Whoever said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks can come see canine behaviourist Pradnya Hattiangadi in Dadar this weekend for a taste of humble pie. Hattiangadi, with the Shirin Dhabhar Institute of Canine Behaviour and Training, will organise a beginner’s session ‘Taal and Tails’ inspired by the globally popular Canine Freestyle dog sport.

Your dog might not be able to speak to you, but you can listen to it, Hattiangadi reminds us. During the session, participants will learn how to ace teamwork, communication, and connection to move in tandem with their pets. “You’ll leave the session with a deeper understanding of your pet,” she says.
