Had a great experience with the behavioral modification board and train program for my dog. Cynthia is great at communicating exactly what the situation is and explaining training principles, in addition to accommodating my travel schedule and even keeping Turbo for an extended time based on his progress. Would recommend!

Even 5/5 stars seems inadequate for the amazing work Cynthia does at ABBDT. Choosing ABBDT was the BEST decision I could have made for a training program for my little Shih-Tzu/Yorkie mix! Cynthia was a godsend in training him. I struggled for years with my dog being reactive toward other dogs to the point I could not even have a conversation with friends or family if other dogs were around. After the training and follow up lessons Captain is so much more comfortable on walks and being around non-reactive dogs! As well as improvements with his general obedience and excitability. I can honestly say my quality of life both for Captain and myself has improved greatly due to Cynthia’s expertise! I believe it is not only her expertise, but also the compassion she has for each and every dog/owner she welcomes into her program that really sets ABBDT apart from other programs . It is clear as day how much my Captain loves Cynthia, and I do too!! Words can never truly express how grateful I am to have met and worked with Cynthia. Truly life changing!!

These three dogs have all become such huge parts of my life, and thanks to Cynthia they all had phenomenal starts inter training that have allowed all of us to truly enjoy life together in the fullest capacity.

Where to start….I had found myself in over my head in a construction project at the same time my family’s name came up to bring our new puppy home. Constant construction coupled with two small kids (4 and 7) and a very senior dog that was king of the house and not at all interested in a new addition to the family made for a perfect storm of puppy crassness. Cynthia and Matt have been a rock for our family. Lupo was able to learn and maintain his wonder puppy classes. They worked with us in between his puppy classes and Foundations stay and train, helping me maintain is training. Helped identify a few allergies that I had not realized he had and finding alternatives to their training methods due to Lupo’s allergy was critical and above and beyond. They were our life savers when we had to expectedly travel for an emergency when I had no other options to board him. Lupo has amazing recall and great understanding of commands. With all the people in an out of our house and opening the fence to our back yard. I have not had to worry at all about him just taking off at the first site of freedom. He plays so well with other dogs, something that I was really worried about since our senior dog doesn’t have too much interest in him. I honestly don’t think I would have made it through the last 9 months without A Better Bond Dog Training and cannot recommended them enough.We

Our sweet cane corso, Grace, has been a handful to say the least. On top of just being a puppy, we also received her with health issues, Cynthia and Matt have taken the time and patience to not only create a very manageable dog, but also train her humans! Cynthia took everything into consideration and provided the best training! She is always available for questions, concerns or anything else pertaining to Grace. This is Grace's home away from home! I will not trust her with anyone else!
