Renowned Professional Dog Trainer, Behaviorist, Rescue Advocate, and dog sport competitor Robert Cabral doesn’t sugar coat anything. He’s straight up & tells it like it is. We asked Robert to join us to discuss some behavioral issues we’re facing.  
Robert is an authority on canine behavior whether it be in basic obedience, aggression, and complex behaviors and has worked with most every breed and temperament of dog during his time working in animal shelters and private practice. He has trained and titled competitive obedience and protection dogs in AKC, Mondioring and IPO / Schutzhund and his online training provides countless animal shelters, trainers, and dog owners with humane solutions to their dog issues.  
We called up Robert to help us with our biggest battle at the moment - crying & whining in the crate! (We apologize in advance for the crying.)
Hopefully this real world situation is helpful for those facing a similar problem. Spoiler** the crying/whining does get dealt with... it just takes some time so be patient with us.  
Robert also answered a slew of other questions from our YOLO PUP followers.
Questions we covered: 
- Socializing your dog 
- Reactivity (dog barks at skateboards, people, joggers) 
- How breeders play a role in overall development 
- To neuter or not to neuter - Opinions on ear/tail cropping 
- Proper correction techniques 
- Why it’s so hard to join a French Ring Club 
- Which dog sport is right for you 
- Dog pulls throng prong collar 
- Two handlers training a Mal 
- Biting 
- Separation anxiety for COVID puppies 
And most importantly 
- why you should not get a Malinois if you can’t handle the commitment.
