Mike's Vision

Mike started off with a goal: to save any troubled dog or canine relationship that would have otherwise ended in a shelter, or something worse. This underlying mission is what drove him to open Spot On! in August 2015.

Boasting 15 years of experience, Mike is well equipped to give your dog the best approach to success and obedience. His expertise allows him to connect with dog owners, explaining how to train their dogs in a logical and sensible way. This method thereby equips each dog owner with the skills and tools needed to maintain training with their dog after Mike’s work is done.

Mike’s method of training produces effective results all while keeping your dog’s tail waggin’! With no shortage of positive stories resulting from Mike’s training, you’ll know that your pup is in good hands while also getting the training he or she needs. Mike is also the proud owner of two Belgian Malinois named Zeus and Ziva.

What Our Clients Say

My husband and I had a great experience with Mike! Our 1 year Cavapoo was a rescue and now that we’ve completed the home trainings, we feel much more in control and are very happy with the results! Would definitely recommend!

Kristin
Lakewood, OH

Just finished our 3 lesson program with Jenn and it was awesome!! I have a 2 year old Bichon Poodle mix named Hannah. She didn’t have any real discipline problems, but she wanted to interact with people and other dogs on her terms. I wanted to have better control over her behavior in those situations, you know, a “polite” doggie!! Spot On and our trainer, Jenn, have put us on that path, Thanks so much!!

Greg
Sagamore Hills, OH

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 taylor 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.

Jennifer
Chagrin Falls, OH

Our year-and-a-half old Great Dane is a different dog! Her sweet, goofy personality is intact, but she is more confident, calmer, obeys commands, and walks loose leashed in the village! We are amazed daily at her new skills! No pulling, controlled barking, and much less crate time! She lays on the sofa contentedly while have dinner, and she’s already starting to respond when the collar is off entirely. And it’s only been two weeks! Worth every penny. You saved our family’s sanity!

Amanda
Chagrin Falls, OH

The best experience! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and how quick and easy it really was. They are truly “Spot On!”.

Loretta
Chardon, OH

Mike was great with our Kensie! We wanted her to be able to sit, lay down, follow the “off” command when we walked her outside as she tried to put everything in her sight in her mouth! She can now walk outside without eating everything and she does great walking next to me with the “heel” command! Thanks Mike!

Keri
Cleveland, OH

Spot On provided excellent training for our 1 yr. old lab. After her return from the 1 week boarder training program, we have seen huge progress. Jenn has provided guidance and encouragement to us to continue the training at home. It truly is so enjoyable to have a pup who behaves!! Thank you to Katie and Jenn.

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. 🌟
Comment with pictures of your pup waiting patiently! ❤️

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. ❤️🐾🏎️

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

Mike's Vision

Mike started off with a goal: to save any troubled dog or canine relationship that would have otherwise ended in a shelter, or something worse. This underlying mission is what drove him to open Spot On! in August 2015.

Boasting 15 years of experience, Mike is well equipped to give your dog the best approach to success and obedience. His expertise allows him to connect with dog owners, explaining how to train their dogs in a logical and sensible way. This method thereby equips each dog owner with the skills and tools needed to maintain training with their dog after Mike’s work is done.

Mike’s method of training produces effective results all while keeping your dog’s tail waggin’! With no shortage of positive stories resulting from Mike’s training, you’ll know that your pup is in good hands while also getting the training he or she needs. Mike is also the proud owner of two Belgian Malinois named Zeus and Ziva.

My husband and I had a great experience with Mike! Our 1 year Cavapoo was a rescue and now that we’ve completed the home trainings, we feel much more in control and are very happy with the results! Would definitely recommend!

Just finished our 3 lesson program with Jenn and it was awesome!! I have a 2 year old Bichon Poodle mix named Hannah. She didn’t have any real discipline problems, but she wanted to interact with people and other dogs on her terms. I wanted to have better control over her behavior in those situations, you know, a “polite” doggie!! Spot On and our trainer, Jenn, have put us on that path, Thanks so much!!

Jennifer
Chagrin Falls, OH

Our year-and-a-half old Great Dane is a different dog! Her sweet, goofy personality is intact, but she is more confident, calmer, obeys commands, and walks loose leashed in the village! We are amazed daily at her new skills! No pulling, controlled barking, and much less crate time! She lays on the sofa contentedly while have dinner, and she’s already starting to respond when the collar is off entirely. And it’s only been two weeks! Worth every penny. You saved our family’s sanity!

The best experience! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and how quick and easy it really was. They are truly “Spot On!”.

Mike was great with our Kensie! We wanted her to be able to sit, lay down, follow the “off” command when we walked her outside as she tried to put everything in her sight in her mouth! She can now walk outside without eating everything and she does great walking next to me with the “heel” command! Thanks Mike!

Spot On provided excellent training for our 1 yr. old lab. After her return from the 1 week boarder training program, we have seen huge progress. Jenn has provided guidance and encouragement to us to continue the training at home. It truly is so enjoyable to have a pup who behaves!! Thank you to Katie and Jenn.

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. 🌟
Comment with pictures of your pup waiting patiently! ❤️

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. ❤️🐾🏎️

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

Certificate of Excellence
Winner — 2018/19

Mike's Vision

Mike started off with a goal: to save any troubled dog or canine relationship that would have otherwise ended in a shelter, or something worse. This underlying mission is what drove him to open Spot On! in August 2015.

Boasting 15 years of experience, Mike is well equipped to give your dog the best approach to success and obedience. His expertise allows him to connect with dog owners, explaining how to train their dogs in a logical and sensible way. This method thereby equips each dog owner with the skills and tools needed to maintain training with their dog after Mike’s work is done.

Mike’s method of training produces effective results all while keeping your dog’s tail waggin’! With no shortage of positive stories resulting from Mike’s training, you’ll know that your pup is in good hands while also getting the training he or she needs. Mike is also the proud owner of two Belgian Malinois named Zeus and Ziva.

My husband and I had a great experience with Mike! Our 1 year Cavapoo was a rescue and now that we’ve completed the home trainings, we feel much more in control and are very happy with the results! Would definitely recommend!

Just finished our 3 lesson program with Jenn and it was awesome!! I have a 2 year old Bichon Poodle mix named Hannah. She didn’t have any real discipline problems, but she wanted to interact with people and other dogs on her terms. I wanted to have better control over her behavior in those situations, you know, a “polite” doggie!! Spot On and our trainer, Jenn, have put us on that path, Thanks so much!!

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.

Meet Storm, the perfect example of everything we love about Cane Corsos! 💙 With their noble stature, soulful eyes, and loyal hearts, these gentle giants are as majestic as they are affectionate.
Cane Corsos are natural protectors, but don’t let their serious expressions fool you—they’re total lovebugs with their families. Their intelligence and willingness to please make them amazing training partners, and their big personalities mean there’s never a dull moment!

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! ❤️🐾

Watching him work like this is a reminder that consistency, patience, and a sprinkle of positivity go a long way. Way to go, Red—you’re making us proud! ❤️🐾

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! 🐕💀

Working on our ‘come’ command with each of the pups one by one, making patience and focus the stars of the show! With every call, it’s a dance of trust and teamwork, as each dog waits their turn, watching as their buddy gets the spotlight first. It’s more than just practice; it’s building impulse control and that ever-deepening bond that brings us closer. Seeing each tail wag in anticipation and those eager eyes waiting to hear their name, we’re reminded that training isn’t just about skills—it’s about creating moments that are ours. Every call, every wait, every joyful run back, we’re celebrating the small wins that make this journey with them so rewarding! 🐾❤️

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
