About this collection
Puppy biting is usually just a phase, but it can be exhausting. I teach you how to redirect that energy onto appropriate chew toys so your hands stop being the target. During our sessions, we focus on real life obedience: not just sit and stay, but how to handle potty training schedules and social exposure without overwhelming your puppy.
Why Foundation Training Matters
Starting training early is not about making your dog a robot. It is about creating a common language so you can coexist happily. Many owners wait until a dog is older to address bad habits, but puppyhood is the window where we can shape how they see the world. Whether it is learning to accept a crate as a safe space or understanding that guests are not toys to be jumped on, these early lessons prevent future behavioral issues.
My Home-Away-From-Home Approach
I run my puppy programs from my own home in Bengaluru. Your pup is not sitting in a kennel. They are living in a real household environment with my own dog, Floyd, who acts as a balanced role model.
- Potty Training: I implement a strict, schedule-based system that works with your puppy's natural rhythms.
- Socialization: I do not just throw dogs together. I focus on controlled exposure to household sounds, textures, and new environments to build resilience.
- Bite Inhibition: I use gentle redirection techniques to teach your puppy to use their mouth softly, helping them learn boundaries early.
Your Role as the Trainer
Training does not stop when you pick up your dog. My goal is to teach you how to be your dog's leader. During our handover session, I walk you through everything I have done so you can continue the work at home. You will learn to read your puppy's body language, manage their environment, and build a relationship based on respect and clear communication.

I am Garima, and I live with Floyd, my high-energy Belgian Malinois. I have been in your shoes, dealing with the nipping and the chaos, and I know that the secret is connection, not force. I help you build a relationship where your puppy wants to listen to you, not because they have to, but because they trust you.
