Hey there, dog parents! 🎄🐶 With the holidays approaching, let’s set our pups up for success! Here are some tips to help your furry friend thrive:

1. *Designate a quiet space*: Give your dog a crate or room where they can chill out when things get overwhelming. 🛋️
2. *Set boundaries*: Not every dog is a social butterfly. It’s okay to say no to interactions with every guest or pup. 🚫
3. *Pre-holiday prep*: Exercise your dog before the festivities to help them relax. 🐾
4. *Strict rules save the day*: Establish a routine and stick to it. This will help reduce stress for both you and your pup. 📅

Let’s make this holiday season a happy one for our furry friends! 🎅🐾

Robert Cabral is teaching a workshop at Paws in Palm Springs Dog Training Summit

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) International 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.
