Robert Cabral is an internationally accomplished dog trainer, behavior expert, and leading voice in canine rehabilitation with more than 20 years of experience. Known for his compassionate, relationship-based training methods, Robert has worked with thousands of dogs—ranging from aggressive and fearful cases to high-level obedience and protection dogs. He has titled and competed in IPO, Mondio Ring, and AKC Obedience, and is widely respected for his ability to solve complex behavioral issues with clarity and fairness.

While Robert’s expertise spans all aspects of dog training, his greatest passion lies in helping shelter dogs. As the founder of Bound Angels, he has worked with shelters across the U.S. to rehabilitate dogs once considered “unadoptable.” His techniques are now used by shelters, humane societies, and SPCAs nationwide to better understand and train dogs in their care.

To broaden this impact, Robert created Bound Angels University, a life-saving training program now available as an online course. This resource has helped countless shelter staff, volunteers, and rescue professionals improve outcomes for at-risk dogs.

He is the author of Selling Used Dogs and Desperate Dogs – Determined Measures—two essential books used by organizations across the country to better evaluate, train, and rehome shelter dogs.

Robert is also one of the most respected online dog trainers, with millions of views across social media. Though he maintains a strong digital presence, his focus remains on delivering professional, experience-based education—not trends.

In 2025, Robert was inducted into the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP) Hall of Fame, honoring his lasting contributions to the field.

Through his work, Robert remains committed to bridging the gap between dogs and humans, ensuring every dog—whether in a home or a shelter—has the chance to live a safe, meaningful life.
