Mat training is a super valuable skill for dogs to learn! It involves teaching your dog to go to a mat on cue and then lie down and relax.
Not only is mat training great for teaching hyper, highdrive dogs how to chill out and relax, but it's also handy for when you want to take your dog out in public to places like cafes, breweries, restaurant patios, or sporting events.
In this video, I'll be teaching my own dog Remy the basics of mat training. Give it a try with your own dogs and let us know how you use this skill!
