Grooming readiness tracker
Work each track from the top. Tick a step when your dog stays relaxed through it across a few sessions. Keep sessions to 1-2 minutes, use great treats, and go back a step at any sign of stress (lip licking, yawning, whale eye, pulling away). Your progress is saved only in this browser.
