Commitment to science-based, positive training
The Un-Chase! program utilises only positive reinforcement training guided by the latest scientific understanding of dog behaviour and training. The goal of the program is to stop chase behaviour by effectively motivating dogs to prefer not to chase. This approach removes stress from the training process for both animal and trainer and achieves more reliable results.
