Calm Down Coffee Shop
Get your dog ready to enjoy trips to coffee shops, restaurants and other public spaces where they need to sit and chill for extended times.
What do we cover?
In this 6 weeks course of 30 minutes each week, we introduce your dog to sitting or lying calmly around the distractions of a typical coffee shop. Starting with chilling out on a bed/mat to ignoring passing people, dropped food, and loud noises we look to cover the fundamentals of any everyday trip to a public space. We also add in work around walking nicely to your spot in the coffee shop and leaving without causing a scene.
Who is this course for?
This group course is designed for dogs of any age and ability level, however it is preferable that you have completed some foundation obedience course first. It is not suitable for dogs who cannot engage when out in public or get excessively excited when seeing dogs, people or food.
Preparing for your course
There are a few things to bring with you to your course.
- Training treats
- Comfortable harness
- Fixed length leash
- A non-squeaky toy your dog likes
- Water & a bowl to drink from
- Towels for drying off

Please try to avoid feeding your dog for 2 hours before class unless they have a medical condition that requires more frequent food.
Please note that we do not permit any tools in class that are aversive in nature, this includes: choke chains; slip leads; martingales; electric collars; no-pull harnesses (harnesses that get tighter when pulled); prong collars; or retractable leashes.

Our group courses are held outdoors either in our training field just outside of Prosperous or in Monread Park in Naas. The course is run on grass so please dress for the weather. We run classes in public spaces so that we are working on the distractions of every day life from the get go.
