Laundry even gets in the trash .how do i make her stop all of this .when i put her out for timeout she wont stay .and when i put her in timeout i exsplain to her its bad and you dont get a treat .shes very loveable loves attention and she gets it all the time my question is what am i doing wrong ..my nehew got a german shepherd also shes 3 yrs old minds very well .i just dont understand why his minds and im having a hard time with mine .is it because of there age growing out of it .please help me with any suggestions.this dog is spoilt i love her so much
heyy what breed is wally sorry to ask
Can you link the bed?
every single time my puppy does something new that i want to know how to manage or teach her to do/ stop doing, Rachel uploads the answer like clockwork, seriously THANK YOU! my maltipoo is only 3 months old and i’ve only had her for 1 1/2 months and this young lady’s vidoes have helped me with crate training, sit and down commands, and even about my pets nutrition.. WOW she deserves an award🙌🏼
I just wanted to pop on here to really thank you for making this video. I purchased a 5-month-old puppy about 6 weeks ago and this is my first puppy in my adult portion of my 52 years. I did have three other dogs that I didn't love half as much as I love this little girl and I hate to say that. But, to the point lol, I subscribed to many many dog content creators. So far, all the ones that I joined are really good as well as you. But, I wanted to say that place can be a strange concept to understand. I was wondering why I would want my dog to go sit there in a specific place when I tell them to as opposed to just go sit. The way you explained it and put so much clarity into it and value on it for the dog to have a place to go that makes her safe and free and comfortable and all of those things, no one else has done that. I can't explain to you how good this video made me feel. Thank you once again and keep up the good work.
Rachel - thanks for the videos, found them a great help
Thank You so much for the tips and research you do for us pet parents i love your videos keep them coming you been so helpful.
Wait!!! I love this! I work a lot with dogs choosing to do things on their own but I never thought to do it with place. Trying this.
It is actually most helpful when your dog makes a mistake. Otherwise we have no idea what to do when our dog does. Also could you show how you would do things like this with their raw food dinner.
Your videos are super cute! I love your enthusiasm!
I’m glad he got off because that’s realistically what will happen at first and now we can see how you handled it! I love how dogs learn from positive repetition rather than negative reprimands. Thank you for your videos.
Something I need thank you my dog jumps loads ❤️ definitely try it
I’ve learned a lot about timing of rewarding from these videos. Like rewarding mid-stream, or not right after he got back on place. It makes so much sense, but I didn’t think of it before this.
Love that you’re a Gustav klimt fan
I just want to point out how cute Wally’s bandana is, it looks perfect on him! This video is honestly super important for all dog owners out there too
I started place training way too late. As in i should have done it from day one of getting him. Hes 1 now and ive started doing place training. And it took 2 days and the excessive obnoxious barking has almost ceased. He hardly barked at the mail man. Place training has been the unexpected best tool for improving his manners and behaviour
These videos are very helpful. My new puppy enjoys her training 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶
Ohh my goodness- I’ve loved your videos for years Rachel and have been following Wally’s journey since the day you and your mum bought him home- I haven’t watched a video for a while- can’t believe how BIG HE IS now 💜😱 And, super excited about this video! Bringing our puppy home soon and will definitely be training for ‘place’ command. x
You have made my night, tysm love! 😍😍
So much WALLACE!!!! Awwwwwww!
I am using the lid to a large plastic tool / storage chest from Home Depot. It’s off the floor a couple of inches, a definite place, moveable too. Works for my11 wk old pup who wants to chew everything. She learned Down today. Did it 30 times, and then did Down in other rooms without the lid and without treats, just my praise. Yay!
This is exactly what I needed! I’ve been wanting to start touching my puppy a place command but didn’t know how to start. My puppy is starting to get big and gets in the way during meal times and jumping when people come over.
i love your videos they really help
Hey! I just wanted to say that you should really really make merch! I would totally buy it!
Great idea!
I absolutely love your videos. They've been so helpful training my pup. Quick question-I know you posted a video about the Whistle Go tracer a year or so ago, but was wondering if you would still recommend them? Thanks!
