Testimonials
Chase has been training us to train our GSD, Shadow. We worked with other trainers, but the best results for Shadow, have been with Chase. Shadow has transformed into a model canine citizen. We are able to go off leash with him nearly everywhere. And playing in the park is great, as Shadow is focused on us, and not other dogs or people. We are getting all the tools to train and manage his behavior. And some neat tricks along the way.
Chase is great with people and dogs. Always encouraging you and your pup. Great attitude and professionalism. If you need help he is there. The price is quite reasonable for the amount of instruction and for the group classes to socialize your dog.
I’d do it all over again in a minute.

Chase is an exceptional dog trainer who is passionate about helping dogs succeed. My dog, Misty, was a challenging case–she was very high energy and difficult to control before training. Misty could not even see another dog without pulling on the leash and becoming overly excited. Chase works closely with you to become a better handler, helping you understand your dog while providing effective techniques and suggestions so you and your dog can become a better team. Misty was previously dog-aggressive and not very social, but with Chase’s training, she has made remarkable progress. I highly recommend Chase. He is talented, professional, and has experience with all breeds of dogs. Five out of five stars–contact him for outstanding results.

Our family recently brought a Golden retriever puppy into our family. She was very high energy and no direction. We contacted Chase and went to work! With Chases expertise and guidance our golden has been completely transformed. She went from an absolute monster to an obedient and loving member of our family. I can’t recommend Chase and Five star enough. Trust the process and follow his direction and you will have the best companion.
