As the muddy season arrives, I know a skill that a lot of puppy owners would love to have, is to be able to teach a puppy to stay on its mat when it’s muddy! One of the things that’s so great about this puppy training skill, is knowing how functional it is! Another helpful feature of teaching this kind of stationary command is the wonderful leadership that you can show your dog. Setting them up to be successful, while making them feel rewarded for a job well done!
