I feel so fortunate that Chance came into my families lives. He brought wisdom and patience as well as a wonderful loving spirit. He truly is doing the job he was meant to do. The first session I thought he would be training our dogs Frankie and Samoa. It was us(the family) that needed the […]

Bear’s Aggressive Behavior Improves
We contacted Chance after much (two years) frustration with our dog Bear behaving aggressively towards other dogs, whether it was when he was in the car and would see them on the street, or when they walked past our property, or anywhere, for that matter.

Not only is he extremely effective at finding the […]

I felt like I had reached the point of giving up, lost hope thinking it could get better, figured he wasn’t […]
A Lifesaver

Through working with Chance, not only have I been able to train & stop my dogs from killing chickens, but truly understand the psychology behind […]

Tsugi’s Last Chance
Our 7 year old Tsugi is a mixed breed. DNA test showed him majority a boxer, among 5 other breeds with smaller % figures. He does not look like a boxer, but his personality seems to be a boxer. He’s a bully! He’s demanding and agressive. He thinks he runs our household and unknowingly, we […]
