I can’t say enough good things about Chase. From the moment we met him, it was clear he truly understands dogs on a deep level not just behaviorally, but emotionally too. He has a calm, confident energy that immediately put both Remi and me at ease. As a trainer, he’s worked wonders. Remi is a strong, high energy Rottweiler, and within just a few sessions, we started seeing meaningful changes. His training style is thoughtful and balanced firm but always kind and he tailors his approach to the individual dog’s needs instead of taking a one size fits all approach. I especially appreciate how he empowers me to feel confident as a handler, not just the dog. As a sitter, he’s just as impressive. I can leave Remi in his care without a single worry. He doesn’t just watch her he engages, plays, reinforces training, and makes sure she feels loved and secure while I’m away. Remi absolutely adores him and so do we. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like their own while delivering real results, he’s the one. Truly the best investment we’ve made for Remi’s well being.

Truly happy that me and my wife chose Chase to train our doberman. We were struggling with our dog he was so misbehaved and causing us a lot of trouble. After leaving our dog for two weeks with chase it was like a completely different dog. Very thankful for chase and he’s very reasonably priced we were looking around and so many trainers wanted to charge 3500-4k for two weeks which is outrageous. Chase is the man will only recommend him.

Two beautiful puppies were abandonded in our neighborhood. We are now in our mid 60's and these 2 puppies are huskie/shepherd mix. We found Chase through the internet and knew nothing about his methods of training. My wife and I were hesitant about the E Collar, but Chase was able to provide excellent guidance to eleveate our fears. After the 1st session, we had some growing pains during the at home training, and Chase was readily available by phone and text to get us back on track. Unfortunately we had family situation cut our training sessions short, but with the training we did receive, in the 3 sessions, our puppies are happy and provided the correct guidance to be excellent companions going forward. Very pleased with results.
The difference in my dog Jenny is night and day. I no longer have to worry about her running in the street and getting hit by a car. That was my biggest fear.

The difference in my dog Jenny is night and day. I no longer have to worry about her running in the street and getting hit by a car. That was my biggest fear. She no longer nips at people's feet as they're leaving the house. She seems to always be right there by me. Chase came highly recommended to me and I highly recommend him. I even brought Jenny from out of state and letter stay there for the two weeks. Wonderful
