Explaining GO TO your mat and BE ON your mat. Then adding inches of distance at a time. Molly "loses" the mat at about 1' so Sharon brings it all the way back to the beginning position and re-teaches the behavior.
Rooster gets distracted by smells in the grass so Cathy moves her chair and Rooster's mat away from the distraction and starts back at the beginning.

Take the time now to make a solid investment in this behavior!
Good examples of working this behavior. Did you notice that at about the .46 time mark, Lynn starts reminding Lily to "go lie down" and Sharon is watching listening. The WHOLE time, Molly is sitting calmly on her mat ... great duration!
