✨ Why “Relax on the Magic Mat” Is a Must-Have Skill for Puppies ✨

Teaching a young puppy how to auto-settle on a magic mat is one of the most valuable life skills you can build early on.

This skill helps puppies:
• Learn how to calm their own bodies and minds
• Build emotional regulation and frustration tolerance
• Develop an off-switch — rest is a skill, not just the absence of activity
• Feel confident and secure in new environments
• Practice making good choices without being told what to do

When puppies choose to relax on their mat, they’re learning that calm behavior works and is rewarding. Over time, this translates to better focus, easier handling, improved leash skills, and fewer “busy puppy” moments at home.

🐶 Pepper, pictured here, is doing a beautiful job demonstrating this skill — choosing to settle, relax, and feel safe on her magic mat. This is exactly what we want to see in young learners.

Calm is not forced.
Calm is taught.
Calm is practiced.

And it starts right here. 🩷

Even the Christmas decorations around town these days have become opportunities for training and desensitization! And of course, really cute photo ops!

Distractions like these are another golden reason to always be sure to take food rewards with you on your walks! You never know what you’re going to come across to help your dog with.

How does your dog do with the decorations like this Santa?
