Only 100 seats on the Zoom room – save your seat now.
In this live training, we’ll show you exactly how we teach and proof Place so your dog can chill on their bed—even when:
✅ The doorbell rings 10x in a row
✅ Kids are running around the house
✅ Food is on the counters
✅ Guests are coming in and out all night
No magic. No “good vibes only” nonsense. Just clear training, step-by-step. If your dog loses their mind when people come over…this is for you.
The holidays are supposed to be fun.
Not you, red-faced, wrestling your dog off Aunt Linda while they scream at the front door and try to table-surf the turkey.
Most owners try to work on this…
But they’re missing the one command that actually creates calm:
A rock-solid “Place” command that your dog respects. And this training will show you how to get exactly that.
What You’ll Learn:
🎁 Exactly how to teach a reliable Place command (from scratch).
The step-by-step process we use with every dog that comes through our doors—so they understand where to go and how to stay there.
🎁 How to proof Place under real-life distractions.
Door knocking, people walking in, kids, food, noise…we’ll show you how to gradually layer this in so your dog can handle the chaos of real life, not just a quiet living room.
🎁 How to properly correct a dog who breaks Place (without feeling “mean”).
Timing, technique, leash skills, and how to be fair but firm—so your dog actually takes you seriously and stops blowing off the command.
🎁 How to read your dog’s state of mind.
Over-arousal, anxiety, “velcro dog” nonsense—what it actually looks like, and what to do in the moment so your dog can relax instead of spiraling.
🎁 How to set up your home so your dog can actually succeed.
Where to put the dog bed, what rules matter most, and how to make Place the “chill zone” instead of a suggestion your dog ignores.
You’ll walk away with a clear game plan you can start using the same day to get your dog calmer for the holidays.
WHAT YOU NEED:
- A dog (shocking, I know)
- A prong collar or slip lead
- A leash and your dog’s food
- A dog bed, cot, or mat you don’t mind turning into the “Place spot”
- 60–75 minutes of your time and a willingness to learn
You don’t need any fancy tools. We’ll show you exactly what to do with what you already have.

3.9 million dogs are surrendered to shelters each year due to behavioral issues—we’re on a mission to change that.
Together, we’ve trained and rehabbed over 10,000 dogs world-wide in person and through our virtual courses. We’ve held 300+ dog training seminars globally & have proven methods in place that are helping people train their dogs and keep their pets in their homes.
We believe to our core that every dog deserves a chance-no matter what behaviors they’re struggling with, and that dog training should be common-sense and available to everyone. Which is exactly why we are running this free training!
