Russell K9

I’m amazed by the abilities of Russell’s K9, my girl Cranberry was a wild woman to say the least. She’s a 6 month old border collie and 100% full of sass. Today my girl graduated from their 2 weeks board and train and I picked up a well mannered completely transformed girl. She is still sassy but now is controllable. Jockson was patient with both of us and I can’t recommend them enough. They really are worth every penny it spent.

My name is Steve Smith and I got a call a couple of months ago about a puppy that a couple had had for about a year and a half. They stated that the puppy was defective, aggressive, had bit someone, gad no hair, was allergic to everything and was on a special diet and there were no remedies in sight. I went and got the little dog. It did have some problems. All the hair was chewed off practically everywhere he could reach. The hair that was left was matted and looked like little dreadlocks. The little dog was on different meds. He was quite aggressive, attacked and bit my wife. He was fearful of everything. This little guy was a real mess and had problems. We took him off of the meds, put him on a regular diet of Orijen and Farmers Dog. His hair grew back and he became healthy but he was still very fearful and quite aggressive towards humans. We decided to make the drive from Arkansas all the way down to Wiggins, Mississippi, and take this little guy to Kody Russell and Jocksan Soria at Russel K 9. As breeders it is one of the best devisions we’ve ever made. After two weeks at Russel K 9 the transformation was unbelievable. The little dog, Cujo, now looks us in the eyes, he is

Kody at Russell K9 is an incredible person. We sought out a trainer for our Morkie who proved to be very resistant, and difficult to train. Lady participated in the two week public board and train program. The Lady I met today is a very different girl than the Lady who entered training two weeks ago. Kody is someone you can trust. His attention to detail, and his dedication to his craft are second-to-none. Sincerely grateful for all that Kody and his team did for Lady and our family.

We have two very large, VERY unruly Bernedoodles (3 years old and 7 months old). They aren't aggressive, but way too smart for their (and our) own good. They would bark at and jump on guests, and nothing we did would get them to stop or listen. Then we came across Russell K9...what a godsend! We did the two week public training, and we got back two VERY well behaved and attentive dogs! Leash manners are exponentially better, and they are much easier to control when we have guests! We couldn't be happier with the results! Any problems that we have had are completely due to us being lazy, but they snap back to the training very quickly! You just have to be sure to keep up with the training, especially with hard-headed and intelligent dogs...but trust me, you'll be glad you did!

After working with multiple trainers along the coast — including one particularly negative experience with an off-leash canine training program — we were hesitant but hopeful when we found Russell K9 Dog Training. I wanted to wait a few months after completing the program to share our honest experience, and I can confidently say that choosing Russell K9 was one of the best decisions we made for our dog, Althea. Althea struggled with reactivity and anxiety — barking at the vacuum cleaner, people, on car rides, and even passersby in the yard. We had big dreams for her to become a therapy dog in our counseling office, but previous training attempts simply hadn’t worked. We enrolled her in the two-week in-home and public training program with Cody at Russell K9, who utilizes the E-collar as part of his approach. From day one, Cody’s professionalism and communication stood out. He sent daily updates, photos, and videos so we could see Althea’s progress and stay connected. He answered every one of my (many!) questions with patience and kindness. We were also impressed by how transparent Cody was — he gave us a full tour of his facility, showing where the dogs are kenneled, and we love
