Raising a puppy during Covid has been exhausting to say the least. I enrolled our newest family member Blueberry into Puppy preschool where he was shy and timid around the other friends. Michaela helped pair him with other similar pups to socialize and he began to blossom now that he was more comfortable. When I tell you this little man screamed all through the first classes, you would leave with a headache. Om Obedience didn't kick us out of class, instead gave us tips to work together to improve his confidence. We enrolled in some private lessons and Elementary Obedience which ended up being paused shortly after due to Covid. Thankfully I had already learned skills to work on with Blueberry to keep us on the right track. When classes resumed, with the lack of socialization Blueberry had developed a terrible habit of barking at his friends. Worse, he was scared again and scaring everyone else as he got his big boy bark in quarantine. Michaela worked with us during classes so we could still participate. Fast forward we are now in Intermediate II with some great new friends that we don't bark at anymore. We learn something new at every single class and a good trainer is the best investment you will ever make for your dog. Om Obedience is the best choice and I couldn't be happier with our training journey as Blueberry grows. Thank you Michaela for everything you do to help us be successful! ~Serafina
