Settle blanket




Settle blanket
A settle blanket serves as a simple yet effective training tool for dogs, providing them with a designated space to relax and settle down.
Unlike the more rigid "down-stay" command, where the dog is expected to remain completely still until released, the settle blanket offers more flexibility. It signals to the dog that this is their place to remain calm, but they are allowed to adjust their position as long as they stay within the boundaries of the blanket.
The settle blanket can be used in various settings, such as at home, during visits to friends' houses, or in public spaces like cafés.
It helps the dog understand where they are expected to relax, minimizing unwanted behaviours, such as wandering or jumping on guests.
By using a visual cue like a blanket, the dog learns to associate that particular spot with calmness and relaxation.
Training a dog to use a settle blanket involves positive reinforcement, where the dog is rewarded for choosing to stay on the blanket voluntarily.
Over time, this creates a positive association, making the blanket a preferred resting spot.
The settle blanket technique is beneficial not only for the dog’s sense of security but also for the owner’s convenience, providing a manageable way to encourage good behaviour in various environments.
