How to Teach a Shiba Inu the Place Command

Training a Shiba Inu 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 2/5 and an energy level of 3/5, the Shiba Inu responds well to short, consistent, reward-based sessions. Keep the breed's common challenges — recall failure, escaping, resource guarding — in mind as you work through this intermediate skill.
