Fun Paw Care Dog Training

All I can say is WOW!! If you want to work with someone who is compassionate to animals and knowledgeable in dog behaviors russ is your guy. My dog was suffering from separation anxiety and he helped us with many training protocols to practice at home. It is also so nice to get constant updates about progress and photos. Thank you for helping me and my boy have a happier and fuller life!

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 He helped me unlearn some outdated information which is refreshing when there are so many "dog trainers" out there and so much inconsistent information.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.

We adopted our German Shepherd, Coco at just one year old from Best Friends Rescue in LA. She had been in shelters her entire life except once, where she was adopted and returned the next day. She is the sweetest dog, but has high anxiety and was constantly in flight mode. It is hard to get her to train as she is constantly observing her surroundings and is hard to calm her down. We rescued another German Shepherd from Russ that he had been training that needed a home and we immediately fell in love with Buddha and he has been a huge part of our family. Coco needed some help that I knew I could not recognize exactly how to deal with and knew Russ would be the answer. She did boot camp with Russ and she loved him from the moment she met him. Russ is very communicative during the entire process, makes videos and sends daily progress updates. He helped us understand the issues Coco had and how to help her grow into a confident, secure pup. If I ever need any help or have questions Russ is there immediately there to answer. Its been a bit over a month and I see a big change in Coco and know as long as we keep up with the knowledge and training Russ gave us, she will continue to grow in a positive manner. 10/10

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!

I went to Russ for service dog training and I am so happy I did. He is not only a top notch trainer but an extremely knowledgeable behaviorist which is extremely valuable when training a service dog. He was able to identify and even modify certain behaviors. He provides excellent feedback, resources and totally sets you up for success. Training a service dog is a process and having Russ on the team is a valuable asset. After being with Russ she is so happy and eager to learn. She is so attentive and always “checking in”.She is way more polite and even her patience has gotten better. She is a young pup so we’ll be back 🙂 I can’t say enough positive things about this experience.
