Our experience with Cynthia & team of ABBDT has been hands-down the BEST, and exactly what we needed for our 2yo Cane Corso Pitbull Terrier Mix, Hopper.
We did a 6 week board & train with another facility when Hopper was 7mos old.
Even with a good training foundation, we were experiencing “teenage” behavior and reactivity/possessiveness in Hopper.
Hopper has progressed beautifully since working with Cynthia! She assessed his behavior/personality/demeanor and customized tools and training to his needs.
Cynthia’s communication skills are top-notch and so refreshing after having had poor communication during our initial board & train. She caters to helping owners understand behaviors in their pet and works closely with them to build confidence in handling.
Our home is much more peaceful and the stress level has significantly diminished with the tools and guidance Cynthia has provided. Our financial investment came with the most benefit for Hopper and our family. Thank you Cynthia!

Can’t say enough good words about ABB- for background I had adopted a 2.5 year old mix dog at the end of 2023 who had never had any training and was very leash reactive towards other dogs. I live in a large apartment complex and dogs are everywhere so it was important that I was able to work with my dog ,Holly, to give her the best possible life. I had also had previous poor experiences with trainers and Cynthia made me feel very comfortable with her methods and approach.
Fast forward to today, not only does Holly have basic manors but I have the confidence to walk down my hallways and on the street and not have to worry about Holly having a bad reaction towards another dog. We are able to go on longer walks now, go to parks, and just have a better experience overall. The ABB team was great with communication via their fb group and texts/phone and I never had to worry about what was going on with Holly.
Training will be a long-term investment and I can’t wait to see how my dog develops over the next year and would highly recommend ABB for training needs.

My wife and I have tried using other trainers to help with a very anxious and reactionary dog that has had some incidents with strangers. None of them have come close to the impact that Cynthia has had.
Cynthia spent 8 weeks with our dog and it completely transformed her. Cynthia sees and has a deep understanding of the subtle behaviors of dogs and the core reasons behind them. It was apparent in the first 20 minutes of our first meeting that Cynthia speaks the language better than anyone we know.
You will not regret using Cynthia.

We love Cynthia. Our pittie puppy was having struggles coming from an unknown background. Cynthia has helped our puppy and our family with strong rules, structure, and ongoing support!! So grateful for our relationship with A Better Bond Training.
