Start with the people it worked for.
You are probably here to work out whether this site can be trusted. Fair. So it goes in this order: dog parents you can watch and judge for yourself, then the person who writes it, then how a claim gets onto a page in the first place.
“Our walks were full of pulling and panic. Now, my dog walks beside me with calmness. I never thought that was possible.”

Who wrote this guide
Sunny Luthra is a dog behaviourist practising in Pune. Every guide on these shelves carries his name as its author, so there is one person to hold responsible for what you read. Not a veterinarian, and the site never pretends otherwise, a behaviourist reads what a dog is doing and why, and hands the clinical decisions to your vet with better questions than you walked in with.
The practice is instinct-led and science-backed, in that order: what the animal actually does comes first, and published research decides whether the explanation survives.

In his own words
How he got from his first dog to this practice, the whole story, told once, in one video.
My journey till now (becoming a dog behaviourist and more)
Where the method came from
In 2015 a dog called Webby arrived, and every training school on offer taught obedience rather than understanding. So the work started as observation instead: sessions with other dog parents from 2016, then a move to a quiet hill near Pune in 2019 to watch free-roaming dogs raise each other without commands, treats or leashes.
In 2020 Webby died of tick fever. That is why this site is built around prevention, food and gut health rather than around training, the illness that took him was the kind a parent can often see coming, if someone tells them what to look for.
How a claim gets onto a page here
Four steps, in this order, for every guide on the site.

Read this research entry- 01First, what the dog didEvery guide starts from observed behaviour, what the animal actually does, in a real house or on a real street, before any theory is put on top of it.
- 02Then, what the research recordsThat observation gets checked against published work. Where a study says something inconvenient, the study wins and the guide says so.
- 03Then, plain languageA blood report or a diagnosis gets rewritten so a worried person can act on it tonight, without a veterinary degree and without being frightened into it.
- 04And the page says which is whichInstinct and science are named separately on the page. You should always be able to tell whether you are reading an observation or a finding.
And three things you won’t get
- No fear-selling. Nothing here tells you what will happen to your dog if you don’t buy something.
- No dominance and correction. The guidance is aimed at changing the human first, which is slower and works.
- Nothing to buy on this page. You came here to decide whether to believe the site. An offer in the middle of that would be answering a different question.
That’s the case. The rest is the library.
202 entries, counted from the library itself rather than written down, so the number is never out of date. All of it free to read, no account, no email.
