Your dog will learn to self-regulate by choosing alternative behaviours to chasing. Imagine, for example, your dog coming to you or settling into a drop-stay when they see a chicken. (Yes, it really is possible!)
By providing safe, controlled opportunities for you and your dog to practice in the presence of real-life chase triggers, your dog can learn real-life self-control; and you can enjoy real-life confidence and peace of mind.
Does your dog like to chase? Scholars in Collars have just the solution! Licensed to provide you the admirable UnChase!® programmes, this workshop will give you the skills to teach your dog self-control in the presence of their chase triggers. Whether it be cars, cyclists, livestock, wildlife or fellow family pets we can help you accomplish a harmonious household and better safety for all, as well as more relaxed living and peace of mind for you and your family.

You can always teach an adult dog to stop chasing cars, wildlife, and farm animals - but it's a lot easier to teach a puppy not to pick up these unwanted hobbies in the first place. If you've got a breed inclined to chase, or a puppy of any kind who you'll want to have around other animals as an adult, Puppy Un-Chase!® is a smart puppy raising investment. Plus it's an awful lot of good fun!
Fully vaccinated puppies between 3 to 8 months

Well for one thing it's just good fun. At least for your dog. Not so much for you or any animals being chased, of course.
It's also hard-wired. Once upon a time dogs couldn't rely on kind humans for their meals - they had to catch their sustenance. Though dogs have been domesticated for some time now, most dogs retain the instinct to chase. For some, a well-thrown ball is enough to scratch the itch. For others, it's hard to ignore the call of a fleeing bunny or chicken. And some dogs feel compelled to chase anything that moves - even inanimate objects like your vacuum cleaner.
Group puppy training, dog training classes and specialised workshops are held in Balhannah and Mount Barker, in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia.
If you are located in the Copper Coast Council area, Yorke Peninsula Council, Mid Murray Council area, Southern Barossa Council or Murray Bridge Council area, we travel to these locations monthly. Please contact us to find out when we will next be in your area.
