“By attending “C.H.A.C.O Dog Training & Behavior Consulting LLC” classes we learned a lot and so did our standard poodle Dash. Almudena has a first-class facility with a large field for classes, within a larger securely fenced area that readily adapts to the wide range of activities she incorporates in her teaching. She is a personable and caring individual as well as a very knowledgeable professional totally committed to helping owners and their dogs.
The classes are usually small, 4 owners with their dogs, which allows some one-on-one time with Almudena when needed, and the classes are nonthreatening and fun for the dog. With her extensive knowledge, she is able to address any special problems encountered. For example, our dog had spent the first nine months of his life in a kennel being mostly ignored. Almudena really helped socialize Dash and he’s become a confident, happy dog, who likes to play and he enjoys the company of other dogs and people.” – Robb & Kate Palmer, Tesuque, NM

“Thanks so much for the excellent recall class that Roxie and I attended. I really enjoyed it. You teach important concepts in interesting ways, and your class is a very different experience than other classes I have taken over the years. It was very helpful and thought provoking.” – Patty Sciarrotta & Roxie

Tiny dogs often have a bad reputation. People either adore their small size and quirks, or people think of them as “needy,” “barky,” “obnoxious,” “aggressive,” and the like. Yes, many small-breed dogs, without a doubt, exhibit undesirable and hard-to-live with behaviors.
And have we considered how these tiny creatures take in their world? Then, perhaps, their view of the world is the “problem,” and it could also be the answer to a more confident, relaxed small-breed dog.
This four-week class will teach you what most likely is the root cause of your dog’s problem behavior(s), yet, most importantly, it will open your eyes and give you specific tools to help your tiny breed become a superstar!
The Details: The class is open to six tiny-breed dogs up to 26 lbs. weight. Ages 5 months onward and their handler.
Required Vaccinations: Dogs should be current on their DHLPP vaccines, OR provide a current titter test. Please bring proof of vaccination or titer test (if not previously uploaded on my website) for the first class.
COVID protocol for people: Folks may choose to wear a mask or refrain from wearing one if vaccinated. Primarily we will be working outside.
Dates: Wednesdays, October 13th, 20th, 27th, and November 3rd 2022. From 1-1:45 pm. NOTE: The first session is a one-hour, people-only orientation. 1pm-2pm.
Fee: $ 247.00 (Tax included).

A “conversation starter” is a set of behaviors your dog has learned well and LOVES to perform in different settings such as home, off-leash, the dog park, the coffee shop, etc. Conversation starters puts your dog in an appropriate mindset, relaxed yet engaged because they can perform them with proficiency. And proficiency indeed feels good!
A principal outcome of having regular “conversations” with your dog is that it teaches your dog that you are unpredictable (in a fun way) and worth engaging with. These are skills that most people would love to have in their lives with their dogs but seldom do since they require know-how, practice and a willingness to spend time with their dog. During our time together we will explore behaviors that fit the bill for a conversation, learn how to use important parameters such as working at a distance (from your dog) and when distractions are present.
Conversation starts are indeed the first-steps for achieving off-leash freedom with your dog! (For more on off-leash adventures please visit Safe and Fun Hiking with Your Off-Leash Dog course)