Your videos are awesome!
What a good looking boy 😊
Love your videos! Getting our puppy Saturday and have been watching ur videos for months in preparation
Thats what i am doing lol i am trying to learn as much as pos lol 😂
Great video as always, I am very excited to try this with my puppy. Could you add how you teach FREE or RELEASE in another video? I want to make sure I know how to do that before teaching PLACE. Thanks!
Hello from Texas 🤠
Absolutely love your videos! In this video you said you would demonstrate how to release your dog but I believe you forgot! Do you have a video showing how to do that?
Loving your videos! Should place be somewhere different than the crate or can it be the crate?
I have found your channel to be the most helpful of any out there. Thank you! Any thoughts on an unruly, jumping, hard biting, 4 month old English Shepherd? My rescued Maltese is having problems with being attacked, and I have to carry him up high for to go outside! I know he’s mad because he peed on a pole while he and I were in the basement without the puppy.I feel so sorry for him!
All your treats and toys ,love the crates you reference but super $$$!$$ I don’t work any more so no longer good money , but for people who have it , they are all wonderful
Oh I need this so bad, our 11 week pup constantly jump up on us or guests, so this yessss for me.
How do you conditioned them with the command "FREE"? Can you make a video on it? I've seen other videos on using "YES" and "FREE" (continuous reward vs terminal reward). It's a little confusing on this area. Hope to hear from you soon!
My Labrador gets up all the time too. She know to get on her mat, but then she often get up and goes to lay on the floor instead.
Yes please!! Same!! A video on how you teach them their release command would be greatly appreciate!!
Yes that would be great
Throw a treat and say it
@christinarangel6971 Yes exactly! That would be the preferred method just like when you're trying them to get on.
This is great. How do u get them to stop barking while in place?
What brand is that elevated bed
Also, candy corn gang 🤣
I looked for this Foldable bed and can't find it on your site.
I tell my Cavapoo pups, Daisy age 2 and Poppy 1yr., go on your bed. They are pretty used to it. How do I switch name of bed to place? Or is it even necessary to change?
This video was awesome. How old was the dog in this video. ? I have a 10 week old pomapoo that I’m getting thru with 1-2 commands so far but definitely want to get to this position
What is the brand of cot\ place bed you show in this video? Don’t see it lasted on your shop page
Hi there, new to your videos! Very helpful. My question is, how do you get them not to run off as soon as they get their treat? Do you just keep repeating the command?
Hi Rachel -- thanks for your videos; they're super helpful! I was just wondering when you would use "place" to get your dog on a dog bed vs when you would want them to go in their crate, and how does your dog know to distinguish between the two in different scenarios? Thank you!!
She uses the word ‘crate’ when she wants them to go in the crate and ‘place’ when she wants them on the bed
Lol
Love the video it’s an extended version of the old one which is great I would love a video on your old dog I think it was a corgi thanks again! Edit: I was wondering if you could make a video on how to get your dog to know that it’s training time cause my dog seems to have an issue with that
Amazing video! Thank you! Could you tel me where you got that dog bed?! I love it. It would be perfect for my golden doodle as well.
You can get dog cots like that on Amazon.
Can Place be used instead of a crate or in place of a crate? I have a Great Pyrenees puppy and the size of crate that will be needed is more than I'm able to handle. It really isn't feasible to take a XXL crate with us in our camper either, which we camp very often.
Do you have a separate “place” for each of your dogs? How do you handle that?
Rachel!! LOVE your videos. Thank you so much for educating the community. How do I treat the tear stains of my puppy? Please please let me know a more natural way to treat them. I don’t want to use commercial stain removers with lot of chemicals on him.
Could you do a video about boundary training? I am struggling and I know it’s not my dogs fault she is highly motivated i must be doing to wrong
Link to your foldable elevated bed please
Is place similar to a crate? Im currently using a crate, when should you introduce place?
How do I know which places I can take my puppy in Austin? Like Home Depot, Lowe’s, etc?
where did you get that foldable place bed/cot i looking for a xxxl one. thanks
Hi! Any tips of teaching free/release?
