In today’s we’re teaching the under command. Follow the steps below and your pup will be trained in no time!

1️⃣ Start with your dog next to you
2️⃣ Hold a treat and guide them under a chair or table
3️⃣ Reward them once they move underneath
4️⃣ Add the cue “under” as they go into position
5️⃣ Practice having them stay calmly in that spot

This skill helps service dogs settle under tables, desks, or chairs in public places like restaurants or waiting rooms. It keeps them close to their handler while staying out of walkways and minimizing distractions. It also helps dogs stay calm and relaxed in busy environments, which is a key part of public access training. 🐾

We’re on a mission to build more service dog teams every day with our group training classes. These classes guide veterans and first responders through every step of the training process, helping them earn AKC titles, public access skills, and more.
