Ruff Rider Dog Training

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.\n\nIf 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.

We recently completed 4 training sessions with Chase Frans at Ruff Rider dog training LLC, for our 1 year-old Bernadoodle Laniey and we are very thankful for the experience!\n\nOur puppy, Laniey, is an extremely affectionate dog, who absolutely loves people, especially Family and friends. Her biggest challenge was jumping up on people, looking for attention, belly, rubs, and affection. While her intentions were loving, it became important for us to address because we were often around my 87-year-old mother and five-year-old granddaughter.\n\nChase offered several training options, including board and training programs and weekly private sessions. We chose the four weekly sessions, meeting early mornings at a busy residential park with plenty of distractions. As new dog owners we appreciate Chase’s patience, calm demeanor, and realistic approach to training both us and Lainey.\n\nFrom the first session, Chase focused On foundational commands, like heal, sit, and later recall, proper walking behavior was also included. He taught us that consistency at home matters just as much as the training sessions themselves. One thing that stood out was how much emphasis he placed on verbal praise, and building communication with our dog rather than relying heavily on treats.\n\nChase Introduced us to a training collar and remote system that was included in the cost of training and explained how and when to use it properly, he also encouraged us to practice daily for no less than 40 minutes and even suggested taking Lainey to dog, friendly stores like Home Depot to work through distractions in real world situations! He also shared with us that as a gentle reminder to strangers that wanted to maybe pet Lainey, to just kindly let them know that she was in training.\n\nChase’s honesty was refreshing. He reminded us that we would get out of training what we put into it and he was absolutely right! Each week reinforce the previous lessons and help build both our confidence and Laney‘s responsiveness.\n\nWe have seen real improvement in Laniey‘s listing skills, walking behavior and overall focus. Most importantly, we feel more confident handling situations that once felt stressful.\n\nWe would absolutely recommend Chase and Ruff Rider Dog training LLC to anyone looking for patient, practical, hands-on dog training! He also has a life time guarantee in case us humans need a refresher! :)

If you’re looking to get your dog trained, Chase is your guy! My Border Collie did a one-week board and train with him, and the difference was truly night and day. Before training, my dog was very anxious and reactive to pretty much everything and everyone, which was really difficult for us as owners. After just one week, he learned so much and has improved tremendously.\n\nI was honestly hesitant at first because you always hear scary stories about dog training experiences, but Chase completely changed my perspective. He genuinely cares, takes the time to understand your dog, and delivers amazing results at a great price. On top of that, my dog absolutely loves him, which says a lot.\n\nI highly recommend Chase if you are looking for someone to train your dog.

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 just finished the training for our German shepherd mixed dog and I just want to say we had a great experience. Compared to other dog trainings we have looked into, this one is the most affordable and effective training. Our instructor Chase was very friendly and validating throughout all the classes. Our dog had issue with biting and overall a bit rambunctious but immediately after the first class there was a big change in his behavior! We highly recommend this business :)
