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!®
What is Un-Chase?®
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.

Imagine, for example, your dog coming to you when he spies a kangaroo, or calmly ignoring a chicken. Or traffic. Or the cat. Un-Chase!® private training replaces frustration and worry with confidence and peace of mind.

During a workshop, you will discover the principles of the positive Un-Chase!® approach, and have the opportunity to practice in an environment with real distractions. During the Online Course, you will have the convenience of learning from home with an opportunity for field trips later in the training as you and your dog build on your skills together using the principles of the positive Un-Chase!® approach.
These sessions are the ideal way to start your dog on the path to un-chasing. These workshops and Online Courses will occur throughout the year and will be advertised on the website and social media.

Un-Chase! Snakes
Snakes (or any Wildlife) and dogs can be a fraught mix.
Dogs can pose a serious risk to many animals, such as wallabies, koalas, wombats and lizards of all kinds, through their chase behaviour. Just the experience of being pursued can cause a huge amount of stress to native animals, often resulting in injury and death.
It’s bad news for our dogs, too. Snakes and kangaroos are deadly foes for our canine companions. Un-Chase!® wildlife training provides safety for your dog and peace of mind for you.
Through this unique and positive reinforcement-based program, you’ll learn a series of engaging training exercises that can save your dog’s life as well as the life and well-being of protected wildlife.
Using odour and movement of Snakes, this program doesn’t place any snakes at risk of injury and can be easily adapted to include options for any type of wildlife you and your dog encounter in your everyday life.
