Indoor Fun for Calmer Condo Dogs
As the weather gets colder and outdoor walks get shorter, this seminar brings the fun indoors! Perfect for condo dogs who hate the cold but still need to burn energy, we’ll show you how to turn your home into a playful enrichment zone.
In just 45 minutes, you’ll learn easy indoor agility/CORE-inspired moves and scenting games that boost calm, burn energy, and reduce condo barking and restlessness—all using simple household items.
A warm, fun, and enriching way to help your condo dog feel calmer, happier, and more fulfilled all winter long.
What You’ll Learn Across Both Sessions
- How to create fun, condo-friendly obstacles using simple household items
- Build a 5-skill indoor obstacle course that works in any size condo
- Teach your dog to find specific items or scents using easy scenting foundations
- Play the fan-favourite Treasure Hunt game—a sniffing adventure that never gets old
- Combine movement + sniffing to burn energy and boost calm indoors
- Modify each game for puppies, rescues, and high-energy dogs
- Use enrichment strategically to reduce barking, pacing, and condo restlessness
