We are The Om Studio, Om Obedience Professional Dog Training, a positive reinforcement-based dog training business serving the South Shore of Massachusetts. Founded in 2009 by Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) Michaela Anne Collins, we help dog owners build peaceful, lasting relationships with their dogs through science-backed, reward-based methods. We offer group classes, private training sessions, puppy preschool, behavior modification, and Comfort Dog Certification at partner locations across the region. Our team includes certified trainers who are members of the APDT, IAABC, and PPG, and we are Fear Free Certified. We specialize in helping dogs with reactivity, fearfulness, leash pulling, separation anxiety, and puppy socialization. Our mission is to keep dogs in their forever homes by empowering owners with effective, compassionate training tools.

We operate without a physical facility, holding all classes and private sessions at partner locations including A Dog’s Day Away in Holbrook, Jillian’s Pooch Paradise in Raynham, Willard Veterinary Clinic in Quincy, and others. We also offer OMDay Summer Camp for dogs and a unique Comfort Dog Certification program for dogs supporting first responders. Our trainers are actively involved in continuing education, attending conferences with leaders like Dr. Ian Dunbar and Karen Pryor, and mentoring new trainers through CATCH Canine Trainers Academy.

We serve dogs of all ages — puppies, adolescents, adults, and seniors — and work with all breeds and sizes, including small, medium, large, giant, and brachycephalic dogs. Our approach is rooted in positive reinforcement using clickers, food rewards, and harnesses, with no use of corrections, pinch collars, or e-collars. We also offer pet CPR and first aid instruction to pet owners and professionals.
