Mattie’s Progress Update! 🐾✨

Today was Mattie’s third lesson, and she is making great strides! 🐕💪 We worked on exposing her to a few of her triggers while keeping her under control, and she handled it like a champ. 🏆 By managing where she focused her attention, I was able to keep her body language in check, preventing any escalation.

Keeping her moving and engaged with me made all the difference, and she responded beautifully. 🌟 Huge progress for this smart girl! Excited to see how she continues to grow.

Great job, Mattie! 🎉👏

If your dog struggles with reactivity or focus, reach out—I’d love to help! 📩🐶

🐾 Door Manners Matter! 🚪🐶

Does your dog bolt out the door the second it opens? Rushing outside can be dangerous—for them and for you! Teaching proper door manners keeps your pup safe, prevents unwanted escapes, and creates a calmer, more controlled home.

At Groovy Dog Training LLC, we help dogs learn patience and boundaries, so you don’t have to worry every time the door swings open. With simple, effective training, your dog will learn to wait until given permission—making life easier and safer for everyone!

Ready to teach your dog to pause before they dash? Let’s get started! Call, text, email, or message us today, and let’s work together toward a well-mannered pup.

Big Wins for Mattie Tonight! ✨🐾

I couldn’t be prouder of the progress we made in our second lesson with Mattie, the German Shepherd! 🐕‍🦺💪 Tonight was a huge deal for her—she’s learning to trust, communicate, and work through challenges in a way that’s going to set her up for success. 🌟

Seeing her growth in just two sessions is a reminder of why I love what I do. ❤️ Training isn’t just about commands; it’s about building confidence and strengthening the bond between dog and handler. 🐶🤝

Way to go, Mattie! 🎉 Can’t wait to see what’s next!
