This video is on the topic of teaching your dog to calmly settle and relax either on a verbal cue or a situational cue, for example if you sit in a chair at a cafe or you stand and talk to your neighbor.



This video explains why teaching the calm settle is beneficial for you and your dog. It is the number one exercise I work on with all my clients.
