The trainers accept a maximum of two to three dogs at a time to ensure one-on-one attention.

The curriculum includes relationship-building games, socialization, supervised play, treadmill training, pack walking, calming exercises, and real-world outings to parks, markets, and stores.

Group lessons, known as Calm Basic and Calm Advanced, are held weekly at Patterson Park for one hour over four weeks. The approach focuses on building mindfulness, impulse control, and a structured routine rather than merely managing symptoms. Training methods utilize food to build engagement and focus, eventually transitioning to variable and random rewards.
