Baron and Bela have been learning a "place" command while they have been at our home. The "place" command teaches them to be calm in the house and gives them a place to be without getting under foot or into trouble all of the time. They have learned to stay on this place even with the distraction of other dogs, us eating dinner, or even when we leave the room. This has become a safe area for them and has helped to establish boundaries in the home. They are also learing to stay in a down while I am getting ready for bed at night or when I am at the computer without having to be put on a specific "place".
