Step one for the place command: luring

You hear me talk about the place command all the time, and we’ve finally made a series of videos to show you the step-by-step process to teach your dog this wonderful command.

Step one is simply luring your dog onto the cot and rewarding for any length of time that your dog stays on the cot. Don’t worry if they pop right off, this step is simply getting your dog comfortable on the cot. Some dogs may be nervous or confused, so take your time and really help them understand that getting onto the cot gets them a reward. You’ll see their confidence come up and a willingness to jump on the cot in no time!
