What We Teach
At On The 'Spot' Dog Training we specialize in Pet Dog Training. Our focus is teaching doggie good manners. We show you how to form a relationship with your dog built on trust and cooperation! You will learn how to focus on and reward your dog for good behavior, and your dog will learn that his/her job is to pay attention to you! Once you can do this, you will be able to develop a canine companion who behaves in a fashion that makes him/her enjoyable for both you and others to be around. To attain this goal, the following exercises are covered-
sit, stay, come, down, leave it, drop it, polite leashing walking and settle.
Problem Behaviors addressed include but are not limited to-
polite greeting of visitors, jumping up, chewing, nipping and house training
On The 'Spot' Dog Training proudly uses Positive Motivation, Reward Based Training which equals Fun, Fast, Gentle and Effective Training!
