A clear, elevated boundary. A reliable training tool. A place your dog learns to settle. The DogBone Place Training Cot is designed to help you teach and reinforce the “place” command, then transition into your dog’s everyday spot to relax and stay calm. Built with an elevated, chew-resistant PVC frame and extremely durable fabric, this cot stands up to real training and real dogs.

What Is Place Training?

Place training teaches your dog to go to a specific location and remain there calmly until released. It’s one of the most valuable skills you can teach — helping with steadiness, impulse control, focus, and overall obedience. This skill creates a dog that is a joy around the house, and anywhere you go! The DogBone Place Training Cot gives your dog a clear, defined elevated boundary that makes learning “place” easier and more consistent.

Designed for Training First — Then Everyday Use

This cot starts as a structured training tool and naturally becomes your dog’s everyday “spot.” Once your dog understands place, the cot provides a familiar, comfortable location where they can settle indoors or outdoors. That consistency helps reinforce good behavior long after formal training sessions are over. Bring the cot with you to family Christmas, friends house, the cabin, or anywhere else and have a reliable dog that stays on that place and out of trouble.
