Sanam Karunakar
Sanam was paralyzed in 1995
due to a car crash. This left her home bound most of the time. With India not
being very wheelchair friendly; she had to come up with a home-based career. She
also needed to do something that she absolutely loved, as she believes a person should
feel fulfilled with the work they do! All her life, she had been crazy about dogs.
Her dreams of being a veterinarian were shattered after her accident. She loves the
company of her dogs! They could be simply lying around or causing havoc in her
house, no matter what, they always bring a smile on her face...
Along with her husband Suraj, she completed a dog trainers course held by Shirin
Merchant who is trained under the world renowned animal behaviorist and
trainer John Rogerson and a member of The Northern Centre for Animal
Behaviour, England and The Pet Behaviour Institute, England.
That's when Shirin suggested she take up pet sitting as a career. So, here they are
today! Suraj has stood by her over these years and has been an active part of
her life. He has given her strength and helped start up Perfect Pooch. Later, Sanam
successfully completed a 21-day dog training course with John Rogerson and also has a
Diploma in Basic Canine Nutrition.
Suraj Karunakar
Suraj never had dogs while growing up but once he met Sanam,
he began to realize and joys of dog ownership. Shirin Merchant helped Sanam
and him to understand dogs better. They learnt patience and understanding dog
behavior from Shirin.
Having trained many dogs over the past 11 years, he feels content after
contributing to help dog owners in Mumbai and wishes to continue to do so. He too
has trained under world-renowned dog trainer John Rogerson and completed
the 21-day dog training course held by him in Lonavala.
We both look forward to happy dogs and happy dog owners.
