The "Gentle Parenting" Framework, Newly Adapted for Dogs

Gentle Parenting is a concept used for human-child parenting relationships which Sowjanya has remodelled for dog-human relationships.

The foundations of this approach are trust, respect, understanding and empathy (the T.R.U.E. foundation) to achieve a healthier relationship between the dog and their human caregiver. This approach takes a trauma-informed and emotionally affirming approach to understanding dogs, their behaviors and work towards building emotional health and resilience.

About the Instructor

I'm so grateful to be welcoming Sowjanya to my Academy. Read on to learn why!

Canine Behaviour Consultant

Sowjanya Vijayanagar

Sowjanya is a certified Canine Behaviour Consultant after completing her BHARCS Applied Canine Biosociopsychology and Ethology Diploma from BHARCS, India, and the founder of Dog Pawmise. She works with dog parents who struggle to understand and deal with their dogs. Her approach is to work on behaviours holistically and keep the dog's welfare at the centre of the work. The goal is to help the dog parents build a healthy and harmonious relationship with their dogs. This goal is heavily inspired by the ideas of Gentle Parenting, originally in the context of human kids, which she applies in her work with dogs and dog parents.

Her dogs, Sammy and Zoey, inspired her to embark on this learning journey, and they will forever be her teachers! Along with Sammy and Zoey, she is extremely grateful to her free-living dog friends (endearingly called streeties), who have helped her in her learning journey and continue to do so even today!