What is the brand of foldable elevated bed?
How to have puppy stay in place and only get out after release command? I think this video focuses on how to condition the dog to love the “place” but how to make them stay until release? Can you please do another video on that? My dog will jump off once there is distractions 😆
How long can you leave the dog in the place?
The raised dog bed on Amazon is no longer available … do you know the brand? Trying to find it online as I too like the fold design
Does the Place have to be different than the crate? Or can they be the same?
Can you use a crate as a place?
Hello. How do I train my puppy if he is not food motivated or don’t like any treats?
Great video! I have a question ... How does the puppy/dog know when you want him to go to the place mat? Like what do you call the place mat when asking or telling him to go and stay on it? Hope that question makes sense.
She says the word ‘place’
Wish I could order barkbox from Europe..
Is that in the living room? And where is the kennel? Or do you phase out the kennel in the living room and only have it in the bedroom?
I have a 10 week puppy - shih tzu ....she is tiny...so I tried to use a blanket for the 'Place queue" and even though I am training her to potty on the pad, she peed on the blanket. Any suggestion as to how I can change this behaviour? It's happened 3 times already...: -(
Can crate be in place of place?
I love this!(Donna,a healthier dog
Hi I know this is the topic but what is your opinion in neutering I have mini schnauzer really don’t want do it but everybody recommends do it even vet thanks .
We will be getting our new puppy (she's a Miniature Dachshund) around the beginning of May. I have been watching your training videos regarding marker words. I have been curious as to how you initially teach these words. I was happy to see this one available for viewing. However, regarding words like 'Sit", how do you start training them to understand what you want?
Idk if you still want to know this, but you can lure them using food, just hold it above their nose and move back over their head until their butt touches the floor, I'd practice luring without using the word until they can do it pretty consistently or you think they understand the concept, then lure and say the word, you can gradually reduce the lure and then the motion - most dogs get sit pretty easily. Or you can catch sitting on their own and rewarding them then and they'll naturally offer the behaviour after a while.
Random question but how do you keep your doodles eyes so clean? I have a black shih poo and I’m wiping her eyes multiple times a day and sometimes that’s still not enough. She’s been to the vet recently so I know it’s not due to illness… her eyes just get so gross, help!
You said that you would discuss how you teach “free,” but I didn’t see that. Is there another video somewhere that discusses this? Also- can you please go in greater detail about “not repeating,” commands. I know that generally commands should only be said once. But during the training process- teaching such things as “stay,”- but they get up quickly and follow. How do you prevent repeating the command but still communicating yo the dog that you expect him to stay, without saying “stay?”
Is that a Lifestyle Pet Cot Elevated Bed?
Hi Rachel I am sorry that I am just getting around to listening to this particular video I am totally blind and I am trying to teach my dog to place command and you were saying that it’s important to reward them even if just one of their paws is on the bed I was wondering as a blind person how would be my best way to go about that hope to hear from you and like I said I’m sorry I’m just getting this video
Hi Rachel my name is Anaisha and you give a big help. make your wishes come true and dreams are big and your puppies are so cute also I have small dog and his name is fantasy he is 1 ......I am a child
My puppy almost 7 week can I do this
How do u introduce a baby to your puppy
I know every dog is different, but realistically how long would you say a dog could learn this command. I have a 5 month old doodle and we are teaching him “place”. He’s getting better, but definitely not picking it up as quickly as all of his other commands (stay, sit, paw, lay, etc).
My question is how do they get the food out of them little tight containers because it looks very frustrating to me they struggled to get the food out.
I have a 13 week labradoodle that was not socialized. We are working in human touch and company. I would like to start basic commands- she doesn’t know her name, or make eye contact- any advise? Anything will b helpful
How can you do this outside? I’d love to do this when he’s outside and behaving badly
How do you teach them the cues "place" and "free" ???
I didn't get my puppy until she was a year old and now she's almost two. Is it too late to start using this with her?
Hello!! How do I teach my dog their name without overusing it?? Thank you!
