A Better Bond Dog Training

We are endlessly grateful to Cynthia and the team at A Better Bond Dog Training. Cynthia put our English Lab through her Board and Train program, and it truly changed our lives. Cynthia is incredibly knowledgeable and brings years of experience to her work. She helped us understand our pup’s behavior through a breed-specific, genetics-based lens, which was such a lightbulb moment for us. She also helped us realize our dog was capable of so much more than we were allowing, once we stepped back and let her problem-solve and build confidence on her own. Before training, we didn’t feel comfortable taking our dog many places because we worried about her safety. Now, we feel confident, empowered, and excited to experience the world with her. Just as importantly, Cynthia taught us how to be bet

I want to thank you for the amazing job you did training our dog Annie. Because of you and your staff, our precious Annie has become a wonderful dog. We never would have known that she had dirty dog syndrome. We were also dealing with a fearful dog that had missed the crucial period of time where she needed to have interaction with other humans and dogs so that she would be well adjusted. We are so grateful to you all for your patience in working with a stubborn but sweet Otterhound. Cynthia is very patient with dogs and the owners. She made sure that we understood everything about the training and why it works. She does not use fear based training, which would not have worked with our dog. Like she told us, she’s still the same dog but now with more skills and manners. Annie has made s

I have been involved with rescue for over 30 years and have worked with many trainers. Cynthia is the BEST I have ever encountered. When we rescued Cash I knew we needed serious training as he is a Cane Corso. After his training with Cynthia, he is so cool and confident. We can take him anywhere. Cynthia has also taught us so much as well. She is 4 hours away from where we live but worth every mile it takes to get to her.

I’m so glad I invested in ABBDT for my pup and myself! Juni was a very nervous and reactive dog before training and I loved hearing about/seeing her progress during the 5 weeks she spent with Cynthia and Mason. They were so patient in building her foundation and instructing me on how to be a less anxious owner and advocate for my dog. Wonderful experience 🙂

Started working with Cynthia back in 2020 when we got my 1st corso & I knew that this breed needed constant training in their life. We did board & train with him & I was so amazed by his progress & how well Cynthia communicate his needs with us that we had continued working with her all these years. She has now board & trained 3 of our corsos & has done private lessons with our 2 german shepherds. I completely trust her training methods!
