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.

Training with Cynthia at ABBDT has been life-changing for both me and my dog, Sam. Before training, Sam was strong-willed, pushy, and demanding—and without realizing it, I was reinforcing those behaviors. He didn’t listen, and I struggled to set boundaries. But after working with Cynthia, it’s like night and day. He’s now polite, well-mannered, and looks to me for guidance. He no longer feels the need to take control, which allows me to see more of his true personality. He’s still a husky mix with plenty of opinions, but now he expresses them in a way that strengthens our bond instead of testing it. Cynthia is professional, knowledgeable, and an excellent listener. She took the time to understand both Sam’s personality and my challenges, then provided a clear, effective plan and guidance that transformed our relationship. The calm home-like training environment allowed Sam to get more individualized attention, and I didn’t have to worry about the stress of a large, chaotic facility—especially since he came from a shelter. This setting also helped make his transition back to our home and daily routine smoother. One of my favorite parts of working with Cynthia is her private Facebook group, where I could see frequent updates of Sam’s progress and learn from her work with other dogs. The program also includes group obedience classes and pack walks, which are fun ways to reinforce the training and have fun. This experience hasn’t just changed Sam—it’s changed me. The clarity, peace of mind, and confidence I’ve gained have been well worth the investment. And my relationship with Sam is a byproduct and a source of immense joy. Cynthia and her team are outstanding. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

We are absolutely thrilled with the results we've seen from working with Cynthia and everyone from A Better Bond Dog Training! What stands out the most is their patience, consistency, and personalized approach. Cynthia took the time to understand our dog’s unique temperament and tailored the training plan specifically to fit our needs. Not only did they teach us effective techniques, but they also empowered us with the tools and confidence to continue reinforcing positive behavior at home. The level of care and attention to detail is truly remarkable, and we always felt supported throughout the process. Communication was clear and consistent during training and beyond. Cynthia continues to check-in with us and help with any questions or concerns we may have. She also organizes a Pack Walk once a month that has been beyond helpful in continuing our learning, as well as giving us a place and time to feel confident in the skills we have learned. We can't thank Cynthia and ABBDT enough for their dedication, expertise, and for going above and beyond to help us bring out the best in Millie and helping her live her best life!

We highly recommend A Better Bond Dog Training! From the very first call, Cynthia has been incredibly informative and patient with all our questions. She is always quick to respond, courteous, and flexible with our schedule. Our very anxious German Shepherd attended their tailored board and stay program, teaching her the skills needed to be a more confident dog and have faith in us as her handlers, leading to a more harmonious household. Through Cynthia’s take-home lessons, we've gained invaluable knowledge to maintain our dog's training. One of the standout aspects is her vast knowledge of dogs, their behavior, and finding quickly what works for them. Cynthia sets realistic goals, ensuring we understand the progress and milestones along the way. Cynthia and her team have worked tirelessly, ensuring we are never left in the dark. We can't thank them enough for their dedication to our dog, Jasmine.
