Helping your dog focus and settle is an important skill that leads to better behavior and a calmer home environment. In this video, Lisa, an accredited PetSmart trainer, shares simple steps to teach your dog how to settle on a mat and stay relaxed, even in distracting situations.

You'll learn how to start in a quiet space, use treats to reinforce calm behavior, and gradually increase the amount of time your dog stays settled. Lisa explains how your energy and body language impact your dog’s focus and why consistent practice is key to long-term success. Once your dog begins to settle reliably, you can add a verbal cue like “settle” or “go to mat.”

Whether you are just beginning training or looking to reinforce good behavior, this video offers a practical approach to building focus, calmness, and consistency with your dog.
