Our big boy has been working with the trainers at Om literally since before he was born! We wanted a large breed/protection dog and Whitney helped us navigate the best option for our family and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Having worked with both Whitney and Sage over the past nine months, both day training and extended boarding, it has been a great advantage as opposed to just a single trainer. They each have their own styles while maintaining the same approach to training, and our dog has really benefited as a result. We will continue along the Om path and would recommend the same for anyone looking to raise a well-mannered and balanced dog!

Left my two year old Staffy for 2 weeks, and already see such a difference in how he listens. Whitney is fantastic with the dogs. Would highly recommend !

Whitney is amazing!! Our boy is high energy/no chill, would crowd at the door, bark in the kennel from time to time, was sensitive to any regular sounds outside (cars, leaves crunching, something in the wind etc.), obnoxious when other dogs would pass and was PULLING on leash— I was absolutely miserable attempting to take him on a walk, and honestly threw in the towel until I could get him training. He did a board and train with Whitney while we were out of town for only 10 days. The amount of progress he made in such a short amount of time blew our minds! He’s not perfect, but has had a remarkable transformation! He is great about being in place. He’s no longer on the furniture (this was a habit I wanted to break that I don’t even think I mentioned at drop off), barking is very limited, I can keep him on place (even if there’s exciting stuff happening in the home) and most walks and runs are enjoyable now! I’m sure I’m missing other improvements that he’s made, but things are night and day from prior to training to now. It makes me excited to learn more and grow.
Thank you Whitney for being the best trainer! I appreciate you so much and I know you’re only a message away if I run into something that I don’t know what to do with. Keep doing you!

Whitney has been super helpful and responsive throughout this entire process! Even before I started the board & train week, she would answer my questions via email/text and prepare me on what to expect beforehand. During the boarding week, she would send me daily photo and video updates of my precious pup to make sure I am in the loop on his training. She was very flexible with pickup and drop-off times, and was willing to meet at my apartment for those days and evaluate my living situation with my dog. On the final day of training, she spent over an hour with me at the park to debrief the week, review all the commands, and not only demonstrate, but have me practice as well and give me feedback! She gave me a PDF document on follow-up steps and is even now still answering my questions over text. She has truly been an exceptional service and my pup is so much better-behaved than ever! I highly recommend her services for any dog owners who need a bit of extra help, it has been completely worth it! :) Whitney and Om Dog Club are amazing!

OM Dog Club is amazing and I would highly recommend! Whitney and Sage are an amazing dynamic duo and both took one of our pups with different training needs! Whitney and Sage were wonderful! They communicated daily with updates and videos! When our pups returned home after their training, they spent time with my husband and I to ensure we knew how to continue the training to optimize their training results! Both pups came back with fantastic manners and incredible training foundations making it easy to pick up and continue! We love Whitney and Sage at OM Dog Club!!
