Miller & Miller Dog Training, operating as Albree Dog Training since 1982, provides professional dog training services in the greater Sacramento area. Founded by Alan and Renee Miller, the business specializes in positive reinforcement-based training that emphasizes humane, effective communication between dogs and their owners. They offer both private lessons at the client’s home or chosen location and group classes held in park settings to help dogs learn obedience and manage distractions. Their expertise includes solving aggression, reactivity, and other behavior problems, with Renee’s 20 years as a veterinary technician allowing them to identify potential medical causes behind behavioral issues. They tailor training to each dog’s breed, temperament, and motivation, drawing on over 37 years of combined experience in obedience, search and rescue, therapy work, herding, Schutzhund, and more.

Their group classes are structured into Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced levels, designed for puppies over 4 months old and dogs with prior training. Private lessons are available for dogs with specific issues like biting, barking, jumping, separation anxiety, or resource guarding, and are ideal for those unable to attend group sessions. They also support clients pursuing therapy dog certification, competition titles, and service dog goals.

The trainers have earned numerous titles with multiple breeds through organizations like the American Kennel Club and have been recognized by therapy dog programs such as Lend A Heart for their support in recruiting and certifying teams.
