The two options
Both full
The same person behind both. A call answers one question in one sitting. A month of chat follows your dog over thirty days.
One call, thirty minutes
₹1,500one call, one household
Full · waitlist
A thirty-minute video call with Sunny on WhatsApp. Show him the dog and the setup on camera, since seeing it is faster than describing it. When a place opens, the team messages you to fix a time inside the hours.
What it includes
- A slot inside the hours, fixed within two working days of a place opening
- Thirty minutes on video, with your dog on camera if useful
- Photo and screen sharing for reports or clips
- A follow-up voice note afterwards if anything needs repeating
Choose this when
- A sudden change in behaviour you want explained
- One question you have had conflicting answers to
- A symptom or a vet report you want explained in plain language
A month of chat, thirty days
₹2,500thirty days, one household
Full · waitlist
A private WhatsApp thread with Sunny and the team for thirty days. Send what happens as it happens, and it is answered within the hours. Thirty days is long enough to see a pattern and to check whether a change is holding.
What it includes
- A private thread, answered between 10 AM and 3 PM IST
- Photos and video reviewed and answered
- Voice notes where they explain better than text
- The guides and cue cards relevant to your case
- Thirty days, enough to see whether a change holds
Choose this when
- A behaviour that will take weeks to change
- A routine you are rebuilding and want checked as you go
- A recovery or a diet change you want supervised
Why places are limited
10 AM - 3 PM IST
One behaviourist answers every call and every thread, between 10 AM and 3 PM IST. Taking on more households than those hours can hold would mean slower, thinner answers, so intake is capped and everyone else waits.

If you are not in India
Chat works from any timezone. Write whenever you like and replies come during the hours. A live call has to fall inside 10 AM to 3 PM IST, so tell us your city and we will find a time that works.
Who this is for
The six situations that most often bring people here. In most of them, the advice found online contradicted itself and nobody had looked at the specific dog.
First weeks with a dog
The routine you set in the first weeks shapes most of the behaviour that follows. Problems are cheapest to fix now.
A behaviour that has stopped being manageable
Reactivity, barking, guarding, or a dog who cannot settle, usually after a lot of contradictory advice online.
A household where everyone handles the dog differently
Two adults, one dog, two sets of rules. Many problems that look like training problems are only this.
More than one dog
When the trouble is between the dogs rather than in either one, and correcting one makes the other worse.
A health change you are trying to understand
Gut trouble, itching, or a blood report you cannot make sense of. Not a diagnosis: a plain-language explanation and the questions to take to your vet.
Nothing wrong, and you still want to do better
No emergency. You want to understand your dog better and get ahead of problems.
Who you will be talking to
Pune, India · since 2015
Sunny takes every call and reads every thread himself. A small team helps with scheduling. That is why places are limited.
Sunny Luthra is a dog behaviourist, practising since 2015 from Pune. He writes every breed, disease, health and behaviour record on this site. His approach starts with reading the dog and its instincts, checked against published behavioural science, rather than defaulting to obedience and correction.
He is not a veterinarian. Clinical decisions stay with your vet. A call or a thread is for the other half: what the behaviour means, and what the household should change.
“Dogs reflect our energy. When we balance ours. We heal theirs.”

Common questions
Answered before you message, so you know what you are signing up for.
Can I book a place today?
No. Personal support is full and nothing can be booked or paid for right now. No reopening date has been announced. When places open they go to the waitlist first, and joining it takes one message.
What is the difference between one call and a month of chat?
A call is thirty minutes of video for one focused question, at ₹1,500. A month of chat is a private WhatsApp thread for thirty days at ₹2,500, for something that needs following over weeks. Both are with the same person, inside the same hours.
Why is there a waitlist?
Because one behaviourist answers everything, within five hours a day. Taking on more households than those hours can hold would mean slower, thinner answers, and then paying for this would be pointless.
What are the hours?
Between 10 AM and 3 PM IST. Calls are scheduled inside that window. You can write to a chat thread at any hour; replies come during those hours.
Do I need to be in India?
No. Chat works from any timezone. A live call has to fall inside 10 AM to 3 PM IST, so tell us your city when you write and we will find a time that works.
Can you help with aggression, anxiety or reactivity?
Yes, that is most of the practice. The approach is instinct-led and checked against published behavioural science, and it focuses on what the humans in the house change rather than on correcting the dog.
Is this veterinary advice?
No. Sunny is a dog behaviourist, not a veterinarian. Health material is explained in plain language and turned into questions to ask your vet. Clinical decisions stay with them.
If I take a month of chat, am I locked in?
No. It runs month to month, with no commitment beyond the thirty days you paid for. Tell us before the next cycle and it ends.
Can I move from a call to a month of chat?
Yes, and it happens often. Once both are open again, a call taken earlier is credited against the month if you decide during it that the case needs longer.
What happens after I message?
You are added to the waitlist and get a reply confirming it. When places open, the waitlist is told first, before the site or Instagram.
