Robert Cabral Teaching “Sit!”

Understanding the basics of Balanced Training to teach "Sit!" to your Cairn will help deepen your relationship and keep your dog safe and in your home.

In the following training video, Robert Cabral, founder of Bound Angels, Goofy, his Belgian Malinois, and one of his students, Stella, demonstrate the “Sit!” command, using a luring technique, with food and toys, and clear communication, hallmarks of his balanced training approach. This command is one of the basic tools to help build your relationship with your dog and enhance the entire training process. Robert also discusses how keeping the training fair and fun, using the dog’s natural drives, will not only speed the training process, but also strengthen your relationship with your dog, keeping your dog safe and happy.

In this thought provoking video, Robert Cabral speaks at a Symposium at UCLA, giving a clear and insightful explanation of Kennel Syndrome, Barrier Aggression, and the simple but important positive training he is implementing via Bound Angels to help shelters help the dogs in their care, enabling them to find homes when they might otherwise fail in the shelter system. Great lessons for all who are dedicated to Rescue.

Robert Cabral, Founder and Executive Director of Bound Angels, is an authority on canine behavior and shelter dogs. His first hand knowledge of shelter behavior, aggression, and dog training is a lifesaver to dogs that have no one to speak for them - Robert speaks for them, sometimes eloquently, oftentimes candidly - but always honestly and always with the intent to make the world a better place for them. Bound Angels helps animal shelters save more lives through information and knowledge.

Robert Cabral Video: Teaching “Come!”

Understanding the key elements of teaching Come to your Cairn with Balanced Training will help to deepen your relationship and keep your dog safe and in your home.

In the following training video, Robert Cabral, founder of Bound Angels, discusses the importance of teaching the Recall or “Come!” command, using balanced training and corrections, with clear communication and then gradually introducing distractions to teach your dog this skill in a fair way. Robert and Goofy, his Belgian Malinois, demonstrate the Prey Recall, using a toy and controlling the dog’s drive and play to develop a solid recall as it strengthens your relationship with your dog and helps keep your dog safe and happy.
