    Our puppy went to the Puppy Day School and it was a great experience for her. She learned a lot and got very well socialized. She also did many of the training classes offered.

    She made friends!

    Our rescue Dalmatian puppy attended Crossbones four years ago in the old facility. The training provided us a very well socialized dog.

    The dog loves going here. Once we say "daycare" to him in the mornings he goes nuts. I just want my dog to be 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!

    I came to Strategick-9 in desperate need of training for my reactive dog, Odin, after a biting…read moreincident involving a family member. Here's my experience. Sydney appeared on the surface to be a knowledgeable dog trainer but she lacks effective communication skills and applies questionable methods in her training of reactive dogs. While my primary issue resides in her poor communication I do recall one occasion where she pulled Odin's slip lead so tight while he was barking at a dog passing by that you could hear it choking him. We had multiple sessions that had same day cancellations on their end. Which is a double standard considering their policy for their customers requires at least 24 hours notice or it will result in a loss of a session or a $65 fee. They definitely value their time and money more than yours. On one occasion I had to reach out to her the morning of our scheduled session to confirm we were still on. She responded 6 hours prior to our session that she had an evaluation that was going to overlap because she forgot to follow up with me. The appointment was rescheduled. On a separate occasion we had a group training session scheduled but the other dogs canceled an hour and a half prior to the session. She said she would reach out that day or the next to reschedule. Two weeks had passed and I hadn't heard a word. I had to reach out to her. She replied by saying "my b for not getting back to you, weekends have been busy busy." We had an exchange via text and she ultimately decided she no longer wanted to work together and she put me in contact with Joe. He offered two sessions with him or a $250 refund. I paid $2,500 up front with the agreement that Odin's training didn't have a set number of sessions but rather we would work with him until he was good to go. Joe undermined that agreement when he offered only 2 sessions. Had he decided to honor my previous agreement with Sydney I would have taken that offer. I didn't agree on the $250 refund since they had only accomplished basic obedience training with Odin. Which he was already well versed in when in a calm environment. One session consisted of her feeding Odin Pirates Booty from a muzzle for 40 minutes. They said in their session confirmations that the session will last an hour. Very rarely was this the case and most of our sessions ran below that time frame. Odin's real issue was resource guarding and his reactivity to other dogs and children. That training was never completed. I do take responsibility for removing the rubber piece off of the e-collar because I thought it was on there to protect water from getting in and I was attempting to charge it. However, the new e-collar they ordered had been in for some time and we never began working with it. Also, they get the cheapest e-collars they can pass with. You're better off buying your own. Which I did. Even though I didn't agree on the $250 refund Joe took it upon himself to refund it to my account anyway. I also never received the new e-collar which he stated was the reason he wouldn't refund more. As a side note, they claim to make training plans that adapt to the dog and the owners needs. Sydney never asked me to demonstrate how Odin walked with me on leash. Rather she had a generic format she implemented instead. At the end of the day I feel they're highly dependent on the e-collar for their training, have very poor customer service and need to develop a stronger work ethic. I would highly recommend seeking training from a more reputable, professional and qualified trainer.
