  When we found our pit bull, Corndog, roaming the streets, I never could have imagined he would become such a well-behaved and trained companion for our family. He was wild, out of control, and we couldn’t even get him on a leash or walk him properly when we first brought him to Albert. Now, he goes on walks with no problem, listens to commands, and genuinely wants to learn. The transformation has been incredible, and we’re so grateful for Albert’s patience, knowledge, and dedication.

  Do not hire Russell he will ruin your dog. He knows nothing about dog training. He trains dogs by inflicting pain and mental abuse. I know this because I Was ignorant and I hired him I fired him and I have witnesses. This man needs to be out of business. If you love your dog and you don’t want him or her ruined, please don’t call this guy. PS it’s been almost 3 years now since then it still bothers me the horrifying experience he inflicted on my dog, I don’t wish that on anyone ever.

  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!
