Lives of Steeties - ethological studies and create aweareness
While she started her professional career as a behaviour and myotherapy consultant for companion dogs, her passion lies in the ethological studies of free-ranging dogs in India.
Lives of Streeties is Sindhoor’s pet project that aims to not only conduct ethological studies on free-ranging dogs but also create awareness in their lives, in a bid to increase appreciation of what they bring to our lives and increase sensitivity towards theirs. This project has also been published in several companion animal journals and presented on several occasions across the globe, including International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC) journal, Pet Professional Guild (PPG) blog, Pet Dog Trainers of Europe (PDTE) newsletter, the PDTE summit in the UK and the 2020 online PDTE summit.

Her current focus is educating dog parents and professionals on canine behaviour and ethology. 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—whom she considers her inspirations and her greatest teachers.
