I truly believe finding Dog Ops Dog Training was one of the best things that could have happened for my family, especially me. When I first met George, what stood out immediately was his transparency and complete honesty. He didn’t just focus on “fixing” my dog — he helped me understand that I needed training just as much as she did. That realization changed everything for me. Lulu is 52 pounds of solid muscle and pure excitement. She loves people, she loves other dogs, and she feels everything at full volume. Living in an apartment community, that level of energy can quickly become overwhelming. I often felt anxious about walks and unpredictable situations. George didn’t judge — he educated. He empowered me. He showed me how to step into a leadership role with calm confidence so Lulu could feel secure and guided instead of overstimulated. What I’ve gained goes far beyond obedience commands. I’ve learned how to truly communicate with my dog. I’ve learned how much my energy affects her behavior. I’ve learned that giving her the best life isn’t just about good food, regular vet visits, and loving her with my whole heart — it’s about structure, clarity, and consistency. Because of George, I feel more confident. Lulu feels more balanced. And our bond is stronger than ever. If you’re even considering training, don’t hesitate. Dog Ops doesn’t just train dogs — they transform relationships.

George and Adam of Dog Ops did an exceptional job working with my wife and me on training our newest addition, Lulu. She is an American Staffordshire Terrier full of energy and personality, and we had recently adopted her from a previous owner who was no longer able to care for her. We were looking for training that went beyond basic commands and focused on meaningful structure, behavior, and quality of life—both for Lulu and for us, especially given that we live in an apartment and regularly encounter other dogs and people. One of the first things that stood out was that both George and Adam are veterans with experience working with military dogs. Their depth of knowledge goes far beyond standard obedience training; they clearly understand canine psychology and how to bring out the best in each dog. We ultimately chose the four-week board and train program, which proved to be an outstanding value considering the level of professionalism, communication, and results delivered. From the beginning, their service was top-notch. George took the time on a Sunday to speak with us in detail, understand our goals, and explain their training options thoroughly. Both George and Adam also conducted an in-home meet and greet, which demonstrated their commitment to building trust and understanding each dog’s environment. They intentionally limit their training group to six to eight dogs at a time to ensure each one receives individualized attention, reinforcing that their focus is on quality outcomes rather than volume. During Lulu’s board and train, Adam personally picked her up, and throughout the program we received regular updates, including texts, photos, and videos showing her progress. At the end of the program, George returned Lulu and conducted a comprehensive one-on-one session with us to review what she had learned and to ensure we understood how to maintain and build upon her training. The program also included four additional private sessions, which further reinforced their commitment to long-term success. Another feature that sets them apart is their boarding service, which is exclusively available to dogs they have trained. We had a family cruise scheduled shortly after adopting Lulu, and knowing she could board in a structured environment with trainers she already trusted gave us tremendous peace of mind while also reinforcing her training. I highly recommend Dog Ops to anyone seeking professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated dog training. George and Adam’s expertise, communication, and genuine care made a lasting impact, and we are incredibly grateful for the work they put into helping Lulu—and us—build a better life together.

I can’t say enough great things about this facility and the two owners: Adam and George. My dog went from an energetic, not listening puppy to a well trained , listening ( with some lapses but that’s expected and she responds to corrections ) and leash walking is a wonderful thing. Once training is over and it lasts four weeks, they came back every week for three weeks. I told them there was nothing that I was worried about. The follow up is for life if I encounter a problem that they haven’t fixed, I can call them back and they will be right here . The customer service is outstanding. Sorry about the lengthy response but it is from the heart of a very satisfied customer

I have a year old Rottweiler, Drake who was very rambunctious. He didn't listen, jumped on me all the time and I could not walk him on a leash, excessive pulling. It was a chore to take care of him as he was unmanageable. When I reached out to Dog OPS, LLC, George took the time and explained the program. I asked a lot of questions and kept him on the phone for over an hour. I decided to set up a meet and greet, evaluation. After meeting George and Adam, I signed Drake up for the 4 week program. They came to my home at my convenience and off he went to his training After a few days I received a video of Drakes progress and couldn't believe my eyes. Is that my Drake sitting, staying, listening to commands? I was blown away with his progress; he was only there a few days. It was exciting to watch videos and see Drakes progress each week; I looked forward to it. When they brought Drake to my house after 4 weeks, I about cried. He listened and was very responsive. They took the time ro go over all of the commands and made sure I did everything properly, including the use of the E Collar. It was a lot of information to take in but I was eager to learn. During the course of the 1st couple of days it was a little frustrating but trusted the process and kept applying what I had learned. George and Adam have been coming to my house once a week to assist me with Drake and going over commands. Each week was getting better and better. My confidence has grown while working with Drake each day. I continued to trust the process while learning how to apply the commands into our daily routine. Drake does not jump on me, he walks great on the leash and no longer pulls. He is obedient, sits, downs and even lengthy stays. He no longer chases the cat in my room. I can honestly say that Dog OPS, LLC exceeded my expectations. This whole program and process has brought Drake and I much closer together. I look forward to coming home and working with him. We have grown so much more closer and the rewards of doing this has been more than what I could ever imagine. Thank you Dog, OPS, LLC for making this possible. Both George and Adam take pride in their work and definitely know what they are doing. If you are looking for dog trainers, look know further. They certainly made a believer out of me when I didn't think it was possible with my dog. My only regret is that I didn't sign up sooner. Thank you Dog, LLC for everything!!!
