Robert Cabral is more than a dog trainer, think of him as a Life Coach for your dog.

A longtime Malibu resident, Robert stumbled into dog training through his rescue work with some otherwise "trouble dogs."  It's immediately evident that Robert loves dogs and all animals.  In fact, when he is not training dogs, he spends much of his time rescuing them.  Robert has an amazing gift for communicating with dogs.  He forms and instant bond and works from there.  His methods have been proven on the toughest subjects, the ones other trainers won’t approach or have given up on. He's paid his dues training the "un-trainable." He works with the breeds that others avoid and has put his techniques to the test in the toughest of places, dog shelters. The dogs who end up in the shelters and are considered aggressive or troubled, are his favorites. "I can tell you stories of misunderstood dogs that almost ended up dead in the shelter, they're now living happy, loving lives because I worked with them. When my phone rings, its usually because the other training methods didn't work."

Robert is very active in rescue and donates much of his time and resources to building a better world for animals.  His charity BOUND ANGELS educates, rescues and builds media campaigns to heighten awareness of the forgotten and the abandoned.  Robert works with various rescues evaluating, training, placing and consulting. 

His philosophy on training dogs is very unique, it's less about discipline and more about understanding.   As a strategist, Robert first builds a relationship with the dog, then uses training techniques that are fair, but firm.  Techniques that a dog understands and that humans can apply.  His ability to teach is surpassed only by his understanding that which troubles the dog and then bridging that gap between human and canine. 

When asked, why do you train dogs, he says:  "I train dogs because I love dogs."
