Elevators are used everyday by urban dogs around the world. Most owners don't think twice about entering the elevator with their dog. Have you ever looked at the occupants or asked if they were comfortable with having a dog in that confined space with them? Unlike the TARDIS from Dr. Who, an elevator isn't larger on the inside. Believe it or not, there are people who would rather not have Poochy jumping on their business suit right before their presentation.
Tip for the day:
When the elevator arrives at your floor and already has occupants, ask them if they are comfortable sharing the elevator. Make sure that you (the person) are the first one entering the elevator. This is the following through doorways rule from the first post. Have your dog sit by your side. Even if it takes the entire ride to get your dog to sit, you must persevere. Bring treats for bribery. The work that you are doing will pay off in the end and you will have a calm, welcome, canine elevator traveling companion.
