About Robert
Robert is a Renaissance Man - artist - activist & warrior.
But most of all he is the best friend to animals great and small.
As a photographer and dog trainer, Robert has helped animals all over the world.
His dog training expertise is quite diverse. He has trained, handled and evaluated thousands of dogs through his work with Bound Angels helping animal shelters save countless dogs throughout the USA and beyond.
Personally Robert has titled, trained and competed in various canine sports including: IPO (Schutzhund), Mondio Ring and AKC Obedience. Because of his immense understanding and compassion for dogs, he is considered one of the very top pet dog trainers. His private clientele includes Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Beverly Hills and beyond. He is a problem solver for even the most complex canine behavior issues.
His theories & techniques are used by animal shelters throughout the US in dealing with difficult dogs and helping to make them more adoptable. These techniques are responsible for saving the lives of countless thousands of dogs and moving many shelters toward No-Kill.
I can categorically recommend Robert Cabral as the best trainer of shelter animals I’ve had the privilege to work with. Robert has a unique understanding of canine behavior. His innovative and successful approach is one of the reason that our euthanasia has declined each and every year.Brenda Barnette GM, LA Animal Services

Robert Cabral is the Author of Three Books
Mastering the Art of Success was written while Robert was teaching traditional martial arts. It focuses on the ideals of success and how to achieve them.
The book is a compilation of short chapters making it easily readable and very informative.
Topics include; dealing with stress, negotiations that apply to both personal and business situations as well as defining what it means to be successful.
Selling Used Dogs is based on Robert’s extensive experience in saving shelter dogs and the creative methods he used to successfully marketing them for adoption.
The book contains hands-on steps including how to make You Tube videos, photography tips, posting to Facebook and much more.
All of the methods in this book have proven successful in saving the lives of shelter dogs.
Desperate Dogs Determined Measures was written for one single reason. Someone commented to Robert, “If I had your skills, I would train and save dogs all day long.” This inspired Robert to write about the steps to his success in training, assessing and working with shelter dogs. The book is a no-nonsense guide to helping save the dogs at the greatest risk in our nation’s shelters. Many people consider it a “Bible” for those wishing to save more dogs from shelters.