Silly question! My pup just turned 7 months can he easily learn this then early on at 9 weeks ? He’s very obedient he’s been in training since nine weeks so I’m not nervous I’m teaching him please but I’m very interested and eager to learn and teach my pup . I know it won’t happen over night . I’m sure the answer is yes lol GREAT video btw !!! You’re amazing for providing such amazing information!! Thank you !!
I’m curious too as I have a 6mo old puppy…
If I tell my dog place i reward and tell him break to release him. If he goes on to place by his own choice does he then get off by his own choice. If that makes sense lol if I tell him place he must wait for my release. If he chooses place then no release needed? Ty ❤
I started training my 9 week puppy and she seemed to catch on very quickly, but the issue I ran into is that what I was using as "place "was getting chewed up, so I would just rush to take it away from her, because I don't want her to continue practicing that behavior. It was hard to take it away because she was also staying successfully in place. Any recs?
I have the same black and white place mat from Target that you have but the problem I have is that my puppy just chews and shakes it from side to side. 🤦♀️ He won’t sit or lay on it. Just plays with it. I even tried a towel but he does the same thing with a towel. He can’t have a dog bed either bc he just chews on it constantly and won’t lay down and relax on it. I hope he grows out of it. He’s almost 6 months.
You cant just wait for a dog to stop chewing. He wont grow out of it. He thinks its a toy.
Hi Rachel! I was wondering what the folding pet cot is called that you have? It doesn't seem to be in your links? Thanks so much!
Yes same! I’d love the link to it
Possibly a Lifestyle Pet Cot Elevated Bed. Waiting for confirmation from OP.
Does the place command apply to the area, or the mat? If I move the mat to another part of the room, will my dog go to that new place? Or does it require retraining?
I'm pretty sure it's the mat he/she will follow. But to be sure try putting it on different places and placing the cue after the relocation. My dog got it after a few tries bit everydog is different.
i have a kelpie x broder collie puppy that i got 2 days ago, she is 10 weeks old and she has come from a big farm. she loves eating all the plant in the backyard when she goes out for potty and playtime. How do i get her to stop biting plants??
Mine too. Izzy eats plants too. Also digs and eats dirt. Chews on sticks, leaves, whatever.
Yeah I had I have a deaf Dog
How can i stop my dog from being afriad of going outside at night . We have a light outside but as soon as he hears ruffling from the wind or a neighbord dog he will stop peeing or loose focus
A problem we are having that I have not seen addressed... AND WE NEED HELP! My daughter has a Golden Doodle, 6 mos. old and coming along well with all the training she is doing. We all love this pooch but he is a handfull. My daughter does all the training and we are just "grandma & grandpa" to him. Problem: we have a 6 year old cat and, of course the dog loves to chase the cat. We decided to let the two of them work out their own relationship and see how it would go. The cat is not afraid of the dog and even is a little interested in a bit of a chase. It seemed to be going ok for a while. But now the dog who is a standard and growing bigger all the time is getting very enthusiastic about the chase. Cat usually finds a table for cover, etc. but at times cat is caught off guard and dog gets cat cornered with no cover. Cat never even hisses or gives a swipe with a clawed paw and dog gets right in the face of cat and we call off the dog and cat leaves. This, of course, all happens extremely fast and is over almost before it starts. However, as the dog gets bigger and now sometimes uses a paw/leg to come down on the cornered cat who does not retaliate... well, we think we need to do some training about how much rush the dog is allowed to do to the cat. But we don't know just how to do this other than that the dog must be leashed in the house all the time... which we do not want to do. Can you help us figure this out?
I ha ve a 2 yr old that hasn’t been adequately socialized and therefore occasionally lets out a bark for no obvious reason. … or a kid could bump the wall, ll etc. How do i teach not to bark at random houehold noises? 8:58
What if he gets on it with out me saying place?
Where are “the link below?”?
I use UP and my puppy will get on anything I point to
It is hard to train or condition my puppy because she doesn't motive by treat. She doesn't like to take walk only sitting in front of the yard and watch and bark at people and dogs. Meal time is a stressful time for me because she is a picky eater. Help!
Still never said how you start to say command place
