Maple has been doing Mat training! That's where she learns the mat is where you go settle. You don't have to lay on it, you can get up and change positions, but you stay on mat until released. (The clicker marks that the task is complete and she can...

Maple had her third session of training with the mat today. Day 1 she figured out she needed to be on the mat and after she was consistently going there, we paired the cue "place". Day 2 continued with the cue and getting her to consistently go to the mat with the handler on all sides. Today we sat further away from the mat and gave the cue, from a distance, and had her stay there for slightly longer durations. She does very well. We'll continue to practice longer durations and cueing from different spots. Once she's super consistent staying there (that should only take a couple more sessions) and is a bit better at keeping all 4 paws on, we'll add some distractions and take the mat outside and practice. Eventually this will be the behavior she will be asked for if she needs wait quietly. We use it at appointments, coffee shops, checkouts etc. We're often asked what the difference is between a place and a down stay is. When we use a down stay, it means the dog stays in the down position and doesn't move, whereas place is more about a zone. The dog can sit, stand, turn around or lay down, as long as they stay on the mat and behave. It's often used in long durations for working dogs so it gives them the opportunity to reposition themselves to be comfortable. Later we'll work on eliminating the mat and being able to stay in the immediate vicinity when she's given the cue. #PuppyTraining Video description for inclusivity: Maple, a young lab puppy goes to a mat on the floor and waits for the click sound. As soon as it's given a treat is tossed away from the mat. She goes to it, eats it, and returns to the mat.

🐾❤️It's Moon's final day with us. Tonight he goes back to the Service Dog program where he'll have many other adventures. Today he's working on staying in place while the human leaves him and goes and opens the door. This will help him learn to be calm and not try to go exploring when a door opens, and that when he's in place, he can move around or change positions, but can't leave the mat. He makes mistakes because he's learning, but with a few more repetitions, he'll understand. We didn't teach him a whole bunch of new skills while he was here, but what we've taught him is his marker sounds (clicks, yes and good) and his release word so he understands when he's done the thing he was supposed to, when he should keep doing it, and when he's free to go. This is the foundation that will make learning other skills easy. We've also helped him learn to settle calmly when asked and play when appropriate, and we've introduced him to lots of sites and sounds. He's a delightful pup. We're taking a short break from puppies to get stuff caught up around the house, get some appointments done and other human business. But I'm sure we'll have more puppy chaos in the near future. And I can always visit Moon and the others when we go to teach classes! #PuppyTraining #FutureScholar Video description for inclusivity: Moon, a lab puppy lays on a mat. His trainer reinforces staying on the mat with the word good and a treat, then leaves him to open a door. She returns and rewards him then goes back towards the door. She corrects him with a gentle "no" then asks him to "place" and he returns to the mat. He stays there at she returns to the door, opens the screen door, closes it and returns to him. He's rewarded once more and stays on the mat. She then gives the release word and tosses a cookie for him to chase.
