Dog Training Tips! - Mastering the 'PLACE' Command (PART 2) Dog Training Basics

Welcome back to Dan’s Pet Care! In this session, lead trainer Stephanie takes you through a detailed training session with Lucas, focusing on the advanced 'place' command. This command is essential for teaching your dog to go to a specific spot, stay there, and wait for a release cue. Stephanie explains the significance of training for duration—asking your dog to maintain a command over time, which is often more challenging but highly rewarding. Learn the nuances of treat management to ensure you are not overfeeding your dog during training sessions. Stephanie demonstrates how to use small pieces of a single treat to reward Lucas, reinforcing the behavior over extended periods without excessive calories. This method encourages sustained attention and discipline from your pet. This video is ideal for pet parents who want to move beyond basic commands and work on their dog's ability to stay calm and placed in a variety of distracting scenarios. Follow along as Stephanie shows how patience, consistency, and correct reward timing play crucial roles in successful dog training.
