Elite Care | Decades of Experience | Exclusive Results

Since 1986, I have dedicated my life to understanding, training, and elevating the lives of dogs and their owners. Beginning my career as a groomer under the guidance of AKC show handlers and groomers, along with a wide range of grooming mentors, I quickly realized that dogs are more than companions—they are true partners deserving of structure, clarity, and respect. Over the years, I expanded my craft across grooming, behavior, and training, creating a foundation of expertise that now spans more than three decades.

The Journey to Lucky Dog Training

In 2020, I formally established Lucky Dog Training—a professional training business rooted in Balanced Training principles and designed to provide lasting transformation for dogs and their families. Through Lucky Dog Training, I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of dogs across the Coachella Valley during the Covid Shut downs, building a reputation for practical solutions, clear communication, and results that endure long after the sessions are complete.

The Evolution: Marko Russell – Dog Lifestyle Services

While Lucky Dog Training continues to thrive, my vision has evolved into something greater: the creation of Marko Russell – Dog Lifestyle Services. This exclusive brand represents the pinnacle of canine care—a highly curated blend of training, grooming, and lifestyle management, tailored for discerning owners who expect nothing less than excellence.

As a Dog Lifestyle Specialist, I go beyond traditional training. My programs integrate every dimension of canine life—behavior, socialization, appearance, and overall well-being—into a seamless system designed to fit into your lifestyle with precision and ease. Access to these services is intentionally limited, ensuring that each client receives unparalleled attention, discretion, and quality of care.
