We love using a bed or a mat as a station to let your dog know where they should go to wait for you until you give them further instruction. This is a useful behavior because the mat is meant to be PORTABLE and you can take it with you to the park, on a hike, to a training class, or to a restaurant patio. Start by training your dog to go to their station in different rooms in your house. Stationing comes in handy when you’re busy in the kitchen, watching tv, or working on the computer. Going to Mat is a practical life skill that makes life easier for dogs and people. - dog training, dog tricks, dog training tutorial, dog training video, clicker training, positive reinforcement dog training
