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...read full review
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.

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...read full review
