If I could give more than 5 stars I would! We sent our two cane corso pups for the 4 week board and train. We interviewed a few other trainers in the area and toured their sites. Reason why we chose Dog ops: Their facility was well thought out and the detail behind the level of comfort was top notch. It was a temperature controlled, clean, and each dog had ample room for its stay. They had their own outdoor area for each hand made kennel space. I believe they were 5x5. We knew they really put in alot of effort to make sure the pups were in a clean comfortable, no stress environment for their stay. Might as well been a 5 star hotel 😆. Their training resume was impressive. Military handlers was their experience and so we knew our dogs would get the best training from the best handlers. I also had a few people on socials agree they were the trainers to use. Their communication during the whole 4 weeks was great, even sending us videos of their progress. Even though we didnt opt in to see the pups during the 4 week training , (we didnt want to stunt their progress) they offered and were very flexible in meeting anywhere we preffered. The transition was so easy once the pups came home. It was our turn to train and both trainers took their time each week coming out to our home to make sure we understand the hand signals, the commands, how to use the collars (they were included in the price) and how to successfully speak the same language. We never felt rushed and they offered to meet anywhere we would normally go with the dogs, parks, stores, home ect. Cost was the same in the general market so no comparison there but I would have paid more for their exceptional training skills and care. Lastly, lifetime support. Each week when they came to do our training the dogs were so excited to see them both and the lifetime support is a nice perk. Anytime we have a question they are willing to help us work through it. Our dogs are well trained now and we know this large breed will be well mannered wherever we take them. The training was more than we expected and was next level. We hope much success to these Vets cause their passion for these dogs and the attention to detail is priceless. Do yourself a favor and go with Dog Ops, you will not regret it. You will be writing a super long exceptional review like me one day 😆. Cassel family ROCKY & APOLLO 🐾🐾

I sent my dog "Finn" an Old English Bulldog for training. He had been introduced to the basics before he went. The trainers at Dog Ops took him to the next level. Finn is obedient and well behaved anywhere I take him. The trainers are professional and know there job. I will continue with them for future training. I highly recommend them if you want your dog to behave in any situation.

We brought an unruly, nearly 3 year old Golden Retriever to DOG OPS,desperate for a way to gain control of his wild urges. What DO did in 4 weeks was remarkable. They got through to our dog in ways we couldn't imagine. They also taught us the methods needed to follow through with him after he returned home. We often remark that what they did in 4 weeks was what eluded us for 3 years. The results were worth what we paid for the training and the follow up! The instructors came to our home for several weeks to help us reinforce their training and bolster the habits they were able to instill in him. Now we have an energetic dog who can behave well when company comes to visit. Thank you for your time,patience and the continued interest in Jake. He is so much more fun and enjoyable to live and play with!
