What we’re about
Living with an Emotional Dog—a dog that is constantly stressed, fearful, anxious, or aggressive is a very complex proposition. Part of the reason this is so challenging is that, for the most part, pet parents /owners of these dogs are navigating the daily challenges of their care and management on their own.
In my eighteen years of training dogs professionally, I have witnessed first-hand the emotional toll that caring for an Emotional Dog implies.
While Emotional Dogs must learn essential skills such as resilience and flexibility and become more confident and optimistic overall (yes, dogs can be pessimistic or optimistic), their caregivers must also learn important skills to make a difference in their dogs’ lives. When folks find themselves overwhelmed and without support, the chances of their dog improving are paltry at best.
I strongly believe that pet parents of Emotional Dogs need support, so I have created a learning and support group to fill the gap.
Welcome to C.H.A.C.O’s EMOTIONAL Dog Support & Learning Private Group. As a member of the group, you will receive,
Professional guidance to be better equipped to navigate the ins and outs of daily living with your Emotional Dog.
Strategies and methodologies to put into practice to relieve overwhelm and gain clarity on how to move forward with your dog’s management and training.
Practical training tools, such as monthly training plans that can make a real difference for your dog. These are not just tools but potential solutions that can positively change your dog’s behavior.
Learn about the nature of under-socialization, fear, and trauma from the fields of the science of animal learning and neuroscience.
Learn about the ethology of dogs, how they learn, and how we can harness their natural behaviors to teach them skills to improve their quality of life.
Get practical and actionable advice that you can implement to help your dog become more comfortable at home and the world at large. You have the power to make a difference in your dog’s life.
I hope you will join us!

Requirements:#### The class/fitness club is open to eight handlers and their dogs. Dogs must be comfortable working around other dogs and people – no lunging or excessive barking.
#### Dogs of all breeds, ages five months and up, can participate. Please note: I do not use or endorse corrections, such as leash pops, in training. If this is how you like to train your dog, I respect that. However, the class and my training philosophy are not a good match for folks using corrections with their dog.
#### We will meet on our bi-monthly outings in a pre-determined location in Santa Fe.
#### Registration and payment are required to have a spot.
#### Introductory rate per team per session.
