Bed

Command: “Bed”

Training Steps:

1. Introduce the Bed: Lead your dog to their bed and say “Bed” while pointing to it. Place a treat on the bed to encourage them to step on it.
2. Command to Lay Down: Once your dog is on the bed, use the “Down” command to encourage them to lie down. Reward them with a treat and praise.
3. Add Duration: Start asking your dog to stay in the bed for longer periods before giving the treat.
4. Practice Regularly: Use this command routinely, especially during times when you need your dog to settle down or stay out of the way.

Explanation: Teaching your dog to go to their “Bed” is beneficial for managing their behavior in the home. It provides them with a safe, comfortable place to relax and stay calm.

Use Case: “Bed” is useful during family meals, when guests visit, or when the dog needs to settle down for the night. It gives your dog a clear instruction on where they should be.
