About C.H.A.C.O Dog Training & Behavior Consulting LLC
Living in a human-centered world often creates behavioral challenges we do not understand and certainly did not expect. When that happens, the dream of ease, connection, and companionship can begin to feel painfully out of reach. Perhaps you have experienced the frustration or confusion when your dog lunges on leash, is fearful aggressive or mis-behaving. You do not need to help your dog alone! After twenty years of helping clients with their dogs’ behavioral needs, I know progress can feel bumpy and uncertain. It becomes easier when we understand why a dog is struggling and how to respond with patience, skill, and care. Please visit my website to learn about the right training help for your dog.

- Parkour Level 1
Program details
As described by the International Dog Parkour Association (www.dogparkour.org) Dog Parkour is thought of as urban agility. It is a fun activity that teaches dogs to safely and confidently engage with obstacles in the environment. Dogs are taught how to climb, balance, jump among other activities. I would add that Dog Parkour can double as a fantastic and quick way to engage your dog mentally and physically. This class is ideal for dogs that need a “job,” energetic dogs (that are driving their people craa-zy!) as well as dogs that need to learn to enjoy novel things.In this level ONE course we will work on having dogs learn how to: balance, back up, pivot on two feet and wait on an obstacle.

- Tellington TTouch
Program details
Tellington TTouch® is a method of working with animals that effectively reduces stress, fear, aggression, and anxiety. It is also useful in modifying behavior, increase flexibility, and—when combined with veterinarian care—aid in recovery. https://chacodogtraining.com/how-i-can-help/
Tellington TTouch® is a method of working with animals that has proven effective in reducing stress, fear, aggression and anxiety; as well as modify behavior, increase flexibility and—when combined with veterinarian care—aid in recovery. The approach is gentle yet systematic and helps animals to better cope with different and novel situations. It improves confidence, focus and learning.With the use of gentle touches, body wraps and groundwork (a variety of exercises with equipment) we engage and calm the animal’s nervous system as well as teach the animal to move in non-habitual ways. Since an animal that is stressed or anxious cannot learn, the incorporation of TTouch® allows me to aid an animal (in my case dogs, cats, birds and rabbits) by teaching them how to relax. The animal can then focus on learning new ways of coping with situations in which he previously reacted with fear, concern or anxiety.
