Common Unwanted Behaviors
We almost considered getting rid of our pit Opie (who we recently took in) because he was completely out of control. With a little confidence in our pup and a lot of patience and work from everyone at Spot On, we now have one awesome family dog! I can’t thank them enough. Opie thanks them too as we are his third and now final home, he can be at ease knowing he’s not going anywhere else. he’s home. So thank you all at Spot On.
Working with Mike and his crew to train Roxy, our one year old, 13 pound, rescue dog, my husband, my two granddaughters, ages 12 and 13, Roxy, and I had fun! We learned a lot while all of us, including Roxy, enjoyed the experience. By the end of the third lesson all of us knew how to help Roxy become the dog we want her to be without crushing her spirit or diminishing her playfulness. It is a relief and a joy to know that we now have the techniques which makes it possible for us to enjoy Roxy in more places and in more situations that we ever imagined we could.
First, I have never seen 5/5 with over 80 reviews! That says something. Mike is very responsive, and has dogs best interest in mind. I did not understand that the training was the base that this dog needed to be the best dog he can be. Now, I can tailor his behavior to the needs of our family and it literally takes seconds. Of course there is continuous training at home, but it is SIMPLE! Not only did he demonstrate that Ryder knew EVERY command, Mike also taught me exactly how to “work” him. Even better than THAT, he taught my children which, in my opinion was more important. This was the BEST decision I have made. Ryder will be boarding with Mike from now on as a way to sharpen his skills.
Thank you for all the work you and Katie put into making our dogs even better! They are doing wonderfully, and little Chloe has taken to sitting at my side without calling her over- it’s her new default. All of the dogs seem happier and are certainly feeding off the increased confidence that training has provided. What a breeze it is to take them to the pet store, or let them out when the neighbor dogs are going nuts knowing that I still have control over my pack. Thank you! I highly recommend Spot On!
I have three Chi’s (Apollo, Harley and Oz) and we all went through training together. Mike made it easy to understand why we did the things we did. I understand my dogs better and them me. Thanks Mike for giving me well-mannered dogs. It’s hard work, practice every day and you’ll see the change right before your eyes! I have a much happier home now. Money well spent!
Great dog training experience. Mike took an enthusiastic puppy and turned him into an enthusiastic, obedient puppy. No more chasing him. He comes immediately. Love it!!
Does your dog bolt out the door when you’re heading out? Or pull you along like it’s a race?🏎️🐾
It’s time to teach your pup how to wait patiently and leave calmly. Not only will this skill make your walks more enjoyable, but it also keeps your dog safe and sets the tone for better behavior.
Start by practicing at home:
1. Use a leash to guide them to the door.
2. Ask for a “sit” and open the door just a crack.
3. If they rush forward, gently close the door and reset.
4. Reward them for staying calm and waiting for your cue.
With consistency, your pup will learn that waiting earns rewards—and freedom.
Need help teaching door and other manners? Spot On Dog Training is here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s transform those chaotic exits into calm adventures. 🌟

Let’s be honest—some dogs just have endless energy! You’ve taken them for a long walk, tossed their favorite ball a hundred times, and given them every toy you can find. But somehow, they’re still ready for more! This can be especially true for high-drive breeds like shepherds, border collies, and lab mixes. That’s where training comes in as the real game-changer.
Physical exercise alone doesn’t always tire out a dog, especially when they’re wired to work and problem-solve. That’s why training can be an incredible tool. Training isn’t just about obedience—it’s about giving your dog a way to focus and engage their brain, which can often be more tiring than running laps around the yard! When they use mental energy to follow cues, hold a position, or perform tasks, it helps satisfy that need to do something purposeful.
Take a look at these pups, chilling out on their place cots! After a training session, they’re calm, centered, and content.
Training can be an amazing way to build the calm and balanced dog you’ve been dreaming of, and it’s a perfect alternative to endless fetch sessions that might still leave them bouncing off the walls. So next time your pup’s full of energy, consider adding a training session to their day. Not only will it give them that mental workout they crave, but it’ll leave them happy and relaxed afterward. Remember, a well-trained dog is a happy dog! ❤️🐾

Today marks Vinny’s first official day with us at Spot On Dog Training, and he’s already showing some incredible potential! We started with the basics, focusing on “come” and “place” commands, and Vinny impressed us all by quickly mastering these with hardly any leash guidance at all. For a first-day pup, he’s got amazing focus and a real eagerness to learn!
Vinny’s also picking up on our structure with an automatic sit when he get onto the place cots, showing off his ability to follow directions with patience and precision.

