teach go to place
With the holiday season around the corner, now is the time to begin holiday training. What if instead of jumping around like a lunatic when the doorbell rings, your dog waits politely in a down position? Or, instead of circling the dinner table like a shark, your dog lies quietly in the other room? Training a dog to go to a specific place, such as a mat or bed, is one of the most useful behaviors for holiday training and beyond. Since the mat is portable, your dog will have a place to settle down on-the-go, too!
In this video, Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner Sarah Walsh demonstrates how to teach go to place. For more training tips and ideas, check out our blogs and our Dog Trainer Foundations course!
Happy Training!
