About Leena Ukil:
Leena Ukil is an internationally certified professional dog trainer, behaviourist and aggression consultant. She has been in the field for the past 5 years.
She is the founder of ‘The FamiLee Dog’. She is trained under both Shirin Merchant and John Rogerson, the latter of which has allowed her to achieve a true-to-life level 4 international dog trainer badge. Currently, she operates out of Mumbai in person but holds online consults and workshops for out of Mumbai clients as well.
Her main purpose has been to provide pet owners with the know-how for making their pets the best fit for their families regardless of their lifestyles or environments. And to this purpose teaching clients to effectively communicate with their dogs using dog body language has been an all-time favourite subject. Another favourite topic is teaching children and dogs to peacefully co-exist, be it with pets or stray dogs.