Meet Finn! Greyhounds are truly unique, combining elegance with a gentle charm that makes them unforgettable. Known for their speed, they’re the fastest dog breed, reaching up to 45 mph. But, despite their racing potential, they’re often called “40 mph couch potatoes” because they love to relax and lounge around. Their calm and easygoing nature makes them incredibly sweet and gentle with families, showing a loyal and loving temperament. Greyhounds have a distinctively slender build, long legs, and a sleek coat that gives them a graceful and regal appearance—something that turns heads wherever they go. They’re expressive too, often using subtle looks to communicate with their humans, especially when they’re feeling playful or in need of some attention. Though usually calm, they enjoy a good burst of playfulness, running with joy, and then settling down for a cozy nap. This combination of beauty, loyalty, and an occasional touch of silliness makes greyhounds like Finn both wonderful companions and exceptional training partners. ❤️🐾🏎️

🎃🐾 Yappy Howl-oween from the Spot On Dog Training team! As the spookiest night of the year unfolds, remember a few tricks to keep this holiday a treat for everyone. Keep candy out of paws’ reach, especially chocolate and treats with xylitol, which can be harmful to our furry friends. If your pup loves to dress up, make sure their costume is comfortable and doesn’t restrict their movement, breathing, or vision. And if you’re heading out, leash up and add some reflective or glow gear for safety. Wishing you a fun and safe Halloween night with your furry family members! 🐕💀

To identify your dog’s temperament type, observe their reactions to different situations, people, and animals. Are they calm, confident, playful, shy, or reactive? Do they enjoy being social or prefer solitude? These behaviors provide insights into whether your dog is more dominant, submissive, outgoing, or reserved. 🐾❤️ #SpotOnDogTraining #DogTraining #Dogs #DogTemperament #DogLearning

To identify your dog’s temperament type, observe their reactions to different situations, people, and animals. Are they calm, confident, playful, shy, or reactive? Do they enjoy being social or prefer solitude? These behaviors provide insights into whether your dog is more dominant, submissive, outgoing, or reserved. 🐾❤️ #SpotOnDogTraining #DogTraining #Dogs #DogTemperament #DogLearning

We almost considered getting rid of our pit Opie (who we recently took in) because he was completely out of control. With a little confidence in our pup and a lot of patience and work from everyone at Spot On, we now have one awesome family dog! I can’t thank them enough. Opie thanks them too as we are his third and now final home, he can be at ease knowing he’s not going anywhere else. he’s home. So thank you all at Spot On.
Working with Mike and his crew to train Roxy, our one year old, 13 pound, rescue dog, my husband, my two granddaughters, ages 12 and 13, Roxy, and I had fun! We learned a lot while all of us, including Roxy, enjoyed the experience. By the end of the third lesson all of us knew how to help Roxy become the dog we want her to be without crushing her spirit or diminishing her playfulness. It is a relief and a joy to know that we now have the techniques which makes it possible for us to enjoy Roxy in more places and in more situations that we ever imagined we could.
First, I have never seen 5/5 with over 80 reviews! That says something. Mike is very responsive, and has dogs best interest in mind. I did not understand that the training was the base that this dog needed to be the best dog he can be. Now, I can tailor his behavior to the needs of our family and it literally takes seconds. Of course there is continuous training at home, but it is SIMPLE! Not only did he demonstrate that Ryder knew EVERY command, Mike also taught me exactly how to “work” him. Even better than THAT, he taught my children which, in my opinion was more important. This was the BEST decision I have made. Ryder will be boarding with Mike from now on as a way to sharpen his skills.
Thank you for all the work you and Katie put into making our dogs even better! They are doing wonderfully, and little Chloe has taken to sitting at my side without calling her over- it’s her new default. All of the dogs seem happier and are certainly feeding off the increased confidence that training has provided. What a breeze it is to take them to the pet store, or let them out when the neighbor dogs are going nuts knowing that I still have control over my pack. Thank you! I highly recommend Spot On!
I have three Chi’s (Apollo, Harley and Oz) and we all went through training together. Mike made it easy to understand why we did the things we did. I understand my dogs better and them me. Thanks Mike for giving me well-mannered dogs. It’s hard work, practice every day and you’ll see the change right before your eyes! I have a much happier home now. Money well spent!
Great dog training experience. Mike took an enthusiastic puppy and turned him into an enthusiastic, obedient puppy. No more chasing him. He comes immediately. Love it!!
Does your dog bolt out the door when you’re heading out? Or pull you along like it’s a race?🏎️🐾
It’s time to teach your pup how to wait patiently and leave calmly. Not only will this skill make your walks more enjoyable, but it also keeps your dog safe and sets the tone for better behavior.
Start by practicing at home:
1. Use a leash to guide them to the door.
2. Ask for a “sit” and open the door just a crack.
3. If they rush forward, gently close the door and reset.
4. Reward them for staying calm and waiting for your cue.
With consistency, your pup will learn that waiting earns rewards—and freedom.
Need help teaching door and other manners? Spot On Dog Training is here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s transform those chaotic exits into calm adventures. 🌟

