RDRS-01 B4 · Pass/fail. Fail this requirement and the outcome is Not Certified.
Conditions known to harm a dog's welfare in shared living, such as sustained noise transmission between units, are actively mitigated.
Where a structural limitation genuinely prevents full mitigation, the provider takes the reasonable measures available to it and discloses the limitation to the resident before they commit. Taking no action, or citing the building's age or construction without taking the measures available, does not meet this requirement.
A dog kept on edge by constant noise is not living well. 'The building is old' is not an excuse for doing nothing.
