We can not sing Chase's praises loud enough. He truly works miracles. After the loss of our male GSD we decided to adopt from County. This was our first and possibly our last experience with adopting from county. We brought Bjorn home and very quickly realized we bit off more then we could chew. We tried to introduce Bjorn to our two female dogs and that meeting did not go well at all. I ended up face planted on the ground. The second meeting was worse. We had two choices we could take this dog back to county or find someone to train him. I was determined not to give up on this beautiful boy. After 2 week board and train with Chase, we have a very different dog and couldn't be happier with the results. When Chase says he is available always for you, he truly means it. We called and texted and he was there to help through this process. Right now i have peace in my house. If I could give Chase 10 stars I would. Thank you Chase you helped in giving us our dream dog.

Chase is awesome. Super kind and great with our 16 month old shepard mix. He's helped us out when we needed last minute dog sitting and we couldn't have been more grateful. Highly recommend.

If you live in AZ and have an unruly dog Chase is your trainer! He took my 1 year old puppy from a monster to a very well behaved off leash trained gentleman. I cannot thank Ruff Rider Dog training enough! I will be boarding with Chase as well as he has become part of our family. Thank you is not enough but I cannot express enough how much your training helped our family.

We just finished the training for our German shepherd mixed dog and I just want to say we had a great experience. Compared to other dog trainings we have looked into, this one is the most affordable and effective training. Our instructor Chase was very friendly and validating throughout all the classes. Our dog had issue with biting and overall a bit rambunctious but immediately after the first class there was a big change in his behavior! We highly recommend this business :)

Chase Frans is an excellent trainer!! Our rescued dog was beaten as a puppy before she was discarded on the street at 6 months old. She loves her family and is difficult around anyone else. Chase handled her like the professional that he is. She responded well to his 2 week training course and they bonded. If you have a difficult dog with trust issues, Chase is the trainer for you. We now board her with Chase when we go on vacation as we know she is in good hands and will be well taken care of. Thank you Chase!!!
