What others are saying:
"A great read for anyone who has struggled to come to grips with a dog who chases other animals. Chase! provides a comprehensive training program that addresses both the mental and physical needs of these challenging dogs and resoundingly refutes the need for aversive techniques.

"Understanding a dog’s predatory nature can take years. The ability to help teach a novice handler to help their dogs step by step is a real gift. Clarissa has written a wonderful book on how to humanly and successfully work with our canine friends. She is clear it will take time and patience and to not hurry the process. This is one of the best books you can read to help guardians and their prey driven dogs help one another successfully become a team—and to strengthen the bond between them. You will learn to communicate openly and find joy and solace enjoying the countryside without the worry of the dog chasing wild game or cats. Congratulations Clarissa..."
