I use platz during training for down. Which German word should I use at home to lay down by my side?

Full Question:
Hi Cindy,

I train my dog with German commands. I use platz for down in training.

If I am at home and just want to call my dog over to come and lay down by my side, what German words should I use?

It seems platz should only be used in SCH training.

Thanks.
Cindy

You can use whatever words you want, they don’t need to be German. Informal commands can be whatever makes sense to you and your dog.

I tell my dogs to ‘relax’ as their informal lay down command.
