India’s pet industry has outgrown its old image of basic pet care. Today, we are seeing the rise of working breeds in households, the demand for structured training, and an increasing awareness of canine behavior science. Yet, beneath this rapid growth lies a challenge that affects the entire ecosystem — the shortage of professionally trained, scientifically equipped dog trainers.

At Progressive Canines, we work with hundreds of dogs every year — from household pets to high-drive working breeds and PSA competition dogs. What we observe daily is clear:

India is full of passionate dog lovers… but the country still lacks professionally trained dog handlers, decoys, behavior specialists, and trainers who can meet modern behavioral demands.

This gap doesn’t just affect pet parents.
It affects groomers, boarding centers, veterinarians, pet brands, trainers, dog walkers, and every business connected to the pet ecosystem.

And that is exactly why structured canine education is no longer optional — it is the backbone of a sustainable, future-ready pet industry.

Where the Industry Is Struggling

Most aspiring trainers in India begin with enthusiasm but very few have access to:

• A scientific understanding of canine behavior
  • Proper foundations in operant conditioning and engagement
  • Hands-on exposure to high-drive working dogs
  • Structured mentorship
  • Real-world aggression case handling
  • Decoy work or protection sport foundations
  • Business and communication training

This leads to inconsistent service quality, unsafe training practices, and behavioral issues that escalate over time.

India doesn’t need more “dog lovers.”
India needs skilled canine professionals.

Why DTAC Was Created — and Why It Matters

The Dog Training as a Career (DTAC) at Progressive Canines was built to solve this national gap.
Designed by Chandra Shekar Mantravadi — Internationally Certified PSA Decoy & Canine Behavior Specialist, the program focuses on global-standard education that India has been missing.

What Makes DTAC Different?

1. Science-Based Learning
   Not tricks. Not shortcuts. But real learning theory, behavior science, and structured engagement principles.
2. Real Working-Dog Exposure
   Students work with high-drive breeds, PSA decoy scenarios, aggression rehabilitation cases, and real-world challenges.
3. Mentorship Under Certified Experts
   A rare opportunity to learn directly from India’s leading PSA decoy and behavior specialist.
4. Career Development Built In
   The course teaches not just training skills but also case handling, communication, client management, and business building.
5. Industry-Wide Impact
   Graduates become valuable assets for boarding centers, training schools, pet businesses, service-dog programs, and canine sports clubs.

Why Structured Canine Education Will Change India

When India produces world-class trainers, the impact is massive:

• Behavioral issues reduce dramatically
  • Dog safety standards improve
  • Working breeds get appropriate guidance
  • Pet parents trust the industry more
  • Businesses grow with skilled professionals
  • India becomes a global contributor to canine sports and behavior science

We have already seen this shift at Progressive Canines—where structured engagement, clarity, and science-backed training have transformed the way pet parents understand their dogs.

A Global Industry Needs Global-Standard Trainers

Internationally, dog training is a respected profession backed by certifications, sports titles, behavior science credentials, and structured schooling.

India is ready to join that ecosystem.

But first, we must build trainers who can:

• Understand complex behavior
  • Work safely with aggression
  • Train working dogs with clarity
  • Communicate professionally
  • Follow ethical training frameworks
  • Represent India in global sport platforms like PSA

This is the movement Progressive Canines aims to lead — through DTAC, PSA events, international collaborations, and structured trainer development.

The Future Begins With Those Who Choose to Learn

If India wants a safer, more professional, and globally recognized pet industry…
it starts with education.

It starts with trainers.

It starts with building a strong foundation today — so our dogs, our businesses, and our industry can benefit tomorrow.
