About The FamiLee Dog

Hi, I'm Leena Ukil, an internationally certified and Tru2Life Level 4 professional dog trainer dedicated to helping families build strong, loving relationships with their canine companions.

With over a decade of experience in dog training and behavior modification, I've developed a unique and compassionate approach that blends positive reinforcement with deep insight into dog body language and dog psychology. My goal is to help dogs thrive as well-adjusted members of their human families—without losing the quirks that make them who they are. This includes specialized work in behavior modification and aggression training, helping dogs overcome fear, reactivity, and unsafe responses with patience and understanding.

Beyond training, I also lead guided nature and beach trail experiences designed to enrich your dog's life through outdoor explorations and scent-driven stimulations. These safe, structured adventures support mental well-being, strengthen the bond between dogs and their humans, and also complement physical outlets like agility—encouraging balance between control, confidence, and play.

I believe every dog deserves to be understood—and every family deserves the joy of a well-balanced companion. That's why I create fully customized training programs tailored to each dog's personality and each family's lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our training programs

You can begin training as early as 8 weeks! The earlier you start, the easier it is to shape good habits and prevent problem behaviors.
No dog is ever too old to learn. While puppies may pick things up quicker, adult dogs can absolutely benefit from training at any age.
I use positive reinforcement-based methods rooted in canine psychology. This means rewarding desired behaviors instead of punishing unwanted ones.
It depends on your dog's age, temperament, and the goals of training. Some basic skills can be learned in a few sessions, while behavior modification or advanced training may take longer.
Obedience training teaches commands like sit, stay, and come. Behavior modification focuses on resolving emotional or behavioral issues like anxiety, aggression, or reactivity.

Success Stories

What my clients say about their experience

"Probably one or the best canine trainer and behaviorist out there today. Her observations about Kai — made such a difference to his overall demeanor. There is so much learning to be imbibed from her. How to give the recall command- in what tone of voice etc. One would learn from her. She's a treasure trove of experience and wisdom. We are fortunate to have met her."

"Leena came to our rescue when we were having trouble figuring how to take care of Zest's anxiety. She was so amazing, very quick in noticing the behaviours, possible triggers and we saw a lot of change in Zest in few sessions. Totally recommend her expertise to all fellow pet parents! 🙂"

"We have gotten in touch with Leena when there was a major tussle between our newly introduced babies and all we would be told otherwise was that these are 'indies' it's a norm for them to be reactive in a particular manner, the breakthrough was only thanks to her stepping into our lives at the right time and in the truest sense she relieved us from our worst nightmare, thereon she's been an integral part of our milestone moments — from adding more babies to our pack — doggos and human 🙂 or unique treks to the best spots Mumbai can offer.. She's Godsent!"

"My husband & I had the pleasure of taking my dog, Whisky, on a trail with Leena, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. Despite taking Whisky to Aarey almost every weekend, this side of Aarey was completely unexplored for us, and Whisky loved every moment of discovering new paths. What made the experience even better was that Whisky could be off-leash, something he absolutely loves, allowing him to explore freely. The trail was beautifully planned, and Leena made sure everything was well-organized. Whisky even got to cool off with a dip in the water, which was the cherry on top of a perfect day. Highly recommend Leena for her thoughtful approach and care for dogs. We three had an unforgettable time!"

"It's truly been an enriching, confidence building experience working with Leena. And I say that not just for my dog, but for myself. I'm able to manage my reactive dog way better now. I have learnt so much about not just his triggers but also how and when he's expressing his needs. Right from leash-walking to confidence building exercises at the beach and other open spaces its been a huge learning at the same time the playful warm nature if exercises have brought me and Winter even closer. We also express and understand each other much better now. Still a work in progress but we are very grateful for her solid confident support and the whole approach of training, she's the best!"
