Testimonials

“I recently had my dog go through the board and train program with Summer and we are very pleased with the results! She kept in contact with us to update us on the progress our pup was making, which was much appreciated. I highly recommend Chasing Tail Dog Training, my pup came home with significantly improved behavior and we’re excited to continue practicing all the new skills we learned.”
– Client

“We reached out to Chasing Tail for help training our new Golden puppy on the recommendation of a friend. We were not disappointed. Summer is commanding but loving, gets and holds our dog’s attention and has been equally effective in teaching us how to do it too. Her techniques make sense – a few useful commands and lots of positive reinforcement. Her recommendations on collars, leads, mats are very helpful in training, and follow up excellent.”
– Client

“Summer is an absolute angel of a human! We rescued our dog Nova last year, and at 5 years old we thought we would never be able to help her with her reactivity – by session 2 we are already seeing an amazing transformation in our dog! Summer is assertive yet caring, her confident training style is truly impeccable.”
– Client

About the Trainer

Chasing Tail Dog Training is a personalized dog obedience training service based in Tempe, Arizona, serving pet owners across the Phoenix metropolitan area. They specialize in immersive Board & Train programs where dogs stay at their climate-controlled facility for 2–4 weeks to develop strong obedience, impulse control, and off-leash reliability through consistent, positive reinforcement coaching. Owners receive hands-on guidance during drop-off and pick-up sessions, plus a written training outline and one follow-up in-home session to ensure long-term success. They also offer Private In-Home Training, Virtual In-Home Training, and lifetime support for all clients. Their approach emphasizes teaching owners how to communicate effectively with their dogs, ensuring lasting behavioral change. They provide all necessary equipment, including leashes, collars, and e-collars when appropriate, and guarantee improvement or a refund—excluding cases of owner non-compliance.

They train dogs of all ages, breeds, and behavioral challenges, including leash reactivity, separation anxiety, jumping, barking, biting, and poor recall. Their small boarding capacity (1–2 dogs at a time) ensures individualized attention, while real-world socialization and daily handling build confidence and good habits. Their trainers use reward-based methods and focus on building a strong human-dog bond through clear communication.

Additional services include virtual consultations, ongoing support, and a free initial phone consultation to assess needs and match clients with the right program.

How to Get Started!

Client engagement begins with a free 15-minute phone consultation, scheduled via their online booking system. During this call, trainers assess the dog’s needs and recommend the best program—Board & Train, Private, or Virtual. Clients then complete a contact form with dog details and behavioral concerns before proceeding.
