We love place boards, or dog cots. They have so many applications, but teaching your dog to station, and that it is a safe place where they can relax, is a valuable skill. Here are a few of the place boards we like. As an Amazon affiliate, if you use these links to order, I earn a small commission. There are more in the blog section of our website, along with links to other great products.

This is a nice one.

If your dog goes crazy when you go to get the leash, create a different emotion and a different routine surrounding the leash. Practice several times a day and move to the next step only when your dog can be calm with the previous step. Practice makes progress. You can't train in the moment. You must train FOR the moment.

Remember, behaviors that are practiced become stronger. Behaviors that are reinforced, are repeated.
Does your dog get stressed or over-aroused at the thought of a walk? If so, which step do you see those emotions?
