  Albert and Doreen did an amazing job with my 8 year old Sweet Pea. I honestly wasn’t sure how much she would be able to learn at her age since she had never been trained before, but she absolutely exceeded my expectations. She came home with a strong foundation in the fundamentals, a better understanding of boundaries, and a whole new level of respect for both her owners and other dogs. The difference in her confidence is amazing, and walking her now is so much easier and actually enjoyable. What I appreciate most is how much our bond has improved. She trusts me more, listens to me, and feels more secure overall. You can tell Albert and Doreen truly care and know what they’re doing. Sweet Pea adores them. I’m so grateful for the work they put into her and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for training or boarding. I will trust them to board her in the future.

  I absolutely highly recommend Russell’s K9 Academy! Mr. Russell is nothing short of outstanding. His passion for dogs and training is clear from the very start. He doesn’t just train the dog — he trains the owner, too. His extensive research and deep understanding of dog behavior are truly remarkable and essential to transforming unwanted habits. Our dog, Kobe, completed the 8-week Board and Train Boot Camp along with E-Collar training. At 11 months old, our Rottweiler was completely unmanageable — we couldn’t even walk him on a leash. The transformation was astonishing. Through our joint lessons with Kobe, we learned how to reinforce what he was being taught. Now, Kobe is not only a joy to walk on leash, but he’s also off-leash trained and confident. Mr. Russell’s program helped us set clear expectations for our dog and achieve goals we never thought possible. We are beyond grateful for the incredible work and dedication he’s put into helping Kobe — and us. Thank you, Mr. Russell, for all you do!

  I highly recommend Albert Russell at Russell K-9 Academy. Years ago my dog Tater struggled with aggression, and through Albert’s knowledge, patience, and dedication, he completely turned things around. Today, Tater is a well-trained service dog. What makes Albert truly exceptional is that he doesn’t just train the dog. He teaches the owner how to understand & communicate with their dog as well. I’m incredibly grateful for everything he’s done for Tater and for us. If you want real results and someone who truly understands dogs, Albert is the one to call. 🐾 His yrs of experience thru generations of training is Amazing. It was definitely worth the time & money for You & yer fur baby 👌

  I’m incredibly grateful for the experience and expertise at Russel’s K9 Academy. They helped me train my two Dalmatians, Nova and River, and the transformation has been amazing. Before training, both of my dogs struggled with leash reactivity and had absolutely no recall ability. Walks were stressful and unpredictable. After working with Russel’s K9 Academy, everything has changed. We now walk daily through our neighborhood — which is full of other dogs and people — without any issues. Even better, Nova and River reliably come when called every time. This is expert, professional training that not only works with your dogs but also teaches you how to be the confident leader your dogs need. I highly recommend Russel’s K9 Academy to anyone looking for real results and a better relationship with their dogs.
