What is Un-Chase!®
If you’ve felt that knot in your stomach as your dog takes off towards objects or animals, Un-Chase!® is for you. Unruly chase behaviour can be frustrating and embarrassing, despite how common it is. It can also be dangerous. Un-Chase!® was designed to create real-life solutions for dogs who chase, and has been developed over the past 12 years to provide relief for dog owners across the world. From vehicles, livestock, pets, wildlife, and even the vacuum cleaner - Un-Chase!® has proven successful with them all.
Using positive reinforcement based methods, dogs are taught self-control around chase triggers, as well as alternative behaviours to keep them (and those around them) safe. The Un-Chase!® program provides a clear, simple, and step-by-step process to tackle chase behaviour, suitable for all ages and breeds. If you’ve heard ‘nothing can stop the chasing’, we can’t wait to surprise you.
