Morning Place session with these two and we are raising the stakes! They are closer together today and I am playing YouTube sound videos in the background of doorbells, barking dogs, etc. Tavv is rocking that head down position and Bailey is rocking that crazy ear! #dogsonplace #labradorsofinstagram #labradoodlesofinstagram #TraverseCityDogTraining #TraverseCity #Dog #DogTraining #DogTrainer (at Traverse City, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7OKW8XBqcy/?igshid=5qg4gxxzfozl

Today we are working on increasing Bailey's Place duration. By the time she goes home she'll be able to do a couple few hours on place. Today we'll shoot for about 45 minutes which isn't bad for a 4 month old puppy. Place is a great way to give your dog a job to do while you are otherwise occupied. You can include them your day rather than having to put them in a crate or maybe out in the yard. #chocolatelab #dogsonplace #dogs #dogtraining #traversecity #traversecitydog #traversecitydogs  #traversecitydogtraining #traversecitydogtrainer  (at Traverse City, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4vFuwmhCmI/?igshid=1t9xuwpjjj8p1

My own dogs also spend time on Place. They are expected to be in a calm state of mind no matter what is going on around them. #australianshepherd #bordercollie #dogsonplace #dogs #dogtraining #traversecity #traversecitydog #traversecitydogs #traversecitydogtraining #traversecitydogtrainer (at Traverse City, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4aFEchh2ZE/?igshid=77wyl6kilqk0

Lots of nothing going on up in here. Auggie can now handle staying on place while I briefly step into the next room. This is great for confidence building. #dogsonplace #australianshepherd #dogs #dogtraining #traversecity #traversecitydog #traversecitydogs  #traversecitydogtraining #traversecitydogtrainer  https://www.instagram.com/p/B3k_6AkBmj7/?igshid=1m3gp5bj46tnv

This is a very boring picture and looks like a whole bunch of nothing besides a dog sleeping. But it's actually a very important benchmark in our training. When the dog gets to a point where they are comfortable enough to fall asleep, we know they understand what we are asking. They have started to internalize the idea of being Calm on Command and they settle right down and get to "work". #dogsonplace #bernesemountaindog #dogs #dogtraining #traversecity #traversecitydog #traversecitydogs  #traversecitydogtraining #traversecitydogtrainer #meghantrainer #fairydogmother #aviewofthebayanddogsallday #BeaconBayDogTraining (at Traverse City, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B247KwThI1T/?igshid=10rgvjpmh3v3g
