Premium Dog Training in Northeast Ohio and Surrounding Areas
Fortunate Fido is dedicated to dog training using PAIN-FREE methodsOur Dog Training Mission
Your dog is a beloved member of your family, and you only want the best for them. Enrichment, mental stimulation, manners, socialization, and more are all essential building blocks to a happy dog, but how do you incorporate them into your daily routine and environment? That’s where we come in!
We understand and care about your four legged family too! From our training methodology– positive reinforcement based training, meaning no painful yanks, pinches, or shocks for your pup – to our offerings – with locations and services that meet you and your pup where you are in order to help get you to where you’d like to be – our values and love for dogs is the basis of everything we do.
Our Training Approach
We teach you and your dog to communicate better, work together, and make choices that help enhance both of your lives’. We use your dog’s natural interests and abilities to teach them to work with us for toys, food, and other reinforcement.
By training using positive, reward based methods rather than via the use of pain or discomfort, your dog will gain the confidence and practice they need to enjoy working with you!
We give you the tools to help your dog using an approach that combines knowledge, management, training, games, and more to help you and your dog progress toward your goals.
Training for All Dogs
We have experience with a variety of breeds and mixes as well as dogs of all ages and backgrounds!
From fearful dogs that shut down or have trouble around your home, neighborhood, vet, or groomer to aggressive dogs that guard food, toys, people, etc. to new puppies that are just learning that the world is a fun, safe place to be, we have a service or package that will fit your dog’s unique needs.

It’s kind of hard to write this because what Ginger has done for me & my dog is so big it’s truly hard to fit into words and just overwhelming to think about. I guess it’s pretty much like the proverbial “pebble in the pond” or “ripple effect.” One in home visit with her led to so many positive changes.
I love what they do here. Amazing work with animals that is science based and effective. I would recommend them to anyone!
