presenting with and a solid approach to resolve them

All sessions are conducted over Zoom video conferencing enabling you to work with Mayuri no matter where you are in the world. Most programs run between 3-5 months of weekly or biweekly sessions depending on what your dog needs.

If you are looking for service dog training, you and your pup must live within 20 miles of the East Bay, California

While there is no exact or guaranteed timeline on which behavior changes occur, some guardians report changes anywhere from the first session to the first few weeks of training. Like people, dogs have their unique personalities and learning styles making it difficult to predict exact times. Most guardians start seeing some decrease in unwanted behavior within a few sessions.
