Russell has been not only training our fur baby but training us as well. He sees not just the animal but the psychology behind the animal which we truly respect. Our Freya absolutely loves him and shes been behaving so much better in just 3 lessons. Will definitely be continuing! Just an update, Freya is thriving and will soon be spending a weekend with Albert, I expect our baby will have a great time at her first sleepover!!!🐾🐾

I wanted to reach out and thank Albert and Russell's K9 Academy for all of the amazing work they did with my dog Dozer as well as myself. I was unable to walk Dozer and bring him around people without fear of a potential incident and it seemed his issues were getting worse by the month. I felt like I was on house arrest without visitation rights due to the increasing behavioral issues. I was unaware that my dog's personality had gone into a dominant and protective mode towards me with other people. This led me to become fearful of a potential incident which only further fueled my dog's protective mode as he could sense my uneasiness. Not only did Albert correct Dozers overprotective behavior, but also took the time on multiple occasions to ensure I had confidence in myself to be the leader of my pack. My bond with Dozer is stronger than it's ever been and I am able to get the rest of my life back. Thank you again for all of your hard work!

I started with Russell's K9 when my dog was almost a year old. He did not have any manners at all and was a terror. He thought everything and everyone was out to hurt him, myself, or my mom so he instantly went on guard. He thought he had to be the one who was in charge all the time and would not really let anybody near him, myself, or my mom (especially men). After spending time at many many classes, listening to what Albert said, and doing what he said to do in certain situations, Mavric now knows who the boss is and it is not him. He now has manners, most of the time but has to be reminded sometimes, but understands that not everything is out to hurt him. He is more curious now and just watches, gets excited, and listens a lot better. I would strongly recommend Russell's K9 for anybody who needs to be shown how to understand their dog's language better so you can communicate better with your dog and your dog can be your best friend. Albert can help you learn that language and teach you the level of hierarchy. Thanks Albert for everything you have done and continue to do for your clients, both 2 legs and 4 legs. Mavric really enjoys seeing his Mr. Russell!

I have a 3 year old female Doberman Pinscher named Tevy. I've worked with many trainers and K9 behaviorists throughout central Florida over the past 3 years and found that Russell truely stands out. Not only is Russell an exceptionally nice person and very easy to work with, I found that he possesses an extensive amount of k9 knowledge and experience. Although I do believe that more important than knowledge and experience is his level telent and ability to connect emotionally and bond with my girl Tevy. Russell, Tevy and I have been working together now for over two months and I can't tell you how impressed I am with our progress. So if you're looking for a trainer that's not just punching a time clock but puts his heart and soul into training your dog, Russell's K9 Academy. Thank you Russell for everything.
