Remember how a scrawny 15-year-old Hiccup struggled to train his night fury, Toothless, in How To Train Your Dragon? Well, training a new pup can be equally challenging, especially, if you happen to be a first-time pet parent in the pandemic.

The Pet Playdate will be organising a session featuring Tanya Patel, city-based dog behaviourist and trainer, who will guide pet parents about everything from deciding to get a pet, adopting or buying, choosing the right dog, precautions, setups required and training. Patel shares, "It is important to set a routine that you will follow even after the pandemic. Ensure the pup is trained to be on its own so once things start moving to normalcy and you step out for work or holidays, the pup doesn't struggle with separation."
