An Open Discussion With Sindhoor Pangal

About the event:
This is an open chat with Sindhoor, who has observed street dogs for many years and with whom we can discuss the difference between family dogs and streeties. 
We aim to discuss how street dogs live around children and how kids behave around street dogs. Such discussion can lead us to better understand dogs and how they would freely chose to interact with small humans, if at all.
It can also give us an insight of how some children choose to interact with street dogs. 

All participants will be invited to ask questions to Sindhoor and will also be invited to give their opinions. 

About our guest:
Sindhoor is a canine behaviour consultant, a canine myotherapist and an engineer by qualification.
She is a TEDx speaker and the author of the book, Dog Knows.

Sindhoor quit her corporate life as a VP of a silicon valley based start up, to pursue a career with working with dogs, after her dog Nishi met with an accident and needed special physical and emotional care.

While she started working as a behaviour and myotherapy consultant for companion dogs, her passion is ethological studies of free ranging dogs in India. Her studies have been published in the IAABC journal and the PPG blog in the US, was presented at the PDTE summit in the UK and was mentioned in the book Canine Confidential by Dr. Marc Bekoff and a National Geographic Bookazine called the Genius of dogs.

She is currently pursuing her masters in Anthrozoology from Exeter University (UK) and is also the principal and director of BHARCS. BHARCS offers a one of its kind, UK accredited level 4 diploma on canine behaviour and applied ethology.

BHARCS attracts students from all over the country and the world and today boasts of students from all parts of India and across the globe. While she wears many hats, Sindhoor’s favourite role has been being a mommy to two amazing dogs - Nishi (who recently passed away) and Cheeru, who she considers her inspiration and her greatest teachers.
