Dog senses, puppy development and choosing the right leash tool
Sunny Luthra led a deep dive into how dogs perceive the world through touch, smell, sight and hearing, explaining the order in which a puppy's senses come online and why that matters for training. The session then moved into a practical comparison of collars, harnesses, slip leashes and haltis in terms of pressure versus movement, followed by live member cases including a reactive dog on a harness, a fearful Indie puppy, a skin infection, and a frustrated beagle that bit a family member. Sunny also outlined how trainees should take on real client cases, gather information, and manage expectations before diagnosing a dog.

Arousal vs Energy and Reactivity Triggers in Dogs
In this OhMyDog Pro peer-teaching call, Manya presented a deep dive into the difference between a dog's energy and its arousal, covering physical versus emotional arousal, Panksepp's engaging and protective emotional systems, the emotional sink analogy, and a real case study of a cocker spaniel with compulsive fly-snapping caused by chronic over-arousal. Yashika followed with a session on reactivity, drawing on her own experience with her Shih Tzu Tin Tin to explain common triggers like sound, people, movement and unmet basic needs, and how the six rituals, especially structured walks and leash work, help resolve it. Sunny Luthra moderated, answered member questions, and gave feedback encouraging both presenters to use mind maps and break dense topics into shorter, more structured sessions.</br>

Doberman reactivity case: why running beats training
This OhMyDog Pro call centres on a live case study of an anxious, reactive Doberman, with Sunny teaching members to read a dog's eyes and body language to find the true root cause rather than just the symptom. The group worked through why this athletic dog needed running rather than calming strategies or months of board and train, then covered practical techniques for running dogs on a bicycle or scooty and handling stray dog encounters. The second half covered member questions on stress related poop changes, urine licking behaviour, enrichment for a fearful resource-guarding dog, teaching a back up command, managing high play drive on walks, and a detailed discussion on protein, carbs and fish oil supplement toxicity affecting kidneys.

Reading dog and human energy: a biting Indie case study
The call opened with a member sharing how her dog's recurring UTIs were traced back to absorbing her husband's stress energy, leading into a discussion on how sensitive dogs absorb human emotions. Sunny then ran a live case study exercise about a three year old Indie who bites and attacks guests and other dogs on walks, guiding members to ask better diagnostic questions. The group learned that they were jumping to conclusions about the situation instead of first gathering information about the dog and the human as individual entities, and that the real root cause was the male owner's chronic tension being absorbed and reflected by the dog. The session closed with an explanation of Wim Hof breathing and meditation as tools to regulate human emotional baseline, which is what actually resolved the case, plus a preview of how to communicate this kind of feedback to clients.

Fear peeing, territorial marking, and the case for structured walks
This OhMyDog Pro call worked through several live member cases: a dog urinating out of fear around a dog walker, a Shih Tzu marking territory, a puppy who submissively urinates with guests, and a multi-dog household with severe separation anxiety. Sunny Luthra used each case to teach diagnostic questioning, the difference between play and structured exercise, leash tool choice, and how a home's collective energy shows up in a dog's behaviour. The call closed with questions on leash tools versus a calf's energy, a dog's humping linked to a human's lack of boundaries, and puppy potty training for young Maltese dogs.

The Six Rituals of Dogs: walk, discipline, socialising, feeding, affection, play
Sunny Luthra explains how the Rituals of Dogs framework emerged from thousands of free consultations and how it is used to diagnose and fix almost any dog behaviour issue. He breaks down each of the six rituals, walk, discipline, socialising, feeding, affection and play, showing how mistakes in each create anxiety, territorial behaviour, hyperactivity or aggression. He then shifts to career advice, telling members how to gain experience through volunteering, build a client network, and use Instagram to get attention as a professional.

Diagnosing a Shih Tzu's barking: data gathering and the play ritual
The call opened with a quick consult on a dog passing yellow, fat-laden stools, where Sunny explained that undigested fat (not worms) was the cause and fat had to be cut from the diet. The main session was a case-study exercise where members practiced diagnosing a Shih Tzu that barked continuously at her human, using a structured data-gathering framework built around the six rituals (walk, socialising, discipline, play, affection, feeding). Sunny showed how the group jumped to labels like attention-seeking or demand barking too quickly, and walked them through reading the barking and timing as clues, revealing that the real issue was insufficient and badly timed play for a young, high-drive dog. The call closed with breed history on Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso instincts and housekeeping on the new call schedule and pending evaluations.

Kidney stones, hill dogs, bear encounters and inherited instinct
This OhMyDog Pro call opened with Kashish describing her dog's suspected UTI and kidney stone symptoms, leading Sunny to prescribe kidney tests and explain how excess calcium and cholesterol cause stones and muscle tremors. A large part of the call covered Bhavna's move to Uttarakhand, where she is preparing her dogs Doodle and Gulab for a jungle environment with bears, leopards and working village dogs, prompting deep discussion on leash training, genetic memory and instinct versus learned behaviour, including the caterpillar-to-butterfly memory experiment. The group then discussed how breeding for work shapes mating-driven instinct, Ashita's questions on Singapore's debarking practice and how dogs process trauma differently from humans, and Manya's questions on puppies eating cat faeces, post-spay growling, and the risks of casually giving deworming and tick medicines like Bravecto and Simparica.