Let’s be honest—some dogs just have endless energy! You’ve taken them for a long walk, tossed their favorite ball a hundred times, and given them every toy you can find. But somehow, they’re still ready for more! This can be especially true for high-drive breeds like shepherds, border collies, and lab mixes. That’s where training comes in as the real game-changer.
Physical exercise alone doesn’t always tire out a dog, especially when they’re wired to work and problem-solve. That’s why training can be an incredible tool. Training isn’t just about obedience—it’s about giving your dog a way to focus and engage their brain, which can often be more tiring than running laps around the yard! When they use mental energy to follow cues, hold a position, or perform tasks, it helps satisfy that need to do something purposeful.
Take a look at these pups, chilling out on their place cots! After a training session, they’re calm, centered, and content.
Training can be an amazing way to build the calm and balanced dog you’ve been dreaming of, and it’s a perfect alternative to endless fetch sessions that might still leave them bouncing off the walls. So next time your pup’s full of energy, consider adding a training session to their day. Not only will it give them that mental workout they crave, but it’ll leave them happy and relaxed afterward. Remember, a well-trained dog is a happy dog! ❤️🐾

Today marks Vinny’s first official day with us at Spot On Dog Training, and he’s already showing some incredible potential! We started with the basics, focusing on “come” and “place” commands, and Vinny impressed us all by quickly mastering these with hardly any leash guidance at all. For a first-day pup, he’s got amazing focus and a real eagerness to learn!
Vinny’s also picking up on our structure with an automatic sit when he get onto the place cots, showing off his ability to follow directions with patience and precision. It’s clear he’s a natural, and we’re so excited to be part of his training journey as he learns new commands and gains confidence along the way.
We’re all cheering you on, Vinny! Can’t wait to see how far you’ll go! 🌟🐶

Meet Finn! Greyhounds are truly unique, combining elegance with a gentle charm that makes them unforgettable. Known for their speed, they’re the fastest dog breed, reaching up to 45 mph. But, despite their racing potential, they’re often called “40 mph couch potatoes” because they love to relax and lounge around. Their calm and easygoing nature makes them incredibly sweet and gentle with families, showing a loyal and loving temperament. Greyhounds have a distinctively slender build, long legs, and a sleek coat that gives them a graceful and regal appearance—something that turns heads wherever they go. They’re expressive too, often using subtle looks to communicate with their humans, especially when they’re feeling playful or in need of some attention. Though usually calm, they enjoy a good burst of playfulness, running with joy, and then settling down for a cozy nap. This combination of beauty, loyalty, and an occasional touch of silliness makes greyhounds like Finn both wonderful companions and exceptional training partners. ❤️🐾🏎️

🎃🐾 Yappy Howl-oween from the Spot On Dog Training team! As the spookiest night of the year unfolds, remember a few tricks to keep this holiday a treat for everyone. Keep candy out of paws’ reach, especially chocolate and treats with xylitol, which can be harmful to our furry friends. If your pup loves to dress up, make sure their costume is comfortable and doesn’t restrict their movement, breathing, or vision. And if you’re heading out, leash up and add some reflective or glow gear for safety. Wishing you a fun and safe Halloween night with your furry family members! 🐕💀
