Very nice people. Unfortunately were unable to board my senior dog at the Singer Rd, Joppatowne, MD location. Unless you enroll your dog for training classes they don't provide boarding services. But they did refer me to Hickory Kennel in Harford County for boarding/kennel services.

Our puppy loves this place and so do we! They work with him for the day and he gets to play with his friends in a safe controlled environment. He also comes home tired which is a bonus.

BLK9 has been a lifesaver! Our dog came from Iraq last year, full of fear and anxiety which presented as aggression. She is a large dog and was very hard to handle in every way. In just a few short months, we have a different dog!
Everyone at BLK9 has been wonderful to work with. They are very knowledgeable and responsive. Working with both our dog … and us has been a great experience.

At this point, Blue Line K-9 is family! They have been a life saver for us! Our Snoopy loves everyone at Blue Line! We wouldn't trust anyone else with him. Thank you for ALL you have done for us! We are eternally grateful!

I brought my rescued GSD to Blueline in January of 2021. She was a little over a year old and was an abuse case from an Amish puppy mill. There had been instances where she bit people, and other dogs, and as an owner it was the most terrifying thing I’d ever endured. I was terrified I’d lose my baby, and I hated how scared she was. Blueline K9 helped me identify that she was indeed fear aggressive and developed a plan specifically for my dog. We started with K9 Country Club to boost her confidence level and help her realize not everything was a threat, and then moved onto the Ultimate training program. My girl finished her training in the Summer of 2021, and to this day I still take her to Blueline 2 days a week. Now the rest of my dogs go there as well, especially my working breeds. Whether it’s something big or small Blueline can handle it. If I could give them a 100/10 I would. They’ve not only given my dogs the confidence they need, but as an owner I have it too, and that is priceless in my book.
Their entire staff genuinely cares about your dogs the same way you do. There is no other trainer I would ever trust with my dogs. Hands down, they’re the best in the business and no one will tell me otherwise.

Everyone is very knowledgeable, friendly, understanding, and accommodating to me and my pup at Blue Line! We have really enjoyed our experience. My pup has been challenging in many ways and everyone at Blue Line is happy and ready to jump in and help us.

Russ Norcross Owner/Trainer
Russ Norcross resides with his family in Cape May, New Jersey. Russ is an avid believer in the strong bond between dogs and their humans. Russ’s passion for the bond to training relationship drove him to a career in dog training and ultimately to becoming the Owner and Master Trainer of Blue Line K-9 Cape May, New Jersey.
Russ started training as a child, alongside his family who raised Rottweilers. He learned very early on that the bond you have with a dog is what builds the training you and your dog are capable of. This realization pushed him to develop and push past the skills needed for foundational obedience for the house hold pet. Russ spent 20 years in the police department, most of that time as a K9 Handler, Trainer and leader for the police departments K9 teams. His achievements in and out of the police department saw him reach several achievements and certifications, including the development of national certification courses and a full accreditation course curriculum through Garret County Community college in Maryland. As Russ’s career grew, he was motivated to help families develop the bonds with their dogs that he knew would give them success in more than everyday obedience. This motivation moved Russ to begin training dogs outside of the police department as he neared his retirement from his service as a police officer.
Soon after Russ’s retirement he joined Michael Soler in Blue Line K-9, Inc. and opened Blue Line K-9 Cape May, New Jersey. In this venture he is excited to help more families build solid relationships with their tail-wagging family members and help them develop solid training in avenues that are fun and enjoyable. If Russ isn’t out and about working with a client, you will find him spending time with his family and pets, helping work on and develop more trailing and tracking experiences for handlers or taking the time to learn more about canines and the dog training industry.
