Would you love to be able to take your dog to a café and actually enjoy your coffee?
Our Calm Café Training Walk is designed to help your dog develop the skills they need to feel comfortable, settle and relax in busy everyday environments.
We’ll begin with a relaxed group walk, practising simple exercises that encourage engagement, calmness and good communication between you and your dog. We’ll then head to a dog-friendly café where we can put those skills into practice in a real-life setting.
During the session we’ll work on things such as:
- Encouraging your dog to check in with you
- Building a positive and reliable “leave it”
- Helping your dog settle on a mat or beside your chair
- Reinforcing calm behaviour around people, dogs, food and other distractions
- Recognising when your dog needs a little more space
- Making café visits feel relaxed and enjoyable rather than overwhelming
This is a friendly, supportive small-group session and there is absolutely no expectation for your dog to behave perfectly. The whole point is to practise!
Maximum 6 dogs so that everyone has plenty of space and individual support.
Please bring plenty of small, tasty treats, water for your dog and something comfortable for them to lie on, such as a small mat or blanket.
