‘Spot’
‘Spot’ Purpose- Training your dog to go to their ‘spot’ can prevent your dog from jumping on you or house guests. It prevents them from begging at the dinner table. It can also prevent them from crowding you as you walk through the door with your children or a bag full of groceries. Criteria- Your dog leaves you to go lay down on their designated ‘spot’. They should remain there until you release them. Que- Point toward their ‘spot’ and say ‘spot’ or ‘go spot’. You may also say ‘place’ or ‘bed’. Behavior Pyramid Your dog should be clicker trained. Find a blanket, towel, or bed that you would like to designate as your dogs ‘spot’. Put the ‘spot’ in an area that your dog still feels part of the family such as your living room or outside the kitchen. You can have multiple ‘spots’ in the house. Stand next
