FirstBarkWorking with Russell was so easy and my little Bubba is now a much happier and well behaved pup! It is possible to train an older dog no matter what people tell you, it simply has to be done in the right way. I would recommend his behavioral services to anyone looking for dog training help in the LA area. Thanks again Russell!!

I was at the breaking point with my "disobedient" black lab puppy until I had the good fortune of meeting Russell during a morning jog. I had tried, unsuccessfully, a number of techniques suggested via an exhaustive Google dog training search to stop Jackson from nipping (albeit, playfully), jumping on people, and getting overly stimulated, but none had worked. I had worked with two trainers, but their efforts were fruitless. For starters, Russell pointed out a number of flaws related to my body language, gait, and technique as it related to my handling of Jackson. I made changes as per his advice, and the impact was immediately noticeable. I also realized that I was letting my dog walk me, rather than vice versa. Russell was able to swiftly help with that as well. His understanding and practice of dog training and behavioral therapy are extremely impressive, and his genuine love of animals is reflected in his approach to training. Although we still have work to do, the difference in Jackson's behavior since Russell started working with him has exceeded all expectations. He also helped me integrate my new adopted cat into my home with Jackson as well. I am truly grateful!!

My dog is my child and, like any parent, who I turn to to provide guidance, expert advice and care is highly selective. Finding genuine, trustworthy dog training/behavior specialists in and around LA is not easy but FunPawCare offer just that. Unlike many other trainers, they offer a unique, tailored service, you and your dog are not treated as just one of many, it’s highly specific. I would highly recommend FunPawCare to anyone looking for positive and lasting results.
Over many years, Russ has given advice and been of service, all of which has been wonderfully helpful in my dog’s training and happiness! His knowledge of dog behavior is extraordinary, a true Dog Whisperer now based out of Los Angeles. Or perhaps Dog Shrink is the better word... Highly recommended, he’s also an all around really nice guy.
In addition to being one of the kindest and gentlest of spirit, Russ is unequivocally the most knowledgeable cat behaviorist and dog trainer around.

In addition to being one of the kindest and gentlest of spirit, Russ is unequivocally the most knowledgeable cat behaviorist and dog trainer around. Our family benefitted tremendously from his support and guidance as our cat Zeek has never been happier or more well adjusted since our consults with Russ. Attentive, direct and a gift teacher, you will without doubt leave a session with Russ having learned much about the nature of your animal. Highly recommend his services for your family!
