Before You Begin
Set Up Your Training Space
Find a quiet, low-distraction space for training, a quiet living room or fenced back yard works well
Have a notepad and pencil nearby to write down training details
Place a water bowl nearby for training breaks
If you want video feedback, position the camera so Alyssa can see a wide view of your training space
What You'll Need
Training Tools
Platform
A sturdy platform your dog can step onto with all four paws. Used throughout the course as the target for the Send Away behavior.
Training Mat
Your familiar mat from Mat Work. Used alongside the platform for check-ins and settling.
Poly Spots
Colored athletic floor markers. Can also use colored tape as an alternative.
High Value Training Food
Cubed chicken or string cheese also work well. Cut into pea-sized pieces, avoid shredded, as it creates distractions.
