In this episode, I give step by step directions on how to start teaching a place or station behavior. This is a foundation behavior that is useful in so many different scenarios, and I think all dogs should know this.
The main things to remember are:
1) Simply reset and put your dog back on the station if he leaves.
2) As you increase duration or distance, make sure you increase your rate of reinforcement.
3) Remember to experiment with the rate of reinforcement and slowly increase time between treats, otherwise you risk a dog that gets frustrated and overzealous.
