Every journey begins with a spark. For many, it’s the wag of a tail, the playful bark, or the quiet companionship of a dog that makes us realize — our love for dogs runs deeper than words. But what if this passion could be more than a feeling? What if it could become a real profession?

This is where DTAC – Dog Training as a Career, by Progressive Canines, comes in. More than a course, it is a structured, certification-driven journey that transforms everyday dog lovers into professional trainers — and, more importantly, into ethical advocates for canine well-being.

And at the heart of this program is Chandra Shekar Mantravadi, a Canine Behavior Specialist and Internationally Certified PSA Decoy, who brings unmatched expertise and global recognition to the training. Under his mentorship, every trainee learns not just the science of dog training but also the art of building a lifelong bond with canines.

A Story of Growth and Learning

DTAC is built as a pathway, not just a classroom. It begins with Qualifier Training— an immersive phase where aspiring trainers learn the fundamentals of canine behavior and practical handling. This stage is about more than just knowledge; it’s about proving readiness, passion, and perseverance. Only those who demonstrate true commitment move forward to the professional internship program with Progressive Canines.
