Dog Socialization & Group Activities
Available across Bengaluru
I run calm group sessions in Bangalore where dogs and their owners learn real-life social skills together through guided activities, not just playdates.

About Dog Socialization & Group Activities
Living with Floyd, my Belgian Malinois, pushed me to rethink what dog socialization really means. He didn’t just need another wild playdate - he needed to learn how to chill out and be confident around other dogs without getting hyped up. That’s why I started these group activities in Bangalore, for dogs (and their humans) who want to build real-life skills together.
What We Do
Every session is supervised by me and designed to keep things safe, low-pressure, and fun. We mix learning with good times, so you and your dog both walk away with something new.
- Social picnics in green spaces: think chill Sunday vibes, games, and making friends with other dog parents.
- Guided hikes and outdoor canine enrichment activities around Bangalore, with plenty of freedom to sniff, splash, and explore.
- Doggy camps: agility games, secure off-leash time, and sometimes swimming – great for sporty pups.
- Group workshops: tackling real issues like leash pulling or reactivity, so you get hands-on help.
What You & Your Dog Get
My focus is on calm dog group sessions, not chaos. Your dog learns impulse control, how to tune out distractions, and gains confidence. You’ll pick up leash handling tricks, learn to read body language, and get better at creating stress-free social experiences.
We don’t stick to just one spot – events pop up at different pet-friendly venues around Bangalore, keeping things fresh. If your dog struggles with group settings or you want to be a better guide for them, this is for you.

My Story
Hey, I’m Garima. My days are mostly spent chasing after Floyd, my Belgian Malinois, who’s got more energy than a cyclone. He keeps me on my toes—hikes, swims, the works. I’m always learning from him and every animal I meet, whether it’s a goat called Mithi or street dogs like Bhoori. Animals break down walls, y’know? I’ve learned a lot from my mentor too—being a good guardian is about heart, not just commands.
My Work
Dog training sessions (in-person & virtual) - I do one-on-one work, puppy 101 crash course, board & train, plus anxiety management for dogs. Bangalore or online.
You learn to train your dog - I show you simple ways so you become your own dog's trainer. We’ll raise confident pups together.
Bond-based dog training - It’s not just about commands. We focus on trust, play, and real connection—setting healthy boundaries so everyone’s happy.
Respecting your dog's needs - Dogs aren’t humans. Let them sniff, dig, chew. Not all dogs want to play together and that’s totally fine.
No cookie-cutter plans - Every dog is different. We’ll make a practical plan—maybe recall training for a Beagle, or helping an Indie stay calm with guests.
