Introducing Dogs and Bonds, dog training services to enhance lasting connections.
What we do
We provide quality behaviour care for families seeking to troubleshoot behavioural challenges and bring their animals up with kindness, respect and the strongest bond. Our approach is force-free, rewarded-based and committed to science and animal welfare: Let us help you find the right training plan or tailor one that meets your needs.
Learn about our Training Programs
-
Key skills for building a solid foundation to support a lifetime of successful learning, while also helping to manage undesirable behaviours you may be experiencing. These aren’t the same skills typically taught in traditional training classes; they go beyond the basics, strengthening and expanding them.
-
This package alternates coaching sessions with day training sessions. You and your dog learn the foundation skills, while I support and accelerate progress on alternate days. Some might call it the trainer’s “magic wand” at work.
-
A robust package with built-in time, alternating coaching and day training sessions for optimum synergy between guardian and trainer. This structure allows us to progress behaviours and adapt to your goals with follow-up built in to sustain change.
-
This bundle gives your dog an extra boost with 4 focused day training sessions. I’ll take the leash and progress the skills we’ve already started together, giving your dog the benefit of more practice and keeping the momentum going.
Behaviour Consultations
When we need a behaviour change, an initial consultation is the starting point to bring clarity and gain perspective on what is happening. With a better understanding of the big picture, we can have more elements to see the pathway choices and draw the most effective plan.
