“Ron could not have chosen a better company name: Rapid Results Dog Training. After an extensive review of who I found to be the best dog trainers in Greater Cleveland for my new Labrador Retriever pup Riley (5 months old), I decided to partner with Ron Dorazio, owner and trainer of Rapid Results Dog Training for 5 training sessions.

I knew after the first few minutes, that Ron was an awesome human, a very knowledgeable and experienced dog trainer and is quite sociable. It’s one thing to be able to know how to train a dog, it’s quite another to able to translate it to a client who is not nearly as knowledgeable and Ron, fortunately for Riley and me, Ron can do both.

Ron has a quiet yet direct manner, is low-key yet firm, flexible and adaptable as needed and best of all, he is exceptionally calm – even when it was 90 degrees outside! Ron’s ability to interact with Riley was fun to watch, as he easily captured Riley’s attention in ways I never could. It was easy to watch Ron do the training but when he wanted me to take over and demo the command, it wasn’t nearly as easy as watching Ron, and since Ron was so patient and gave me tips throughout, allowing me to practice, made things stick.

Riley was a nightmare with leash pulling and I tried various techniques prescribed by what I thought were very knowledgeable dog trainers by watching their YouTube videos, to no avail and frustration for both of us. Ron solved this issue in 1 minute, literally 1 minute and he hasn’t pulled since. When Ron returned the next week, I told him I can walk him on a leash with one pinky finger and have full control over him, he just smiled. I was blown away. It’s interesting when I pass other dogs on the street, some are pulling like mad, and Riley just carries on, under full control.

It was truly incredible to see how quickly Riley caught onto the various obedience cues/commands.

Watching Ron implement recall both off-leash and on a long lead using an e-collar was amazing and he made it look simple. Even without the e-collar on, Riley’s recall is fairly solid (which I find incredible, given he is only 6 months old and has had 5 training sessions) and he will get even better with repetition and consistency.

When Riley presented some challenges, Ron adapted his approach and was very aware of nuances and how to adapt techniques to get to the goal. Ron demonstrated alternative methods which worked and even more importantly, the “why” behind it.

I did a lot of reading about e-collars the past two weeks and Ron’s knowledge, approach, and training methods were completely spot on and made perfect sense. He even gave a couple of different approaches to deal with digging and how to deal and train with distractions.

Even on the most recent/last session, Ron was able to Riley to drop the ball, consistently, in just a few minutes, something I was not able to do at all. Labs live to retrieve balls, so this is huge. I know I have to practice and be consistent with Riley, but I am relieved for both of us, that a solid foundation and framework has been laid.

I am grateful and thankful to Ron for accomplishing so much in short order. Ron is exceptional in every regard, both dog training and otherwise.“

“Spot On Dog Training is the best! The staff is very knowledgeable, caring, and professional. They really treat your dog like their own. My biggest concern was my pups safety because he eats everything and they went above and beyond to make sure he was safe and he’s been so much better with eating stuff after training. They took him on many field trips and were great about sending daily pics and updates. I couldn’t be happier with my experience! Thank you to Mike and his amazing staff! 5++⭐️“

“I just visited for a tour today and was SO impressed with what I saw! This facility was literally spotless and smelled clean. The dogs were all happily wagging their tails in clean cages with toys and blankets for comfort. Izzy was extremely professional and friendly during our tour. I am looking forward to a short vacation knowing my fur babies will be well cared for here.?“
