FirstBarkLuke's private lessons were awesome and he really helped our pup. He is very professional and patient and had unique advice we hadn't heard before. We did a three package session in which we were amazed how much we were able to accomplish. We look forward to working with Luke again in the future andI highly recommend Operation Good Dog.

Luke was great. Quite the dog whisperer. Our two dachshunds took to him right away. He helped us to understand how to interact with our dogs, helping them to feel safe and calm. In turn they learned to follow our direction and guidance. One thing the Luke taught us at the very beginning, is that dogs don't understand what we say to them but respond to our energy. By being calm, encouraging and rewarding positive behavior we will have a more enjoyable relationship with our little ones. We are sure finding that to be true. I wouldn't definitely recommend hiring Luke to help you with training your dogs, but more importantly to train you to change your behavior. Then your dogs will follow your lead.
Luke is amazing! Along with being highly experienced and great with training our dog Luna, Luke is also very friendly and makes the training experience very easy and fun. My wife and I couldn’t recommend Luke enough for any training needs!
Operation Good Dog has been a huge help in training our reactive rescue dog! As a dog owner, I've learned so much from Luke and I appreciate his calm and positive approach. Whether you're looking for basic obedience or behavioral help, Luke is your guy! Highly recommend Operation Good Dog.
