Congratulations and welcome!  You have just taken the first step towards becoming the best dog owner you can be by visiting Spot On Training.  Spot On Training is a Washington, DC based dog training business located on Capitol Hill. Chances are, if you stopped by today, it’s because you are thinking about getting a dog, just recently added a dog to the family, need support and guidance with a dog that you already have, or just because someone told you to “check us out.”

At Spot On Training, we are focused on giving you the tools you need to create a strong foundation that will allow you to establish and maintain a happy and healthy relationship between you and your dog. We create this foundation by focusing on the following model:

1. •Communication
   

2. •Consistency
   

3. •Education
   

4. •Exercise
   

5. •Fun
   

6. •Positive motivation
   

As the role of the dog has evolved from that of a working species, to one of a beloved family member, we must too think about the evolution of dog training. Gone are the days of training focused on dominance.  These ideas are outdated and there is growing scientific data that supports the use of science-based learning principles resulting in much more effective and humane ways to train dogs.  Science based learning principles utilized in training give you and your pet coping strategies coupled with socialization skills for living well in today’s society. 

Spot On Training stands for positive based training with evidence based outcomes.  For dogs that thrive and are happy and healthy, call or email us for more information.
