Reactive

A reactive dog overreacts to normal situations that other dogs would take in stride. They become overstimulated easily and may bark, lunge, and growl at something as simple as another dog or person walking on the other side of the street.

Chase is amazing! My dog went to another training facility before Sit means Sit and barely learned anything. From the moment I stepped into this facility I instantly had a better feeling. Chase talked to me about what goals I had for my dog and how we were going to get there. Through just the first few private lessons I already saw massive improvements in my dog. Highly Recommend bringing your dog to this place!

- Jordan A.

We brought our 6 month cane corso Lucy to Chase and he is truly amazing! I could not walk her or even control her and after 3 days with Chase she walks by my side and she listens so well. We are working with her on her reactivity with other dogs but I know she’ll have it in no time. I can’t thank Chase enough! I highly recommend Sit means sit to anyone who needs any sort of training for their dog you won’t be disappointed!
