My dog has benefited from my improved handling but also from the weekly practice with Ace. He has helped us refine our approach to obstacle performance by challenging us.

He has helped me immensely with methods to motivate my dogs, and always has good, constructive criticism to correct any handling errors I might make.

a lot of experience, knowledge, drive and passion for this sport and that is exactly what anyone who would like to be involved in agility should look for in a teacher.

I have enjoyed Ace??s clear teaching style as well as his sense of humor and would definitely recommend him as an agility instructor.

His classes focus on specific skills that directly help us in competitive trials and improve our chances of getting clean runs.

I always look forward to my class with Ace but not as much as Sassy does. Keeps everyone challenged and having fun all through the class.

I have been taking weekly agility classes with Ace for two years. I have found his instructional style to be focused and direct, quickly identifying handler errors and giving corrective feedback. I have enjoyed Ace??s clear teaching style as well as his sense of humor and would definitely recommend him as an agility instructor.

I've been taking agility lessons from Ace Russell at Agility Center of East Tennessee (ACET) for over 2 years. Despite me being a first time dog owner and pretty stubborn, Ace was very patient with me and my dogs. I always look forward to our agility lessons because Ace makes it so much fun for me and the dogs - and my dogs absolutely adore Ace.

Ace clearly enjoys teaching agility. Each class is taught with enthusiasm, a great sense of humor, and a sharp eye for detail. His systematic approach for teaching the 'rules' of handling make it so much easier for me when I compete at agility trials. He has helped me immensely with methods to motivate my dogs, and always has good, constructive criticism to correct any handling errors I might make. I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking about taking up the sport of agility, even if you think you don't want to compete. He just might convert you!

I've never been interested in showing my dog, and she's 100% Purebred Mutt, but I like ACET's approach and goals. What I really wanted to work on with my girl was building her confidence in herself, and building my confidence in her to respond and listen to me even when she's off leash. Ace worked incredibly well with both of us, and my relationship with Mila is better because of it. We've even watched some of the 'Agility Parties,' because even though she's not ready for it, it's amazing to watch all of the student pairs go to work. I'd recommend this program to anyone who is looking for a long term training solution based on mutual trust and communication.
