We strongly recommend Chase and Ruff Rider training. Whiskey, a German shepherd mix, had severe behavioral issues with barking and growling at everything and everyone pretty much all the time. We tried several methods to correct the problem with no success. After talking to Chase at the home show, we decided to try the 2 week board and train program. The results were amazing! We returned with a much calmer and happier dog. We are now able to enjoy walks with Whiskey and generally enjoy life with him.

Chase is the best! Walking my pup was a nightmare, a frustrating experience for both of us. 1 week with Chase and she was a new dog! You can tell Chase loves the dogs and has been amazing with providing me tips and feedback to continue her training at home.

I sent my almost 5 year old and my 6 month old golden retrievers to Chase for a 2 week board and train program. I was skeptical about how well my older dog would respond to training (after investing in several other dog trainers in the past for him that didn’t work), and I was proven 100% wrong! Both of my dogs came away completely changed for the better. I can now walk them both at the same time with no pulling on the leash. Everyone who knows my older dog says he is a different dog in the best way. So much more calm and obedient. I was amazed at how well my young puppy responded to the training also. Chase truly loves and cares about the dogs he trains and does an amazing job with them. My dogs LOVE Chase. My dogs are my family and I felt completely safe and confident leaving them with Chase and trusting his process. I wish I had invested in this training years ago and I will continue to have Chase train all my future dogs!!
