We had him come out to our home to evaluate our "pack". We have three adopted dogs and we needed help with establishing our dominant position in the household. He was able to evaluate our function as a family with our pets, and give us useful feedback and help educate us on how they perceive everything we do. We learned a lot during our 3 hour appointment with him. He spent a lot of time making sure all of our questions were answered. He also made sure we knew he was available for any questions for follow up, as well as asking us to shoot him a text letting him know how things were going. He is obviously very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs behavior and we feel fortunate to have found him. I would definitely recommend him to friends or family in need of behaviorobedience training for their dogs.

Absolutely the best. Me and my wife were speechless with the transformation of our two dogs. Mr. Albert showed the utmost care and compassion for our dogs which meant a lot. I highly recommend Russell's K-9 Academy. We cannot thank Mr. Albert enough for all he has done. Our dogs are the happiest they have ever been, and it is an absolute pleasure to see them learn and grow.

**This review is long past due. It originally written at the end of summer (September 2020) but for some reason didn’t publish online like it should have so I’m rewriting it .***
We are the proud owners of Watson. He was at the time a three and half year-old Yellow Lab that could have doubled for Marley from the movie/book “Marley and Me”. He was a sweet, lovable, big doofus and got away with practically everything. From running around the house like a mad man to “owning” us. Hence the search began for a trainer.
After searching online and looking at reviews for dog trainers that went beyond the normal, we found Russell's K9 Academy. I called and set up an appointment for Albert to come and take a look at Watson. Originally, we had talked about doing in-home training. After meeting and talking with Albert we decided that “Doggie Boot Camp” may be a better option. We were going to do a 6-week training session.
So off Watson went to school. We were asked to say away for the first couple of weeks to give Watson a chance to acclimate to his new surroundings and everything. Normally we would go see him on Sundays. Albert asked us to wait an extra week because Watson was having some anxiety about being away from home. Albert did an excellent job of getting him to settle in.
As the weeks progressed Watson turned from being the Watson the Wildman into a well-behaved dog. He would go to his “place” when told. He would come when called, not jump up and best of all listen to us. Albert gave us an extra 2-3 weeks (at no cost) because of Watson’s anxiety issues. Watson is now much more of a part of the family. Before he would run around and drive us crazy. Now he can come in the house and go to his “place”. He listens to commands and is a pleasure to have around.
This is the best money that we have spent. If you are going to have a dog for pet and especially if it’s a big dog, having one that is well trained is important. Albert is in it for more than the money. He has a way with dogs and is truly knowledgeable. He explained some things to us about why Watson was acting the way he was. Basically he “owned” us. He thought that he was the one in charge. Albert not only worked with Watson but also worked with us so that we have a good relationship with our dog. I would highly recommend him.

WOW!! Albert was amazing! From the second he stepped into our house he took control of our two english bulldogs! In under 3hours they were sitting, halting and walking on a loose leash on command. He also taught us how to be the pack leaders and control them! The money was well worth it! We will definitely be attending his classes.

This academy is hands down a game changer for people like me. I needed help getting my fur baby under control, THE RIGHT WAY! Albert provided patience, trust, confidence and a bond with Kaiser that is PRICELESS. We (Kaiser and I) are forever grateful for making us a team again. Russell's K9 Academy gave us the knowledge and confidence to have fun and freedom outside the confines of our home. Albert is truly a dog whisperer. I trusted him with my most prized pup and he did not disappoint. Thank you, thank you! Kaiser is such a proud German Shepherd and he now walks even taller and with more swag. If you are looking for results, this is the program for you and your 🐶 pup.
🐾HAPPY NATIONAL DOG DAY 🐾

Albert is in it for more then the money. He honestly cares for the dogs well being and getting them better. My 11 month old German Shepherd over 90 pounds already that no one else besides me could walk and I wouldn’t call it much walking. It was more like him pulling and me following. But since then everyone can walk him now and rocky now obeys all of his commands and is a natural superstar now. Neighbors compliment him everyday and makes me a proud owner

Thank you, Hunter, Rocky is going to an awesome dog and you're going to become an awesome owner.

I highly recommend Albert!! I called him up about my 10m old German Shepherd x Rottweiler with some leash reactivity towards other dogs and people. I couldn't walk out of my front door without him dragging me to get to anyone and I had enough of trying to fix it on my own. Boyyy, let me tell you what. He worked his magic and I'm not exaggerating when I say within a couple of minutes Sushi was glued to his side walking like the goodest boy I knew he was. He showed me how to correct him when we came upon other people with their dogs and explained everything under the sun what we needed to know. Today was my real test, and I took him for a walk on my own and he was glued to my side with minimum correction. I am beyond excited that I can start taking my furbaby back on walks and hopefully soon he will ignore everyone completely. Albert is the absolute best!! 3 hours and I have an almost completely different dog!

Thank you, Raven, your boy is a very sweet and very smart dog and I'm looking forward to working with you both at the group training classes on Saturdays. It was a joy working with you both.❤️

We had wanted to get a Doberman as our last rescue had passed away and we found a lot of rescue dobermans available. We picked a dog that no one else wanted due to her aggression as she had been in a kennel for close to two years of her three life. We brought her home and realized she was in need of training and That we did not know how to, we had Albert come over and the results are Amazing, She had to wear a muzzle when anybody would come over and now she is calm, obedient and a just a sweetheart due to alberts patience and his approach to dog training we can’t thank you enough Albert.

Russell spent time with me explaining why Annie was behaving as she was, showed me how to correct it and the change has been truly amazing. Even my neighbors can’t believe the difference. I highly recommend.
