When my pups started becoming dog aggressive, Robert nipped it in the bud, and now they can walk in a perfect heel while big dogs sniff and little dogs yap at their tails!

Having worked with police k9’s and search and rescue dogs for many years, I was surprised by Robert’s knowledge of dog behavior and the lessons he taught me with my personal dogs. His insight was surprising and quite refreshing. The techniques he taught me have solved the problems other trainers could not, and he did it in two sessions. Overall my dogs are happier, better adjusted and their training has become even more polished. I would highly recommend Robert to anyone who wants to better understand their dogs.

Without reservations, Robert Cabral surpasses the level set by others who think they know anything about dog training.
Through the many years of having animals as part of my life, I've used dog trainers in every shape, style and behavior . No one ever did for an animal and for myself what he has done, he's made me understand the why's and the very nature of dogs.
He is a stand alone act because he produces a level of skill & competence that is rare in any field. Because he has such a deep and spiritual understanding of animals, he gets results quickly.
Initially I tried like most to get out of the day by day actual training of my Golden Retriever, happy to allow Robert to do it all. He found that amusing and without any reservations, he responded to us with patience, humor and care.
Robert has made training fun for me and for my Rosie and I now look forward to our training time together.
Rosie is happier and safer today because Robert set us on the right path.
The training time I spend with my wonderful dog is rewarding and makes the play time even more enjoyable.
I'm so grateful to Robert for opening up another world of pleasure for us.

I couldn’t believe the change in my dogs (and how I related to my dogs) after our first one-hour session working with Robert. I have worked with other trainers, but the effects of any training, on both me and my dogs, ended the minute they walked out the door. Robert has a philosophy and teaching style that immediately puts you and your dog at ease, making it possible to truly learn and change behavior. My dogs are 5 and 7…and I am 48!. They say “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”, but Robert changed me and my dogs’ behavior for the better from the moment we started working with him. I am grateful to have found such an enlightened and kind teacher, and for the opportunity to support his passion for saving dogs.

Not only is Dudley calmer with what I call our "new sheriff in town program," he also seems to be so much happier. I am thrilled! The most rewarding part of the experience, however, was when the instructor mentioned that Dudley was a different dog from the first time she met him. I am happy when I can see a difference in him, but love that others are starting to see it too. Thanks for helping us to get our dog back. I know we have a long way to go with Dudley, but am so grateful for the progress - especially knowing how close we were to giving up on him. Jen Schneider.
I am SO glad I decided to not give up on dog training and looked up another trainer and found you! Rowan already shows significant signs of improvement and it has only been a few days. Woohoo! Joy Lucas
That was an amazing lesson – thank you so much. Just to let you know he’s doing very well. We’ve had separate walks (that means I get more exercise too – first Adonis and then Toby). ZERO barking on the leash and we ignored the two dogs on the corner completely!! Still some pulling – but I’m improving MY technique and he’s doing better. His sit, down, stay in the backyard with the 20’ leash is really coming along and he is SO eager to please. He loves the training. Stella Croxton
I think I'm changing more than Daisy...finding that "marking" good behavior and, well, sort of ignoring minor stuff (which makes her stop actually) is good for both of us... Debra Greenfield
...The dogs are much calmer at my house since I saw you. It is really great. I liked how you train the dogs and it is really effective. Barbara

I never thought that my dogs would get along, but you solved the problem. Marcia Levinson
Robert Cabral is the rock star of dog training. He fixed my dog by the time the famous guy on TV called back.

To be honest, I was skeptical. I've been studying animal behavior for the majority of my adult life...I wasn't quite sure why I needed to pay some guy a few hundred dollars to come and tell me how to walk my dog... my friend pointed out that we study behavior. A life devoted to studying it is a life devoted to looking at it and NOT changing it by definition. So... My attitude when you arrived was more in check, but I was definitely skeptical. Daisy continues to be virtually a perfect dog, thanks mainly to the tools you have given us. We thank you. I don't think we could have ever gotten the behaviors as under control without your help. You have won me over. Anyone who so clearly loves dogs so much is ok in my book. Kris Kaiser
What People Are Saying About Robert’s Training
"...can't tell you how many times a day I think of you and the peace you brought to our lives.
My girls are a true joy thanks to your wisdom. You are the BEST!!!"
Nancy Ladlow
"With 4 dogs running around the house, we thought we could never get them under control. Robert showed us how to establish structure within our pack. All the dogs are now much better behaved and we are learning to become better leaders for our dogs, and our dogs respect us and love us even more.
Pierre & Margaret Loubet
"...both of them are looking to me much more for guidance and reassurance, so I seem to have learned something as well. We are getting to be a cohesive pack. Thank you so much for the miracles you have wrought!"
