"Go to your spot" is huge helpful in situation where you want to forward the dog’s act. similar to for case when you have friends at your home, you absolutely do not want your dog to jump all over your friends and irritate and panic your friends. In this situation if the dog is trained for "go to you spot" which could be any thing, his couch or mat or area, you get the all situation under manage.
The "go to" command is also helpful when:
1. You are having your lunch and do not want your dog to beg around.
2. As soon as he is barking excessively, this command forward his mind productively and helps to make him still.
Before training your dog for this command, keep a few stuff in mind:
1. The dog should never feel this command as a punishment. Thus apply it only when essential.
2. Fix his spot like the bed or his crate or someplace you want him to relax and do not change it again . Like if you have set up him to the command "go to your bed" then do not change it by saying "go to your crate or mat". This generate confusion.
Step By Step
dog training
Step1:
Move two meters away from the mark. Call your dog. Give him the command "go to your mat". At the same time as doing so, direct your finger towards his mat and throw his Interesting treat over pets mat. He will run to the spot to take the treat. Praise him moment he does so.
Step2:
Replicate the above technique a number of times. All time you should point towards his mat same time giving him the command. Be generous in giving treats and praises.
Step3:
When the dog has started act upon you, slowly increase your space from his mat. First command the dog same time you are in the same room, then slowly shift on to the another room and then outside the house.
A winning "go to your spot" will make the dog come back to his mat or bed from anyplace.
Step4:
Once the dog has mastered the command, it is the time to decrease the treats, but not praises!
Treat him each three or four time he act upon you. In its place of giving him the treat to lure, reward the dog for his obedience.
Step5:
Practice makes the man great! The Same rule holds good for dogs also. Recur the above
dog training steps number of times in a day and soon you will find you’re self to be a proud master of an obedient dog.
