I sent my 9-month old puppy to a 7-day puppy bootcamp with Fun Paw Care. She had a blast and Russell was really good with providing video, email, and photo updates on what they were working on and capturing some behavior I should be aware of. I did not know my dog had anxiety and now haver her on supplements to help her with that and calm her down a bit. He provides a lot of educational material to study and apply to continue training which I am still going through almost a week after.
Overall, a really good experience, Russell knows more about dog training than anyone I have ever met. He helped me unlearn some outdated information which is refreshing when there are so many "dog trainers" out there and so much inconsistent information. I would definitely recommend.

I had an exceptional experience with Fun Paw Care! Russell is very knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about helping both dogs and owners. My whoski made remarkable progress, and I appreciated the personalized approach tailored to our specific needs. The positive, reward-based methods employed here fostered a trusting bond between my dog and the trainers. The facilities were clean, and the staff's dedication to canine well-being was evident. I highly recommend this company for anyone seeking effective and compassionate dog training. A definite five stars!

Russ was able to meet with me and my dog, Rae, and assess an actionable plan for her training so quickly! So glad we found FunPawCare when we did.

I am so lucky to have found the clarity and the perspective that Russ (the work, the references, the gear and the writing) has brought to the human/dog relationship.
I know it's just the tip of the iceberg and there will be up's and downs, but the dog and I have had such a magical week with the new collar and starting to put small pieces of the practice into action.
I already feel the energy shift from the pup -- a 6-year old reactive dog who has previously had lots of "training".
And now every time I put the collar on, I'm full of joy and the pup is too. And I wish the pup could talk to me so I could hear what he thinks.
I will be forever grateful to Russ for this really powerful work.

Had a really fantastic virtual session with Russ. He was extremely knowledgable, and I was very impressed/shocked with the immediate success we had even through a virtual session. I also appreciate the no fear method of his training. Some of Russ' suggestions and cues we had never heard before - and had an IMMEDIATE impact on our dogs behavior. The follow-up report is extremely detailed, more of a guide which is extremely helpful.
I would look forward to meeting again with Russ, and hopefully tailoring the session to more of our immediate concerns versus the broad range of topics covered in our first session. highly recommend his services!
