Nurturing Beautiful Relationships

Apartment/Condo Calm

A class to help people and dogs co-exist calmly in smaller spaces

For individuals encountering challenges with their own dogs or those belonging to others within apartment, high-rise, or condominium settings, this class provides a structured and effective solution. Tailored to residents of multi-unit buildings whose dogs may have difficulty remaining calm, the session is designed to equip both owners and their pets with strategies for composure in close quarters.

Instruction encompasses key skills such as maintaining calm in lobbies, navigating hallways, observing proper elevator etiquette, achieving reliable stays even when distracted, and implementing methods for settling and relaxation.

These drop-in classes are scheduled bimonthly and coordinated by one or more representatives from each building complex. All sessions take place on the premises; therefore, access to a spacious common area or party room is required.
