I highly recommend Albert I. i've always had dogs and all of them were well behaved. but I recently got a Belgium Malinois puppy which is not a breed for everybody, but I had the time to put in and I thought I could handle it. A couple of months in maybe I realized I could use help with training her. I spoke to a couple of trainers who had their dogs do a couple of parlor tricks which didn't impress me then Albert came by my house, no parlor tricks just talked to me about the mindset and the characteristics of my dog. I immediately hired him. He was honest and a straight shooter. He came to my house once a week for about a month and a half training, my dog and more importantly, training me . In that time not only was my dog off leash around my property, but I was able to take this dog off leash in any public setting. In such a short period of time, he gave me the techniques and the ability to succeed with this breed. I will say though it's up to you to work these techniques that he gives you. We trust him so much that we have even let her stay with him when we vacationed and couldn't take her with us, he didn't just care for her he reinforced her training and she absolutely loves him!To get the results you're ultimately looking for I highly recommend Albert.
There aren't enough words to say how great Albert is. we have a Belgium Malinois and have had Albert teach her and us since she was about 15 weeks old. The amount of compliments we get about her behavior is all a credit to him! He is not just a dog trainer but a people trainer too. Without his help I don't think we would have had the perseverance needed with this breed even with all our research and experience. We recommend him highly and to everyone who inquires about our girl. Our Freya looks forward to seeing him as she has completed her training and now gets to see him when we travel as he is the only person we would trust her to be with. If your on the fence with who to trust with your baby, you can't go wrong with Albert!!!
Albert is the real deal! I sent my catahoula Great Dane mix to his 8 week board and train program and it was fantastic. he meets with you each week so you can see the progress your pet has made and lets you see what they have worked on for the week. I can't say enough good things about him or his program. my dog Floki is a different dog now all thanks to him. if you want the best training around...he's your guy!
I currently have my second dog in training with them. My first was 10 years ago and he transformed my crazy lady rescue into a well-behaved service dog that we took everywhere. My new rescue is a graduate of boot camp and now home; he is a joy to be around! What a miraculous turnaround. I still go to classes every week to tune-up his obedience. He loves Mr. Russell and the feeling reciprocal.
Our 80 lb Doberman/Boxer rescue is a beautiful and wonderful gal, but she is super Type A personality and always wants to be in charge. Albert - Russell's K9 Academy has helped us understand her behavior and given us the necessary tools to better communicate with her. We continue to rely on Al by attending his training events regularly. It has been a game changer! We have learned so much about dog behavior and how we have such an impact (positive/negative) on it. We first came to Al a few years ago for boot camp and E-collar training. Since then he has continued to advise us and help us grow with our gal! It has been a wonderful journey for us all! Thank you, Al! You are the best! We are forever grateful for your wealth of knowledge and experience and your sole desire to help us connect with our gal. We are forever family!!!
Albert Russell did an exceptional job training our dog. Highly recommend for any type of dog in any situation. Our main issues were our dog would bolt and never get comfortable when we were camping. Now we have peace of mind and our dog is so much more relaxed. Beyond that, Albert is a deeply gifted communicator with dogs and we learned so much that we can apply to dogs our whole life. He had great communication, was up front and realistic throughout the entire process.
Russell's KA essentially saved our little Beagle,Maggie. While a wonderful little pup, once she entered adulthood, she began "testing" us, she became nasty, nipping, resource guarding,ect. We were honestly at wits end. Albert's "boot camp" and e-collar training made a world of difference. He also "trained" us! He explained that Maggie was an alpha female, and how to address it. The man knows his stuff....highly recommended.
Albert Russell of Russell's K9 Academy has been awesome to me & my 4 year old male very dominant doberman. Started off with training a few years ago, and have been boarding with Albert for the past few years. He also does training while boarding. Each time my boy comes home he is much more well behaved. Albert has definitely made a positive impact on his behavior. I have no worries when he is in Albert's care. He was highly recommended by a local (Port Orange) kennel & I'm glad they did!
