At Building Bonds, we know that you got a dog because you wanted a companion, a family member, and a meaningful relationship with your dog.​ Relationships are complicated. We get it.

Traditional one-sided “training” of a companion of any species to comply with our wishes will not foster the best outcome for a healthy relationship. Pros are often a valuable & even necessary guide in the process, but they can’t be in the relationship FOR you. We can guide you to make your relationship with your dog work while teaching you the necessary skills for your lifestyle together. Most dog training programs don’t touch on what matters to dog families because they are built on an outdated model of “obedience” rather than insights and interventions based on decades of well-established behavioral science spanning multiple disciplines. So, even if you walk away with a few new skills, the things that make life difficult often continue to be daily serious challenges.

That’s why we take dog training to the next level. We go beyond the concept of “obedience” entirely to practically address the real sources of problem behaviors & create realistic solutions that make everyone’s life better. The families we serve consistently share what a surprisingly different kind of experience they have with Building Bonds that last a lifetime with Family Dog Mediation. No judgment. No false promises. No unrealistic expectations. These are just the kinds of game-changing insights & interventions that matter. We’re changing dog training – for dog families just like yours.

If this sounds good, we know you will enjoy this next-level experience with your dog. Let’s take the first step together and begin the journey today.

With our online training options, you can easily train everyday manners and work with complex behavior issues in the privacy and convenience of your home. We guarantee you will receive the same level of personal instruction as in person lessons. It benefits you and your dog. What's not to love?

Personalized Dog Training will take the stress out of your relationship with your dog.

New Dogs – Old Trix was founded in 2010 specifically to develop a conflict and confrontation free, rewards-based training environment where dogs are taught the correct behaviors through easy to learn, clearly communicated, fun exercises that build their confidence and self-esteem. By establishing that foundation of trust and understanding through patience and marked successes, all other aspects of training flow more easily and corrective measures are required less frequently. The old school philosophy of teaching a dog by intimidation and coercive corrections seemed at odds with the loving, trusting relationship I wanted with my own dogs. I knew there had to be a better way for all involved.

If your new dog isn’t all you expected he’d be, don’t despair. If you are you starting to feel frustrated and guilty at the daily chaos, New Dogs – Old Trix offers customized in-home (Board & Train) dog training programs in Tucson and southern Arizona. Our approach to dog training is built around helping dogs and their humans understand each other’s needs.

Effective communication is a key element in all we do. It is no different with your canine companion. Do you need assistance deciphering canine lingo? Your dog is communicating to you at all times. Do you know how to interpret the messages? Do you recognize when your dog is conversing with other dogs and what they are signaling to each other? Many times it appears that dogs begin fighting “out of the blue.” That is not the case. Is your dog a resource guarder? Does your dog guard food, toys, you, etc.? Does your new canine companion tend to “love” you too much by jumping and licking? Does your pet suffer from separation anxiety? Or, does your pet try to escape every time a door is left open? Are you comfortable bringing your dog out in public? To the Vet’s office? To a restaurant? Does your dog have the tools to know what is expected of them in these situations? Do you understand your dog’s motivation for the behaviors they exercise that are incompatible for life with humans?
