Coaching to transform your relationship
I created the Build the Bond Coaching Series because big shifts don’t happen in one session, they happen with consistency, support, and a plan rooted in who your dog actually is not just who you wish they’d be
Build the Bond
A Coaching Series for Lasting Change
This isn’t obedience. This is a relationship reset.
The Build the Bond series is a 12-session coaching container for dog owners who are done living in constant reaction mode and ready to change what’s actually driving the behavior. This isn’t about managing chaos or chasing obedience it’s about reducing pressure, creating clearer conditions, and helping dogs rely less on stress responses to get through the day.
Whether you’re navigating reactivity, pushy or intrusive behavior, anxiety, or a general sense that things just aren’t working, this process focuses on slowing everything down and addressing the root causes. We look at human habits, the dog’s environment, and the systems in place, then make practical changes that allow dogs to settle faster, recover sooner, and make better choices without being micromanaged.
Ready to Begin?
Start with a consultation to meet me and discuss your goals. From there, if we’re a good fit, I’ll guide you through onboarding and schedule your in-home assessment before we dive in.
When you’re ready to stop managing symptoms and start building something deeper this is the container for you.
What’s Included:
In-Home Assessment: Before sessions begin, I’ll come to your home for a full lifestyle and behavior evaluation so we start with clarity.
12 Private Coaching Sessions: One-on-one sessions to shape structure, communication, and confidence for both of you.
Session Notes + Homework: You’ll get written recaps and exercises after every session so you stay on track.
Between-Session Support: Got a question mid-week? You’ll have messaging access for the full container.
Group Class Access: Practice in a structured, supportive group environment.
Custom Leash Included: One less thing to worry about we start you off with the gear I recommend and trust.
This is ideal for anyone looking to truly shift their relationship with their dog. From leash reactivity to household chaos, we lay the groundwork for calm connection through lifestyle not just commands. This work asks humans to slow down, tolerate discomfort, and change patterns alongside their dog. If you are hoping training will primarily make life easier without requiring lifestyle adjustments, shared household buy-in, or delayed gratification, this container will likely feel restrictive rather than supportive. This work is for people ready to build regulation first knowing freedom comes later.
If you’re feeling called to deepen your relationship and get calm, lasting change now’s the time.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Because I’ve learned the hard way: four weeks isn’t enough. Real change takes repetition, reflection, and a full cycle of learning. This container is the most honest version of what it actually takes to shift behavior for the long run.
-
No because this is double the work. We’re designing two full transformations with crossover work at the end. It’s not a bundle it’s a strategyTwo dogs = two unique relationships.
Each dog gets 12 dedicated sessions (24 total)
First 8 weeks are split one dog at a time
Final 4 weeks are integration sessions (both dogs present)
Fully customized notes, guidance, and pacing for each dog
We typically meet twice per week once for each dog with flexibility built in to support pacing, decompression, and integration.
-
Yes but we’ll need to reevaluate schedule and pricing. It’s best to plan that in from the start if you know both dogs need work.

A consultation is your first step a meet and greet, a nervous system check-in, and a values-aligned way to determine if we’re a good fit.
