Family Dog Mediation
Serving Tucson, Sahuarita, Green Valley, Corona de Tucson, Oro Valley, & Marana (Travel charge may apply.)


Private lessons are held either at our centrally located Tucson training facility, at your home, or in a public place.
In our private manners lessons, we guide you and your dog to achieve the behavior you have always wanted from your dog.
Both Manners and Family Dog Mediation programs are designed to meet the specific needs of your dog, with a number of sessions that ensures you will understand your dog and truly know how to reach their canine mind.
Why choose private lessons?
Convenience
Our facility is conveniently located in Tucson and is an easy drive from every direction. If at your home training is your preference, please contact us first to discuss if you are in our service area and possible start dates for services.
L.E.G.S
We will work with your dog's physical, emotional, and environmental conditions to improve the quality of their life. We incorporate details about their learning history, environment, genetics, and self-their individuality.
Do No Harm
We hold ourselves to a high ethical standard of doing no harm with the intention of doing good. Our positive approaches in Family Dog Mediation and dog training are humane. No fear, pain, or intimidation is necessary.
We can help you with fear or aggression
All Fretful Fido and Mentor Me programs begin with a one hour Zoom session ($125). Completion of our registration form is required and will be emailed to you once you schedule. Please email info@buildingbondstraining.com to set up the initial one hour Zoom session.
All programs have the option of a 30-minute Zoom interview ($60) if you would like to discuss the possibility of working together. We are currently requiring a two-hour behavior consultation in person or via Zoom for intra-household dog-dog aggression cases. Please contact us to schedule at info@buildingbondstraining.com.

Should you cancel your first appointment or behavior consultation you will be refunded your fee minus a $100 cancellation fee and the credit card processing fees. Once a training program commences, we do not provide refunds.
We train Manners and Life Skills with you.
In our private lessons, we will teach you how to build and maintain newly learned behaviors, and provide time between lessons for guided practice and practical application of the skills you are shown. Private lessons take place at our training facility, at your home, or at a public place you and your dog are both comfortable with.
If you would like us to train your dog for you, we offer a customized dog camp at our training center or at your home. Contact us for your customized program.
