Dogs and Bonds is a Melbourne-based, force-free dog training and behavior service run by founder and sole trainer Alida Gerger. Launched in 2023, the practice focuses on building respectful, science-based relationships between dogs and their families through positive reinforcement and humane, low-stress methods. Services are tailored to the individual dog and household, with an emphasis on troubleshooting behavioral challenges, improving obedience, and strengthening the human–animal bond. Offerings include personalized behavior consultations to assess and address specific issues, customized training programs (including puppy and obedience plans), in-home behavior support for practical, real-world guidance, and specialized packages such as skillset development, fast-track success options, and done-for-you training sessions. The approach is explicitly grounded in animal welfare principles and avoids force or punishment, aiming to educate owners as well as support dogs directly. Dogs and Bonds is positioned for owners seeking compassionate, evidence-informed behavior support and training delivered in-home or through tailored packages to suit different goals and skill levels.
