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.
Registration is now closed.
Kinder Pup 1
Class Description:
Your puppy’s appropriate socialization should start pronto! A well-socialized puppy – one that welcomes the interaction of friendly people and dogs- is a happy pup and a pleasure to live with. Kinder Pup 1 curriculum supports learning at the puppies level and real-life scenarios because puppies are still puppies even when you leave the classroom. Kinder Pup 1 is designed to teach your pup that people and dogs mean good things to him/her.
In addition, we will work together on teaching your puppy basic obedience (sit, stay, leave it, come, and loose-leash walking) and real-life manners.
You will also learn how to minimize problems such as excessive chewing, house-soiling, home alone, and puppy play biting.
During class, puppies will have an opportunity to play with other friendly pups, pay attention to you, and gain confidence and social skills.

I’m giving this Puppy Culture Exercise Booklet to the 1st four people enrolling in Kinder Pup 1.
Here are the details of the booklet:
The Puppy Culture Exercise Booklet is essential to raising a puppy healthily and safely. If every puppy parent reads and follows these guidelines, potential injuries can be avoided. It is a must-read for all puppy parents!
Registration closes when class is full or on Monday, February 24th, 2025. You must fill out the questionnaire below and pay for a spot in the class. 2 spots left!
Loose Leash Walking for the Dedicated Puller
Dogs pull when on a leash for a myriad of reasons. Walking on a loose leash does not come naturally to dogs, and it is also challenging to teach once the dog is a dedicated puller. However, if you practice regularly the strategies and games you and your dog will learn in class, your dog will learn to walk on a loose leash. In this course, we will practice a few training games to convey to your dog that walking on a loose leash is the new game in town!
Requirements: Five months of age or older. A flat collar AND a harness would be ideal.
Open to all breeds. The class is not suited for dogs lunging at other dogs or people on a leash.
Instructor: Almudena Ortiz Cué M.A. CTC, CPDT, Tellington TTouch™ Cert.
The Details:
The first meeting is a people orientation. There are no dogs.
In our last class, we will meet in a pre-determined location in Santa Fe to practice our newfound skills in a more challenging setting.
