If you are searching for dog training, Los Angeles, look no further than Russell of Fun Paw Care! Parents are lucky to have such a wonderful teacher and dog behaviorist. He worked with me and my rescue dog Penny who had fear and leash reactivity towards other dogs. Russell’s knowledge of dog behavior, psychology and training are amazing! I learned so much from him! His teaching style was compassionate, thoughtful and helped me learn why my Boxer, American Pit Bull Terrier mix, Penny was reacting to other dogs and how to stop that from happening while teaching her other training behaviors. Russell is a wonderful dog behaviorist in LA and comes highly recommended!

WOW, Russ and his staff are incredible! Their training and walking services are top notch. I would encourage anyone with a challenging dog in the family to engage their help and let Russ work his" magic" with them. It makes such perfect sense and leaves everyone calm and HAPPY!

When you meet Russell, it doesn't take long to realize that he's an affable, peace loving & thoughtful person full of positive energy. Upon watching him interact with Sasha, my skittish 3 yr old Boxer, it was obvious that those qualities play a key role in his unprecedented ability to form an immediate bond with her. I was at my wits end up to that point, but felt that if anyone could help socialize Sasha, then that person would be Russell. I was rewarded when it became clear that after subscribing to his training methodology, the change in Sasha's behavior patterns, interactions with strangers as well as other dogs, and overall level of happiness was remarkable. I am truly grateful.

Our experience with Fun Paw Care is and has been extremely professional and most enjoyable. Russell’s kind manner and up to date training knowledge has made both our training sessions and boarding experiences productive, effective and most importantly our dog loves the time spent with Russell. The positive, humane methods Fun Paw Care employs as the basis of his training is brilliant, fun and entirely effective, eliciting amazing changes in behavior in a very short period of time.
We are typically very cautious of others taking care of our dogs, but we immediately felt total confidence in Fun Paw Care to both train and board our precious puppy. From the many photos and videos shared with us during our dog’s stay, it was very evident Russell and the Fun Paw Care team went above and beyond the normal care. Russell is the perfect choice for any dog care and we highly recommend his services.

I was fortunate to have met Russell two years ago walking down Lincoln Road and have the opportunity to adopt my dog Pacho from him. Russell rescued and fostered Pacho for several weeks caring for him until he was adopted. He did an amazing job of training Pacho and getting him ready for a new home. Pacho has become a kind and loving part of not only my life but also the lives of my parents who have come to love him as well. He is such a wonderful compliment to our lives and we feel very lucky to have him. Russell's knowledge of training and compassion for animals was very evident to me in the way that he cared for and trained Pacho getting him ready for a home considering that Pacho had spent almost the entire first year of his life living in the Everglades out in the wild. It was a selfless and caring act that I admire and respect. Thank you Russell for bringing Pacho and a great relationship into our lives. Your knowledge in the training and compassion for animals merit the recognition it deserves!
