For young and very active dogs, teaching them a ‘bed’ cue or command is a great way to divert their extra energy and gives them a brief time-out to help them learn to calm themselves down when they get over-excited.
In this video we show you the the steps for teaching your dog to go to their bed on command. Before teaching this command it's best if your dog already knows a "down" command and will lie down on cue. Learn more about this in our "Teach your dog a down" video: youtu.be/c9wN8p1Huyk
