Sowjanya S Vijayanagar

Sowjanya S Vijayanagar

Bangalore, Karnataka, India

Our first graduate, an advocate of Gentle Parenting of Dogs, with specific interest in research and education

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, in a trauma-informed manner and keep the dog's welfare at the center 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!

Eva Pirnat

Eva Pirnat

Kranj, Slovenia

Great at handling dogs and gentle with their humans.

Eva is a BACBED graduate from Kranj, Slovenia. She advocates for a compassionate, dog-centered approach as she truly believes that dogs are the experts on dogs and they can give us all the knowledge we need if we are ready to listen and observe.


She adopted Balt, an ex-hunting dog and so she knows first hand how difficult it can be living and trying to built a relationship with a traumatized and reactive dog. But the flourishing changes she has brought about in Balt’s life, were also described by her clients "by following Eva's programme, Meda became calmer and less reactive to her surroundings within a few weeks”.


Her ability was also recognized by her mentor and BHARCS director, Sindhoor Pangal: “Eva is a natural. Mentoring her was such an enriching experience for me. I felt like I was exploring with her and learning as I watched her apply the BHARCS way into her handling of animals. She can transform the "toughest" of human- dog relationships into one filled with understanding, love, respect and effortless cooperation”.

Eva offers in person consultations in Kranj, Slovenia and is also available for online consultations for clients inside EU.
