FirstBarkOur dog, Oaks, absolutely loved Luke! He was always happy to see him and eager to go to work. We have multiple dogs and Luke was able to focus on Oaks, yet provide us with ideas for all of our furry friends behaviors. I would highly recommend Luke and his expertise!

We had such a good experience with Operation Good Dog. We did the puppy course for our new rescue puppy Lucy, and Luke was amazing! He is very knowledgeable and super easy to follow in his instruction. Lucy learned so much over the 4 weeks! He also gives you a training plan every week that includes videos and tons of good information that you can use as a resource as you continue to train your pup. Thank you so much Luke!
Luke is extremely knowledgeable and knows how to transmit that knowledge in plain language - I've learned so much. My dogs LOVE him and respond to him very well. I've seen a huge improvement in my reactive puppy and now feel well equipped to continue working with her on my own. Highly recommend!
Luke was amazing to work with! My husband and I had a great experience with learning how to, not only help with obedience with our reactive dog, but also learn his emotions and small whisper cues that mean he is uncomfortable! By the end of the six weeks we were so much more equipped to be able to help our reactive dog live his life to the fullest without reacting to other dogs. Thank you Luke!
We did training with Luke for our 2 dogs and are so happy with our lessons! Luke was patient with our reactive dog and has helped her make continuous improvements!
