Pasadena & San Gabriel Valley Dog Training
A Better Bond, One Step at a Time.
Is your dog pulling you down the street? Reactive to other dogs? Can’t bring them anywhere because they simply can’t settle?
Our personalized training programs combine structure, clarity, and kindness to help your dog thrive at home and in the real world.
This is where your journey begins!
Hello!
Dog ownership is all happy walks and cuddles, right?
That's what I thought too, before I became a dog owner myself. Reactivity. Leash pulling. Manners that seemed to disappear the moment it mattered most. I quickly realized I had no idea what I was doing and neither did my dog.
So I did the work. I learned about dog behavior, what accountability actually looks like, and how to build real harmony at home. The transformation was incredible, and it changed my relationship with my dog forever.
I knew I couldn't keep that to myself. That's how my training journey began 8 years ago.
Since then, I've helped dogs of every age from puppyhood to adulthood (as old as 9!) Helping owners understand the why and how behind training has become my passion — and it's exactly why I started Balanced Bond Dog Training.
I’m Michelle.
If you’ve ever said something like…
“I walk him at odd times to minimize his reactivity.”
“I wish we could sit on a patio and just relax.”
“I can’t trust her off leash.”
“She barks her head off at other dogs.”
“We’ve gone through many trainers but nothing has stuck.”
“Walks aren’t enjoyable because he pulls the entire time.”
“She listens great at home but not outside.”
“He loses his mind when guests come over.”
“I can’t take the bone away without her snapping.”
Let’s work together to get you and your dog on the same page.
