About Albree Dog Training

Based on what the business publishes about itself

Alan and Renee Miller have run Albree Dog Training since 1982, bringing over three decades of experience each to their work with dogs. According to their website, both trainers have backgrounds spanning obedience, search and rescue, therapy dog preparation, herding, and protection sports like Schutzhund and French Ring. Renee also worked as a veterinary technician for twenty years, experience she says helps her recognize when medical issues might be contributing to a dog's behavior problems.

The business highlights aggression and behavior problem solving as its primary focus, offering private lessons for dogs with serious behavioral concerns. They also run group obedience classes from beginner through advanced levels, including competition preparation, and provide training for service and emotional support dogs. Their site describes an approach built on positive reinforcement, with the trainers noting they adapt their methods to fit each dog rather than applying a single technique across the board.

Based in Sacramento, Albree has been operating in the area for over four decades. The trainers state they've earned titles and awards in AKC events with multiple breeds, and they advertise guaranteed results, a claim worth discussing directly with them to understand what it covers.
