Lucy Chaides is a dog psychology and behavior specialist based in Los Angeles and the founder of The Happy Dog Club LA. Her mission is simple yet profound: to help people build trust, respect, and deep connections with their dogs by learning to speak their dog's language.

Her journey into animal psychology began in 2014 after meeting Sky, a Malamute with both a loving side and challenging behaviors. What started as curiosity quickly turned into a lifelong passion for understanding the canine mind. Since then, Lucy has dedicated her career to dog psychology training and behavior modification, working with all breeds and personalities.

The Happy Dog Club was inspired by Toby, her grandparents’ beloved dog and the happiest, most well-balanced companion she had ever known. As a child, Lucy would encourage others to “be happy like Toby”—a message that continues to shape her work today.

Within this episode, Lucy shares her expertise, compassion, and real-world experience. We explore dog psychology, behavior solutions, and the beautiful bond between people and their four-legged family members.
