When in the elevator with the door open, praise and give your dog a treat and then leave the elevator together while praising and treating your dog. When you get in the elevator, press “door open” to prevent the doors from closing. When the elevator comes, give your dog a treat and then walk into the elevator, using a happy voice to encourage your dog to go with you. Wait until there aren’t other people waiting so you can go at your dog’s pace and focus on your dog instead of trying to stay out of the way of people bustling in and out of the elevator. When your dog is calm and comfortable near the elevator, it’s time to practice getting in the and out of the elevator. Treat and repeat until your dog is calm and comfortable near the elevator. Give him a dog treat for any interest in the elevator and make sure your dog isn’t nervous about the signs and sounds of the elevator before moving on. Let your dog experience the sights and sounds of the elevator first by having your dog watch the elevator door open and close. While you are working on getting your dog used to riding comfortably in elevators, use the staircase as most dogs will be more comfortable with the stairs until they get used to elevators. When teaching your dog to ride in an elevator, go at your dog’s pace and don’t force your dog into an elevator.
