How to Teach a Akita the Place Command

Training a Akita to master "Sending your dog to a mat or bed and holding a relaxed stay" works best when you account for the breed's temperament. With a trainability of 3/5 and an energy level of 3/5, the Akita responds well to short, consistent, reward-based sessions. Keep the breed's common challenges — dog aggression, guarding, prey drive — in mind as you work through this intermediate skill.
