Tails of Hope – Episode 7 Part 1 | Kushal Chipkar – Understanding the Street Soul: Training for Coexistence
Description
How do you train a dog who has known only thestreets? Who guards his food because he doesn’t know when the next meal is? Who lashes out not out of anger—but survival?
Kushal Chipkar, a compassionate dog trainer and behaviourist, takes us deep into the unseenworld of training not just dogs—but also humans. In this heartfelt conversation, he reveals that street dogs—our Indies—aren’t born aggressive.They’re born into chaos, into generations of learning how to be “good” just to survive among us.
But it’s not just about teaching a dog to “sit” or “stay.” It’s about building understanding between humans and animals—between societies that fear street dogs and feeders who protect them.
Kushal shares how deeply ingrained survivalinstincts like maternal aggression or resource guarding can cause incidents—especially during summers when food and water are scarce. He discusses the ten types of dog aggression, especially in Indies, and how they stem from trauma, instinct, and lack of human education.
He also speaks about the genetics of Indies—howtheir nature has evolved to adapt to our chaos, and how easily they are misunderstood, relocated, or harmed when they act out. Yet, they still try to coexist. That’s the miracle.
This isn’t just about dog training. It’s about society training.
Kushal offers insight into how we can educatehousing societies, conduct awareness sessions, and train school children to interact safely and compassionately with community animals. His dream is simple: a middle ground—where feeders, residents, children, and dogs live together with mutual respect.
Because every bark isn’t a threat. Sometimes, it’s acall for space… or just water.
