It's Not About Obedience, It's About Trust

Do you trust your dog?
To come when called, to walk with a loose leash, to resist that squirrel running up the tree?
More importantly, does your dog trust YOU?
Because you can’t have one without the other.
That’s the secret of effective dog training: It’s not a competition, it’s a partnership.
Trust is a Two-Way Leash.

Eliminate Bad Behaviors In Just 20 Minutes A Day


Have you tried group classes, only to find out that the “one-size-fits-all” approach doesn’t seem to fit YOUR dog and YOUR situation? Or have you spent thousands of dollars to board your dogs at a training facility, only to realize that you have no idea how to replicate the good behaviors the facility trainers supposedly instilled in your dog?

Group classes and boot camps may be good for teaching your dog "obedience", but they aren't going to deliver to you the peace of mind that comes from genuine connection with your dog.

For that, you need Trust-Based Training.
And to achieve that, you don't need a class, you need a COACH.

Hi, I'm Bruce the Groovy Dogs guy, and I can coach you how to successfully train your dog in just six weeks, 20 minutes a day. 🐾

I offer a plan called Six Weeks to a Groovy Dog that is tailored to your dog’s (and YOUR) specific needs and issues.

During the process I’m your personal training coach: I provide 6, 8, or 12 ninety-minute in-person sessions backed up with your own webpage with daily updates, articles, and videos to help you through the process.

More importantly, it teaches YOU how to be the confident, serene leader your dog needs for them to survive and thrive in their forever home.

Trust-Based Training uses no aversives, no force, and is 100% positive reinforcement. Which means: no ill side effects, no damaged relationship with your dog, and RESULTS.
