Teach your dog to place
How to begin to teach your dog to place!
Shape getting on:
1. Stand near the bed and wait for your dog to interact with it. (If your dog is struggling you can switch to luring them on with a treat in hand)
2. Say Yes and reward on the bed when your dog does interact. This can be just 1 paw or 2, or getting all the way onto the bed.
Repeat from different angles and approaches until your dog is consistent!
Add verbal cues:
1. Cue to get on: say this cue as your dog approaches the bed each time. (
2. Cue for release: Give this cue followed by tossing a treat to prompt your dog to get off.
Repeat multiple repetitions!
Practice the D’s:
1. Distance: Movement around and away from the bed. Build up slowly!
2. Duration: Time between treats and time on bed. Add time slowly!
Practice Practice Practice!
Next steps:

Fade the treat toss from your release cue and lure to get on the bed if you used one
