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.

Impulse control is key for every dog, for example, Olive is working hard to master it! This sweet yellow lab gets easily distracted by her buddy Terra, our black shepherd, especially when they’re in close proximity. But we’re teaching Olive how to pause, focus, and resist the temptation to join in the fun at the wrong time. Learning to ignore distractions like Terra is a big step in her training, helping her stay calm and focused when it matters most. It’s all about building patience and control—skills that will make her even more confident and well-behaved in every situation! 🐾❤️

🐾 **PLAYTIME!** 🐾

Playtime is essential for dogs after a day of training because it provides much-needed mental relaxation. Training requires focus and discipline, which can be mentally exhausting, so play helps dogs unwind and reduces stress while allowing them to process what they’ve learned. It also offers physical exercise, which helps burn off any remaining energy, promoting physical health.

Playtime serves as positive reinforcement for the dog, rewarding them for their efforts and making training a more enjoyable experience. It also fosters social interaction, especially if it involves playing with other dogs or people, improving their social skills. Lastly, it strengthens the emotional bond between the dog and their handler, reinforcing trust and affection. This balance between discipline and relaxation contributes to a happy and well-adjusted dog! 🐾❤️🎾

🐾 **HEEL!** 🐾

and why it’s important-

•Control and Leadership: It helps establish the handler as the leader, making the dog more obedient.
•Safety: Heeling prevents pulling or wandering, which keeps the dog safe in busy or dangerous areas.
•Reduces Reactivity: It keeps the dog focused on the handler, reducing distractions and bad behaviors.
•Mental Engagement: It challenges the dog mentally, helping burn energy and keeping them focused.
•Better Walks: Walks are more enjoyable with less pulling, making it easier to walk consistently.
•Foundation for Training: It lays the groundwork for advanced training and good behavior in various situations.

In short, it creates a well-behaved, focused dog that’s easier and safer to handle! 🐾❤️

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.

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

Impulse control is key for every dog, for example, Olive is working hard to master it! This sweet yellow lab gets easily distracted by her buddy Terra, our black shepherd, especially when they’re in close proximity. But we’re teaching Olive how to pause, focus, and resist the temptation to join in the fun at the wrong time. Learning to ignore distractions like Terra is a big step in her training, helping her stay calm and focused when it matters most. It’s all about building patience and control—skills that will make her even more confident and well-behaved in every situation! 🐾❤️

🐾 **PLAYTIME!** 🐾

Playtime is essential for dogs after a day of training because it provides much-needed mental relaxation. Training requires focus and discipline, which can be mentally exhausting, so play helps dogs unwind and reduces stress while allowing them to process what they’ve learned. It also offers physical exercise, which helps burn off any remaining energy, promoting physical health.

Playtime serves as positive reinforcement for the dog, rewarding them for their efforts and making training a more enjoyable experience. It also fosters social interaction, especially if it involves playing with other dogs or people, improving their social skills. Lastly, it strengthens the emotional bond between the dog and their handler, reinforcing trust and affection. This balance between discipline and relaxation contributes to a happy and well-adjusted dog! 🐾❤️🎾

🐾 **HEEL!** 🐾

and why it’s important-

•Control and Leadership: It helps establish the handler as the leader, making the dog more obedient.
•Safety: Heeling prevents pulling or wandering, which keeps the dog safe in busy or dangerous areas.
•Reduces Reactivity: It keeps the dog focused on the handler, reducing distractions and bad behaviors.
•Mental Engagement: It challenges the dog mentally, helping burn energy and keeping them focused.
•Better Walks: Walks are more enjoyable with less pulling, making it easier to walk consistently.
•Foundation for Training: It lays the groundwork for advanced training and good behavior in various situations.

In short, it creates a well-behaved, focused dog that’s easier and safer to handle! 🐾❤️

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.

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.
