  • 'Settle on a mat' is a detailed step-by-step guide to teaching puppies to be relaxed and settled on a mat. Very useful for travel and visiting friend's houses, as well as in the home (for example during human meal times). Based on an article by Nan Arthur of Whole Dog Training (used with permission), the formal exercise teaches puppies that the mat is the place to be for the magical appearance of treats. There are also descriptions of 'Capturing calm' behaviours on a mat and how settle on a mat may be approached in a puppy school situation. 

Reviews

I recently completed the Puppy School Instructors course and found it to be incredibly informative and enriching. The course offered a strong foundation in both the theory and practical aspects of puppy development and training, focusing on positive reinforcement, early socialisation, body language and setting up puppy classes. I appreciated the clear structure, up-to-date research, and hands-on strategies that I can now confidently apply in real-life settings. Overall, this course has not only expanded my knowledge but also strengthened my confidence in guiding new puppy owners and supporting puppies during their most critical learning periods.  - Victoria P.
