I am always impressed by his genuine nature, especially the way he includes my daughter, 8 years old, in our training. He listens, is patient, flexible, communicative, and full of awesome ideas. We came to him with a very likable, but strong willed 10 month Great Dane. Our biggest concerns were his leash pulling, and exuberant greetings with guests. With Joe's expertise and our consistency, we are in such a good, less stressful place with our dog and household. My 8 year old can even walk him comfortably (see pic). Thank you Joe and Diligent Dog Training!

We are a high paced, group based facility where all dogs get a chance to run off some energy. Our services include: daycare, overnight, and training. Our daycare and overnight approach is designed for safe play, exercise and socialization. We strongly believe in creating a comfortable and inviting environment where the true focus is the individual pet's personality. Where other places see price tags applied to these animals, we see an opportunity to learn and allow each pet the catalyst to maximize their potential. The idea is to put you, the customer, at ease with the large responsibility you incur when owning and caring for a pet.

Dogs are pack animals and thrive in community. Michaela has built the perfect community for all of…read moremy dogs to truly shine. Om Obedience changed my life! I met Michaela before Om when I was looking for training for my first dog, my 2 year old corgi/dachshund who wasn't a fan of dogs, and quite honestly, didn't consider himself to even be a dog. Ozzie was a fantastic dog, and Michaela helped him realize that potential! Fast forward a few years when I ended up with a 1-2 year old pittbull/mastiff who was all dog. Big dog. Strong dog. Loud dog. Stubborn dog. I was frantically searching for Michaela and couldn't find her, until I stumbled upon the Om Obedience raffle package at the Yogathon. I put all my tickets into this raffle, and didn't win, but I ended up a winner because I was reconnected with Michaela and was at the very beginning of my most rewarding dog journey (so far!) Overwhelmed, but determined not to give up on Taz, I began a lifelong commitment to training my dog(s). Many (many) classes and pack walks later, Taz earned his Canine Good Citizen certification and even made it to Advanced Canine Good Citizen: accomplishments I never thought we'd see. Taz changed me in so many amazing, positive ways, and I never would have seen that growth in myself if I hadn't had the support and commitment of Michaela and Om Obedience. When I decided to get a puppy (I always said I'd NEVER get a puppy), Om was my first call! Knowing I knew nothing about puppies, I booked myself a training session before I even met Onyx. Michaela laid out the basics and prepared me for my baby piranha (and the how-tos on housetraining!) I was very pleased to have a plan in place for my very first puppy, and a plan for introducing him to my now senior dog Taz, and maintaining a peaceful home throughout this transition. Onyx came home and we spent a few weeks bonding and doing all the things Michaela recommended, and then we started classes! I was so excited to start this new chapter with my puppy :) Onyx started puppy preschool with Maddie, and continued on to elementary with his new bff. Maddie is a great addition to the Om team, and to my life as well! To date, Onyx has completed MANY Om Obedience classes with Maddie and Michaela and has attended countless pack walks. He gets complements on his stellar behavior everywhere we go! I couldn't be more proud of my baby boy. And now Onyx is the best big brother ever to his human sister Hazel. Once again, Michaela was my first call when I found out I was pregnant, and I booked a few in home training sessions before the baby came to prepare Taz and Onyx for her arrival. Sadly, Taz crossed the rainbow bridge before Hazel's arrival. Luckily, Taz and Michaela did an amazing job preparing Onyx for his big brother role and he has been great throughout these life changing transitions. We made it through the 4th trimester, the 3 am feedings, the waiting for mom to finish feeding baby before she lets Onyx out to pee.. We've perfected the baby/puppy walk with the stroller or baby carrier. We've gone on some pretty awesome family nature walks. We excel at relaxing on the couch and sharing space! Right now we are working through the transition of Mom going back to work and using all of our tools in our toolbox: dog walkers, doggie daycare, baby/daddy/Onyx walks, playtime with the neighbor dog friends. Up next is another round of intermediate training for Onyx, with Mom wearing a Hazel! Our family 5 year plan is to add another Rottweiler to our pack, and you know who's going to be the first to know when that happens ;)

I have to update my review as we've now been working with Michaela & team for longer and could not…read morebe more happy. I highly recommend Om Obedience and would encourage anyone to sign their dog up for their classes and lessons! I first started working with Om Obedience in the summer of 2020 when I adopted a pandemic puppy, Delilah. Michaela and Maddie helped work with her as she grew up and went through over energetic periods and fear periods. We stayed consistent with the classes through adolescence and not only did Delilah LOVE THEM, but we also always saw improvements and learned a lot. We then worked with Michaela on private lessons before welcoming a human baby. Michaela helped desensitize Delilah to the baby noises and toys, practiced stroller walks, gave us so many tips and tricks to safely have baby and dog coexist, and was incredibly patient and persistent with getting Delilah to jump in the car and go up and down our basement stairs (two things we couldn't get her to do in the 2+ years we had Delilah). When the baby arrived, we felt so prepared with Delilah and Delilah has been great at being a big sister and isn't anxious at all with the change.. which if you know Delilah, that is incredible!

We are so glad that we sent our 2 year old Basenji mix Parker to Sit Means Sit for boarding and…read moretraining for a week. Before SMS, Parker was extremely difficult to control during neighborhood walks. As soon as he sensed that another dog (or human) was nearby, he would roar like a lion and try to chew off his leash. At home if he heard anyone waking by our house (and heaven forbid if he heard people talking outside) he would go berserk. He had broken two widows in our living room trying to get outside. Lastly when the mailman or UPS visited us, Parker would roar and scratch and claw the front door like he was trying the knock it down to get outside. When Dave brought Parker home after a week at SMS, he gave us back the dog we love and new behaviors to match. Before Dave left, two of the dogs that Parker disliked the most walked by our house with their owners. Parker sat quietly while both dogs walked passed him. No roaring or leash chewing. Parker has been home for 5 days and we utilize the techniques that Dave taught to Parker and us. We know that consistency is critical and Parker has a discipline that we never thought we'd see.
