The Best Choice for Tucson Dog Families
Welcome to Building Bonds, where every dog is unique, and so are our services. While we serve the needs of dogs of all ages, our specialized programs support puppies and young dogs under age two during their critical developmental period. For those who missed early positive experiences, our resilience-building programs create a safe, supportive environment to help them overcome fears and build confidence.

Family Dog Mediation® Private Lessons
We know you got a dog for companionship, a family member, and a meaningful relationship. Relationships are complicated—we get it.
Unlike traditional obedience models that focus solely on making dogs comply with human wishes, we believe this approach doesn’t yield the best outcomes for a healthy relationship. Many dog training programs built on outdated obedience models lack the insights and interventions informed by decades of behavioral science across multiple disciplines. Our approach goes beyond obedience, addressing the real sources of problem behaviors and providing realistic solutions that enhance everyone’s quality of life. Families consistently share how Building Bonds, with our innovative Family Dog Mediation®, offers a surprisingly different and lasting experience that positively impacts their lives.
While dog professionals can be valuable guides, they can’t be in the relationship for you. At Building Bonds, we aim to guide you in making your relationship with your dog flourish while equipping you with the essential skills for a harmonious lifestyle together.
With no judgment, false promises, or unrealistic expectations, we provide game-changing insights and interventions. We’re not just changing dog training; we’re transforming the experience for dog families like yours.
If this resonates with you, we invite you to embark on this next-level experience with your dog. Let’s take the first step together and begin the journey today.
