Great end product of my dog, emma. I did the 1 week board and train and needed work on heeling during walks, reacting to ppl, and reacting to dogs. After the 1 week, emma has done great not reacting and the other day did a walk with no leash and heeled when called. I was iffy about the e-collar, mainly because I didnt really know how to use it, but was shown the proper way and feel a lot better about it. I recommend this training and will probably be doing this again for my 4 year old golden. (Emma just turned one.)

I dropped off a wild and crazy, leash pulling, jumping on people, extra large mastiff and after 2 weeks with Chase, he returned to me a well mannered dog that I can finally take out in public.
If you are like me, you do not want to turn over your dog to just anyone to take care of and train. After talking to and then meeting Chase, I was very comfortable with him and I knew that I made the right decision.

Hank has always exhibited anxiety and excitement around new people, in strange environments and with other dogs. Chase not only worked with Hank on these issues but trained us as well. Hank still has issues but we now feel confident in handling them and know we can always reach back out for help when needed. Overall we were very happy and will continue to refer people to Ruff Rider Dog Training. Thanks Chase!

I put my 2 year old dog in Chase’s board and train. My dog Maverick came from a shelter and was a very anxious nervous dog. The board and train gave him the confidence and made him more relax in public and around people. My dog also loved Chase and loved the training. I highly highly recommend taking your dog to here!

We couldn't be happier with the improvement in our two dogs since training with Chase!
Both dogs were very reactive, which kept us from taking them to public places and even from going on walks.
Since their training we've been able to take them to restaurant patios with no issues.
