Welcome to The Academy of Modern Canine Behaviour and Training


At The Academy of Modern Behaviour and Training, we pride ourselves on creating fun, friendly and motivational training for dogs and owners. We want you to enjoy our course and learn as much as you can to build a happy and trusting relationship with your dog.
To do this we work using reward based, up to date and force-free, motivational methods. We do not advocate any force, pain, intimidation or coercion in any of our training methods. These out dated methods have been proven to be counter-productive and detrimental to the health and welfare of the dog. Creating a good positive bond with our dogs requires mutual trust and respect which we will build on in our courses.

He has trained his own dogs to compete at Championship level in obedience competition, running his own Dog Training Clubs as well as taking classes at other clubs. Advising and curing many social, behavioural, aggressive and training problems in dogs over the years has given him a wealth of experience and knowledge in this field.

Russell is also a regular Fully Qualified Kennel Club Championship Class ‘C’ Obedience Show Judge and was very proud to have been honoured by The Kennel Club, to Judge The Y.K.C.

Russell is a devout dog lover through and through, his methods are based entirely on building confidence and ‘the want to do it factor’ in the dog. Russell is currently taking classes at The Academy of Modern Canine Behaviour and Training, Portsmouth Branch as well as seeing clients whose dogs have behaviour issues at the centre but mainly in their own homes countrywide.

Finding Good Dog Training Classes and especially Quality Canine Behaviour Advice nowadays can be a nightmare and in the long term extremely expensive to both the dog owner and more so ‘the dog’, who with bad advice and/or training could end up paying the ultimate price! There is, at present no legislation as to who can call themselves a dog trainer or even more worryingly a ‘Dog Behaviour Expert’, unfortunately many totally unqualified and inexperienced people are calling themselves just that, causing stress, misery and heartbreak to families and not curing or even causing untold problems in dogs with bad and poor advice and training methods. They are basically ripping people off, so please beware when scanning around for the cheapest price etc. It is our belief that around 50% of Dog Training Classes are run by Unqualified and Inexperienced people, whilst around 80% of ‘Dog Behaviour Consultants’, are totally Unqualified and Inexperienced. Do you really want to expose your beloved dog to these people?


Come to the experts at The Academy of Modern Canine Behaviour & Training, we have many years of Experience and our Qualified Canine Behaviour and Dog Training Consultants can have you and your dog feeling more confident in no time.
