THE BEST DECISION IN MY LIFE EVER onboarding my pet, Demie(Italian Greyhound), with Cynthia and Matt.
She lacked confidence and was very afraid of the world. I tried a lot of trainings on my own and I failed. I didn't know what to do and why she barks at everything at that moment. Cynthia and Matt explained about her behaviors every single details so I can understand Demie more why she acted like that. I had multiple follow-up lessons as well for me to get trained how to train my pet. Cynthia took great care of Demie even when she hang out with other small dogs. I felt her sincere love for dogs. Their training skills are really professional, systematic, and detailed oriented trainers. Please don't hesitate if you are looking for dog trainers.

Cynthia and the ABBDT team are exceptional! Prior to their help I was struggling to communicate with my dog to address behavior issues. After the board and train, my dog is more relaxed, confident and I am able to communicate expectations with ease. I cannot recommend their services enough!

We feel so lucky to have found Cynthia Garlaska and a Better Bond Dog Training! We have a reactive Great Dane and other methods of training weren't helping. Cynthia's approach through not just training, but also behavior modification and building a better human-canine relationship, have been a game changer. She has taught us how to understand where his reactivity is coming from and how we can improve ourselves to help support him. We know change doesn't happen overnight, but we wouldn't be where we are now without her guidance. She has been a lifesaver!

This is the BEST time and treasure we have invested in a very long time. We’ve had a wonderful experience every step of the way and could not be more thrilled with the outcome!
We missed Bonnie while she was away but knew she was loved and cared for. 🐶. Bonnie and Cynthia put in a lot of hard work and we are so proud of our pup! Our children are more comfortable and the stress associated with a teenage pup is in the rear view mirror. Cynthia has taught us how to be better humans to our dog and has taught Bonnie the manners and discipline to be a part of our busy family life.
A better bond dog training deserves all the stars!! Thank you!
