I can’t say enough good things about Dog Ops, LLC! They didn’t just train my dog Rue—they trained me as well. Before working with them, Rue struggled with distractions, especially around other dogs and in public places. Now, she’s absolutely rock-solid no matter the situation.
Rue responds instantly to every command, even off-leash, which has given me so much confidence and freedom. Whether it’s walking calmly at heel, holding a stay in busy environments, or just relaxing on her place while life happens around her, she’s flawless.
What impressed me most was how much time they spent teaching me how to communicate clearly and effectively with Rue. It wasn’t just about sending her off to learn—it was about making sure our partnership is strong and reliable for the long run.
If you’re serious about having a dog you can take anywhere with total confidence, Dog Ops is the team to trust. They truly deliver life-changing results. Rue and I are living proof!

Highly recommend Dog Ops, LLC. We sent our one year old Goldendoodle, Scout, in August and are very pleased with the results. He went from being a challenging dog to a very well trained dog. George and Adam are knowledgeable and professional. Great follow-up as well. They spent time with us every week for four weeks after Scout came home and Scout was always excited to see them. For these visits, we were the ones being trained. Very glad we did this!

Dog Ops was great with our dog, Otis. We did the 4 week training program for his fear based reactivity towards other dogs. We have seen a major improvement in Otis & feel much more equipped to handle the reactivity going forward. Otis has been very responsive to the training. We loved how they approached training with firm tactics, but also general understanding and support of Otis. The follow up in house sessions were extremely helpful for us to put the training in to place at home. We would definitely recommend!

My sweet pup has almost been out of training for a year now and he is still killing it!! He is a service dog and comes out with us often, and gets compliments all the time. And while out in public he is behaved and I don’t have to worry about him he still has his crazy and funny personality at home! Truly amazing the work Dog Opps did. I will definitely be using Dog Ops again!

Wow! Such amazing trainers who handled my pup Charlie’s training with the utmost professionalism. Everyone kept me updating with videos and texts during the four weeks Charlie was away. The trainer Adam brought Charlie home and taught us everything we needed to continue Charlie’s success at home. Adam also followed up with at home sessions every week until we were comfortable with everything Charlie had learned. Charlie continues to learn new things at home with the techniques the trainers shared with us. I cannot thank Dog Ops enough for the lifelong skills they taught Charlie and our family.
