Dieter (7 months) went to Spot On and the training he received exceeded our expectations. So happy we selected Mike and his team as I now have a great hiking buddy and a well-behaved puppy. Would highly recommend!!

I was super nervous about this experience because I have never been away from my dog for a week, however the people at spot on were amazing! I got updates everyday with a short description and pictures. Bryan was amazing and was patient with both us and our dog in teaching us how to continue working with him confidently. I would absolutely recommend this training facility to anyone looking to improve their dog’s behavior!

I took my six month old bernedoodle to spot on and I wouldn’t change a single thing!! She sent me so many pictures and updates on how her training was going. When I went to pick her back up she was so well trained, I was amazed! She was very obedient but still had her personality which I loved so much. Now my dog is two and when I needed some tips about her training I texted Mike and he called back in 10 minutes flat! Showing how much he cares for his clients. I would recommend spot on to anyone who’s interested in getting a dog!

We decided against using spot on dog training. Although we felt we did our research ahead of time, we were surprised during our free demo to find that the trainers use shock collars. Personally, we are more comfortable using research-backed positive based training. Please do you research on positive/reward based training vs. negative/punishment based training before booking!

My puppy was only 5 months old going in, but after 1 week the maddening puppy disobedience subsided soooooo greatly! She's not wild anymore, she's a goofy puppy with manners. As a busy working mom this place handled the training I didn't have the time or know how to complete and in only 1 week! I highly recommend 👌

This is a transformative experience for both the owner and the dog. I don’t know how we lived without it. Can not recommend highly enough. Spot on trainers are competent and compassionate. It’s expensive but well worth it. The e-collar training is now recommended by the monks of new skete!

Talk about the best of the best! Mike and his team are beyond fantastic, cooperative and overall just an amazing group of people! My fiancé and I have a 7 year old pitbull named Sam, we reached out to spot on for some behavioral help and just in general training with him and in just one week they did everything they promised and more! We couldn’t be more impressed with the service they provided. Yes it is expensive but you are 100% paying for great service and outcome. Knowing that our fur baby was in great hands made the experience even better. We are extremely excited to have a place to board for future vacations knowing that our fur baby is in the best hands possible. Thank you guys again and the whole team at Spot on! We can’t thank you guys enough!

I went from a dog that pulled, jumped and chased anything blowing in the wind, to a dog that I can successfully take to an assisted living where he sits and let’s all the residents pet him. And NOTHING about his personality changed. He’s still a lovable goofball. The whole team there was amazing! Worth every penny!

Mike and his team are AMAZING!!! From initial phone call, to picking up Goose our experience was excellent. Goose our Golden retriever needed some help understanding the rules, and we needed help teaching him how to do it. We were worried Goose would loose his personality or this training would change him. Not one bit, he is his usual goofy self, he just listens. Mike's facilities are spotless, his staff is so good with the dogs, they send you picture updates everyday! After picking up Goose we have called Mike a couple of times for help to properly continue to work with Goose, without hesitation he calls back and offers his help quickly. Never ever feels like you're bothering him. Goose has come so far and is very confident, is a dream to take on a walk and we cannot thank Mike and his team at Spot On! enough!! Thank you!!!

The Spot On! team had the honor of watching one of our clients perform in a school play. The play is Annie Jr and the Annie is played by the adorable Abby with Sandy the Golden Retriever who is a little over 1 year old. Sandy completed training with us in November and her owners worked hard to have Sandy in this play and did a phenomenal job with her. Huge thanks to Jamie & Scott along with Abby's parents for allowing us to share this with you. They did an amazing job and we couldn't be more proud.

🐕 In this clip one our trainers, Kenya, is working with 5 month old Sienna on learning a “down”. During training, we like to keep things fun for both the dogs and ourselves, incorporating games and different rewards. Here, you will see after Sienna performs a down correctly, Kenya throws a treat for her to chase and eat then recalls her using the “come” command, and repeats the process for repetition. This is a fun game to play with your pup to tap into their prey drive, chasing and eating the treat, and to strengthen their recall. You can even add different variations such as making your pup wait to chase down the reward, adding different commands in before the reward, recalling before they get to the reward and so on. Make training fun and always remember to practice!! 🐕

My fiancé and I have a 7 year old pitbull named Sam, we reached out to spot on for some behavioral help and just in general training with him and in just one week they did everything they promised and more! We couldn’t be more impressed with the service they provided. Yes it is expensive but you are 100% paying for great service and outcome. Knowing that our fur baby was in great hands made the experience even better. We are extremely excited to have a place to board for future vacations knowing that our fur baby is in the best hands possible. Thank you guys again and the whole team at Spot on! We can’t thank you guys enough!

Great staff , clean facility, and Great results! I was impressed on how much my Dog Eli learned in just a weeks stay. He’s a more mannered pup and respects us as the leader. Still have work to do , but we are confident with continuing the training at home from what we have learned! Also glad to know that they are just a phone call away 🐶

I went from a dog that pulled, jumped and chased anything blowing in the wind, to a dog that I can successfully take to an assisted living where he sits and let’s all the residents pet him. And NOTHING about his personality changed. He’s still a lovable goofball. The whole team there was amazing! Worth every penny!

Mike and his team are AMAZING!!! From initial phone call, to picking up Goose our experience was excellent. Goose our Golden retriever needed some help understanding the rules, and we needed help teaching him how to do it. We were worried Goose would loose his personality or this training would change him. Not one bit, he is his usual goofy self, he just listens. Mike's facilities are spotless, his staff is so good with the dogs, they send you picture updates everyday! After picking up Goose we have called Mike a couple of times for help to properly continue to work with Goose, without hesitation he calls back and offers his help quickly. Never ever feels like you're bothering him. Goose has come so far and is very confident, is a dream to take on a walk and we cannot thank Mike and his team at Spot On! enough!! Thank you!!!

Hello everyone, I know we haven’t posted in a while. Things have been very busy. We wanted to inform you that during this hot week we are taking extra precautions with the dogs in our care to ensure there are no heat related injuries or illnesses. We are minimizing outside time, ensuring the dogs have fresh water three times a day and all field trips with the dogs will be done at stores with a pre-cooled car before we take them. We are on top of it and look forward to seeing all your for your furry friends.
Come check us out this weekend at the Outdoor Adventure Show at the Huntington Convention Center.  We look forward to meeting you

The Spot On! team had the honor of watching one of our clients perform in a school play. The play is Annie Jr and the Annie is played by the adorable Abby with Sandy the Golden Retriever who is a little over 1 year old. Sandy completed training with us in November and her owners worked hard to have Sandy in this play and did a phenomenal job with her. Huge thanks to Jamie & Scott along with Abby's parents for allowing us to share this with you. They did an amazing job and we couldn't be more proud.

🐾 It is just as important to train with distractions as it is without! By training your pup with distractions around, you are building a stronger bond with your pup as well as helping them to understand your expectations for them in different situations. We train our students inside and outside of the facility as well as in public, setting each pup up for success at home! 🐾

🐕 In this clip one our trainers, Kenya, is working with 5 month old Sienna on learning a “down”. During training, we like to keep things fun for both the dogs and ourselves, incorporating games and different rewards. Here, you will see after Sienna performs a down correctly, Kenya throws a treat for her to chase and eat then recalls her using the “come” command, and repeats the process for repetition. This is a fun game to play with your pup to tap into their prey drive, chasing and eating the treat, and to strengthen their recall. You can even add different variations such as making your pup wait to chase down the reward, adding different commands in before the reward, recalling before they get to the reward and so on. Make training fun and always remember to practice!! 🐕
