Of course, a rock, solid, recall such as "Come" is essential for every dog to know. But the command "Place" will add Peace and Harmony to you and your dog's life.
And guess what else? It doesn't take much to get this command right!
What's it like when Company comes over? Do you lock your dog up in the spare bedroom? Is your dog crated then let out after your guests have settled in. Do you have rules for your guests? Don't look or touch the dog. Do you find your self apologizing for the dog before your guests even enter your house.
Wouldn't this be a dream come true? Dogs laying still, not jumping all over your guests!
Let me tell you dreams can come true. With this "Place" command, dogs are taught to stay until released.
Here is how you teach the Best Command Ever.
1. Choose a comfy dog bed.
2. On leash, walk your dog on to the dog bed.
3. Wait for your dog to settle.
4. Tell your dog "Good".
5. Say "Let's Go", then walk your dog off the dog bed.
That's it! Alright, so yes, you must practice! You must build duration. You can make "Place" the greatest ever by rewarding with food while your dog is on it. But the deal is, your dog doesn't have to be in any position such as Sit or Down. Just STAY on it!!! Also your dog needs to understand there will be no getting off of it until you say so.
So get ready to teach the Best Command EVER and you will have Peace of mind and a Place for your dog to be when the door bell rings.
