Cynthia and better bond dog training were amazing! Our dog Poppy was enrolled in the board and train program and we have been SO impressed. Cynthia was extremely communicative about our dogs progress and where she was at. She worked specifically with her to understand her particular problems and what she needed while incorporating things that were important to us. We love that our dog was inside the home and had real life experiences there. Cynthia was able to pick up on anxieties our dog had but we never quite realized. It’s been so helpful in having her as a resource as Poppy has transitioned home. As we’ve transitioned home Cynthia has been involved in the whole process and always available for text and calls as we need them. Thanks so much for everything Cynthia!

Cynthia and the whole team at A Better Bond training were absolutely wonderful! Our anxious and spastic sheepadoodle puppy was out of control and scared of everything. The team was able to teach our pup how to be brave and show us how to help her through those anxious moments, along with basic manners, and finishing up potty training. Cynthia was always available for a quick chat and was constantly checking in with status updates and progress reports on our girl. We are so thankful we found A Better Bond Dog training, and will continue to keep in touch as our pup grows.

How do you get 5 dogs,3 of whom are adopted and none of whom you want to give away, to co-exist so peacefully that it feels like you are living with only one? You send them Cynthia Garlaska and A Better Bond Dog Training. You will not find a better, more knowledgeable or kinder trainer. I highly recommend her and her amazing staff.

Cynthia was awesome with our dog, Barley. He had bitten our other dog twice and was showing signs of aggression that made our home a very uncomfortable place. Cynthia was very professional, she came to our home and met all of our dogs and assessed the situation. She was upfront with the cost and the plan she thought was best for Barley. We were very nervous leaving him for an extensive board and train but also had reached a point where he could go with her or we would need to re-home him, which we did not want to do. We learned while searching for help that we could not take Barley to someone to just do obedience training, he needed to see a behaviorist before a trainer would work with him. Cynthia provided both. We are so thankful we sent him! The end result has been a blessing. We now have a dog that is much more at ease in our home around our kids and other dogs...that is HUGE! Barley is able to be outside with us around other people, dogs and kids and is very well behaved and trusted. We can take him on walks/runs and feel safe with him. I would definitely recommend Cynthia to our friends and family if we needed to. I had no idea what a difference behavioral and obedience training could do, not only for our dogs life but for our family’s life too! We are forever grateful for Cynthia’s help and guidance.

We are loving Cynthia and her team. We have two young Goldendoodles from the same litter that were becoming quite the handful. We used Cynthia for a board and train/puppy jumpstart program to get us heading in the right direction. It has definitely been worth it! Our puppies are doing amazing! They are walking on a leash well and have great puppy manners. We are continuing to work with her on their growth and feel positive about what to expect in the next year. We highly recommend a better bond!
