Classes and Sign Up Form

Thank you for your interest in C.H.A.C.O. Dog Training and Behavior Consulting, LLC. Here is a list of our upcoming classes. We look forward to helping you and your dog soon!

About our classes:

C.H.A.C.O.’s  Boutique™ dog training classes offer curriculums designed with real-life applications in mind. You and your dog will be able to use what you learned in class in your everyday life. 

Our classes are always small, except for Kinder Pup 1, which is open to six puppies. All other courses cap at four dogs and their handlers. Boutique classes mean more personal attention, less stress, and more learning. 

 Classes take place in either a spacious, secure outside location – surrounded by Junipers and Piñon trees or in an inside classroom, which is ample and always at the right temperature. Parking is never a problem. We are located 15 minutes North from downtown Santa Fe.

Come check us out! You will not be disappointed. For new clients, please scroll down (past class offerings) to complete the questionnaire, and for current clients, please complete this form here.

From Tiny to Mighty! Teaching your small-breed dog to be comfortable, and confident in their world. @ CHACO's Hub
Tickets
Oct 13 @ 1:00 pm – 1:45 pm

Registration closes: When class is full or on Sunday October 9th at 5 pm.

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).

Conversation Starters – The Required First Steps for Off-leash Freedom with Your Dog @ CHACO's Hub
Tickets
Oct 15 @ 10:00 am – Nov 5 @ 11:00 am

Registration closes: When class is full or on Sunday, October 9th at 5 pm.  3 spots left!

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)

Check out this video for more information!

The Details: The class is open to 4 dogs five months of age onward and their handler that are comfortable working around people and dogs. No lunging or barking at other people or dogs.

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: Saturdays, October 15th, 22nd,  29th, and November 5th, 2022. From 10 am-11am.

NOTE: The first session is a people-only orientation.

Fee: $ 247.00 (Tax included).
