Choosing Dogs in the Groove is the best thing I’ve ever done for my dog!! I came to Bridget scared that my dog Luna was a little too old and set her in ways to make progress with some aggression and general anxiety- but with Bridget’s help we have done just that! Bridget has been such an advocate for myself and for Lu since day one- she has such a wealth a knowledge and a killer positive spirit that has led us again and again to breakthroughs. Even though we are virtual, we feel so connected to Bridget as our trainer. She takes us step by step, with not only instruction, but the why behind it! Bridget started with the basics for us, has guided us toward each new goal, and is there to trouble shoot any obstacle in our way, send us helpful information or tools or videos, and mostly importantly- CELEBRATE our successes. I am truly blown away by the progress we have made in these last few months. I can’t believe what I have learned about a dog I have had for 9 years!! I couldn’t ask for a better person to be there with us every step of the way. I would choose Bridget over and over!

I can’t even begin to say enough good things about Bridget and Dogs In The Groove. We had tried two other trainers before we found Bridget, and did not have a good nor productive experience with them. Bridget and her non-shock collar approach had better results in fewer training sessions, than the much more aggressive training methods we were trying before her. Our dog Indy looks forward to training and loves practicing his new skills. Indy also loves Bridget and they have a wonderful rapport that I’ve learned is not a given with dog trainers. He’s such a joy to walk with now. I didn’t think we could ever get to this point with him and I’m so grateful to Bridget.

We reached out to Bridget over a year ago for help after we had to cancel our trip to NYC because our nervous little Pomeranian, Dumpling, was struggling with doggy daycare and boarding. We could not find a boarding option that could support our sensitive pup without overwhelming her. Prior to working with Bridget, we were struggling with her anxiety at home, during walks, in the car, at the Vet, at the groomer, and everywhere else. We didn’t know if we would ever be able to help her feel less afraid and more comfortable. Bridget has helped us understand Dumpling’s emotional needs and how to encourage her to tolerate her big feelings. Our relationship with Dumpling is so much stronger because of Bridget’s guidance and recommendations. Bridget has been instrumental in helping us build trust with Dumpling and helping Dumpling build trust with us. We feel so much more empowered to help Dumpling figure out how to cope and enjoy the world around her. Bridget visits us at home and different places in the community to help Dumpling to learn how to enjoy her surroundings and help others enjoy Dumpling’s loving and cuddly self! Because of Bridget’s coaching, Dumpling recently started at doggy daycare again and is doing well! Bridget’s approach has been game changing! She is so kind, supportive, responsive, and encouraging. Her strong knowledge base of sensitive dogs and her gentle communication style makes this an incredible experience. I cannot recommend her enough! She knows what she’s doing and is a dream to work with. You will not regret it!
