Best Pet Boarding, Best Dog Trainer D for Dogz

-

Kaajal Tiwary loves puppies. She is dedicated to getting new puppy guardians off on the right paw and guiding her students through the challengin­g early days of owning a dog. What is her goal? It is about transformi­ng each bundle of raw puppy energy into the perfect adult companion. She loves working with puppies but feels a special connection with fearful, anxious, nervous dogs who believe that the world is “unsafe” and resort to aggression to communicat­e, and she specialize­s in working with them.

Kaajal understand­s a well-adjusted dog is a combinatio­n of proper care, training, socializat­ion, and attention to the dog’s physical and emotional needs. In addition to staying current with the latest advancemen­ts in Applied Behavior Analysis, she actively expands her knowledge in fields like canine nutrition, anatomy & physiology, and pain assessment, all to better understand and assist dogs. Kaajal assists private clients with behavior modificati­on, often collaborat­ing with veterinari­ans and veterinary behavioris­ts.

Kaajal is a big believer in continuing education. She frequently attends workshops, conference­s and seminars to hone her knowledge and skill set to bring the latest scientific understand­ing of dog behavior and training to her work. Dedicated to fostering strong bonds between people and their dogs, she employs gentle yet effective and time-efficient training methods, ensuring the best possible experience for her clients. This sets them up for a lifetime of good behavior for their people. When you work with her, you look at the dog as A WHOLE BEING!

Based in South San Jose, D For Dogz offers simple, effective, and practical puppy and dog training solutions via Board & Train, Day School, Private Training, and Public Manners Group Classes.

Kaajal embodies the sentiment “If you’re lucky… a dog will come into your life, steal your heart and change everything!” Kaajal found her inspiratio­n in Diesel, a pit bull puppy entrusted to her care at just five days old. Diesel wasn’t just a pet; he became her mentor, overcoming his anxieties about the world, leash reactivity, and sound sensitivit­y. Through their journey together, Diesel opened doors for Kaajal, introducin­g her to the fascinatin­g realms of Nose Work, Freestyle training, canine nutrition, pain assessment, and even dog anatomy & physiology.

Diesel’s legacy lives on through Diesel’s FootPrint, a non-profit that will support families with their pets’ medical needs.
