Luis Colon Jr. Webboard User Reg: 03-14-2004 Posts: 23 Loc: Offline	Can the place command be taught for two separate locations, using the same word? For example, in the kitchen, he's placed in a spot where he can see us & be out of the way. I'd like to do the same in the family room. Can I do this & not confuse him or should I use a different word? Maybe a hand signal? Thanks Luis

Not really much different from using the command "crate" or "kennel" to have the dog go to it's specific sleeping spot, just add another command for the new area.

Eventually I use just the word "place" and hand signals. This way i can have the dog go to a "place" at the park even if i don't have their favorite blanket. This helps when you start to make the place smaller also. It starts out big enough to stretch out on and can end the size of a matchbook.

END Do you mean the word "place" (same word) for each place and just pointing at the place you want?
