FirstBarkWe have a very stubborn dog and Dog Ops was still able to train him better than what we were expecting. Friends and family have made comments about how much better of a dog he is. Friends have since asked to be referred. I highly recommend them. It is well worth the cost. They also work with you to ensure you can continue to train you dog.

These guys are awesome! They discuss what you want for your dog and work towards that end goal! I can’t say enough good things about them. If you want top-notch training that works, look no further. If I had to guess, I was probably harder to train than my dog. They do continual follow-up and answer all questions. These guys know what they are doing.

My wild pitbull, Hank, was sent to Dog Ops' four-week program and returned 1000 times better. Before going, he always pulled on the leash, did not listen to anyone, jumped on everyone he saw, and terrorized everything in the house. After all his training, he's a service dog and can go out in public without being a terrible dog (compliments everywhere he goes now). Every dollar was worth it, Hank is the easiest dog I have ever had (now). If you want the best version of your sweet pup, this is the place to be!

Until this summer, we had always owned Labrador Retrievers, but then we welcomed our Corgi, Ruckus, into our family. It quickly became clear that we were in over our heads with this little bundle of energy, who we affectionately referred to as our "tiny terrorist." After searching for assistance, we found Dog Ops LLC, and it was the BEST DECISION EVER. In just four weeks, George and Adam transformed Ruckus into a well-behaved, balanced dog. But their support didn't stop there; they conducted home visits to train us, ensuring we could maintain the progress they had achieved. Their knowledge of canine behavior is astounding, and their communication, including video updates, was invaluable in easing my worries. We even received a thoughtful text checking in on Ruckus's enjoyment of the recent snow! Now, we have a dog that listens to us and is welcome anywhere we go. We were initially concerned that Ruckus's personality might change through this process, but we’re happy to report he is still the same lovable dog—just one who listens and responds to commands. This program was worth every penny, and we cannot recommend Dog Ops LLC highly enough!

I highly recommend Dog Ops! I was at wits end with my 8 month old mini golden doodle because she was VERY reactive so it was a daily struggle to take her on walks or out in public so I knew I needed to get her trained. George was great at explaining the program and answering all my questions. I decided to go with the four week board and train with four private sessions. I got Rosie back a week early and she was a completely different dog. I am now able to take her to stores and around other dogs without her barking. She isn't 100% perfect, she tries to get away with some things, but I know how to provide a correction if needed. The private sessions really solidified how to give a correction and how to hold Rosie up to my standards. George and Adam took great care of Rosie and always sent video and status updates. I felt comfortable leaving her in their care and I could tell they really enjoy what they do so I knew Rosie was in good hands. Again, I highly recommend Dog Ops!
