Teaching settle through play. Here Cody has settle on on a verbal cue so I am practicing this further.
When playing with your dog it is always good to take quick short breaks and wait until your dog offers you some calm behaviour (at first take even the smallest amount of calm behaviour) then build on it.

Hi
I did teach a settle before this, have been working on it since he was 12 weeks. He offered that lying on hid side behaviour himself, and i have rewarded it, idid not specifically teach him settle means to lie on his side but more that it means chill "physically and mentally".
I will post a video about how I teach this some time.

how did you teach the settle before this or did you just teach it this way by waiting until cody lays down. my do will drop and sit, but i am not sure he will lay down like that with out learning it some how first on cue thanks
