These guys are the real deal! Our 6 year old pit, Stark has a history of reaction/aggression. With a baby on the way we decided it was time to look into serious training. We called around and were left feeling pretty hopeless after a couple other places made it seem like it wasn’t possible. But after talking with Dog Opps they assured us it was nothing they couldn’t/ haven’t handled before and were more than comfortable working with our boy. We opted for the 3 week board and train, during which we received a ton of updates, pictures and videos of Stark’s progress. When we got him back we were so impressed with the amount of structure he received in such a short time. He was like a new dog. He ended up showing some regression in his leash work at one of the private sessions and they did not hessitate to carve out extra time to correct it! We’ve had him back for over a month now and he’s retained everything he was taught! I could go on and on but all you need to know is that if they can get through to Stark, I don’t doubt that they can get through to your pup. Trusting someone with your dog is a big decision so make sure you’re going with trainers who KNOW what they’re doing!! (Aka these guys!)

The crew from DOG OPS is top notch! They are well worth the price of training. Our Rottweiler, Rosie, was 9 months old when she went through the training. She would pull on the leash excessively during walks, and wouldn’t want to listen to commands when off leash. Kenny was our main handler, and she did a wonderful job. You couldn’t find three people who care almost as much about your dog as you do. She, Adam and George were great. We opted for the four week plan and I think the extra week ingrained everything Rosie learned the first three weeks, plus a bit more. Plus, the videos they send showed progress during the four weeks of training. She came back to us with the same fun loving personality, but you couldn’t believe the metamorphosis. Every box that my wife and I needed corrected was checked. The follow up visits with Adam and George really helped us understand how to work with our dog, and how to interact with Rosie to ensure we understood what our dog expected from us as well. YES… we received a bit of training too! Overall very pleased… if we get another pup, once they are old enough, my first call will be to the group at DOG OPS! Thanks again to all of you!

100% recommend! Adam and George were extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. We opted for the 4 week board and train program, when we got our girl back she was amazing! Complete 180*! We have done 4 at home sessions since then (mainly to train us) and I couldn’t be happier. Not only was the training a complete success, but she didn’t lose her personality and is still an extremely loving girl. We are now looking at sending our other girl to them as well.

I can’t say enough good things about Dog Ops and their amazing team—George, Adam, and Kenny were all phenomenal! We sent our dog through their board and train program, and the transformation was incredible. From the start, the communication was excellent. They kept us updated throughout the process and made us feel totally at ease. It was clear our dog was in caring, professional hands. George, Adam, and Kenny not only worked wonders with our pup’s behavior, but they also made sure we felt confident continuing the training at home. Our dog came back happier, more focused, and so well-behaved—we’re truly blown away. If you’re on the fence about a board and train program, Dog Ops is 100% the way to go. They’ve changed our lives (and our dog’s!) for the better. Thank you guys!!

We had Dog Ops train a rambunctious pitbull puppy that was constantly out of hand around the house and on leash. We were so happy with the result that once we got a new puppy we had Dog Ops train her as well. We are currently in the at home phase of training with our second pup through the program and have a baby on the way. When they came for a training session and found out about the baby they volunteered to help us get the dogs prepared for when the baby comes home. I cannot recommend Dog Ops enough. They are not only great trainers, but great people as well.
