Teach your dog to settle calmly on a mat

Показать описание
Having your dog go to their mat, and stay there, is a life skill every dog should learn!

⭐️ SAVE THIS POST for future reference

Using a settle mat is a versatile foundational skill that can promote calmness and teach your dog alternatives to jumping, barking, counter-surfing, and many other undesired behaviors.

Step 1: Place a mat on the ground. Any type such as a towel, yoga mat, or door mat will work.

Step 2: Rapid fire treats one at a time to the same spot on the mat. Deliver so quickly that your dog has no time to bring their head up to look around between treats.

Step 3: As your dog begins to settle, reduce the rate of treats.

Step 4: To end the exercise, say your dog's release word, toss a treat off the mat and pick up the mat.

Take it to the next level
Increase distractions and use a higher-value treat. Try this at the vet’s office, at a park, waiting for an obedience class to start, while guests come into the house, or while watching TV.

Pro Tip
To make it easier for your dog to settle for extended periods, give them a long-term chew while on the mat, such as a Bow Wow Buddy and a bully stick. Use promo GOLDEN for 10% off. @bowwowlabs

Troubleshooting
If your dog gets up between treats, check you are treating fast enough and to the same spot on the mat each time.

Ensure you use a high-value treat if trying mat work in a new area with many distractions.

I introduced my dog to my best friend and his wife. He settled for sure when he married her. Best lesson my dog ever learned. Now when we are at the bark park he looks at the ladies with a more discerning eye
