@baerscanineacademy: Giving your dog a place mat to settle on teaches them exactly where “stay” lives. 🐾 It creates a clear boundary so your dog understands where they’re meant to be—and gives you a reset point if they pop up before you “free” them. Just calmly guide them right back to their mat and try again. This builds: • Impulse control • Clarity • Confidence And turns chaos into calm. ✨
