Once your dog has mastered this inside, it is time to take our mat to different locations!

(If you have so far used a mat/bed that’s not easy to take along to your outings, you can spend a session or two introducing your “travel mat”.
This is easily done by putting your new mat onto the old, doing a couple repetitions and then removing the old bed underneath 🙂 )
