It took awhile to train them. I realized that the best thing to do is find where they like to be and name it. Like my boys would lay in their bed in the kitchen while I was cooking dinner in the kitchen, when I said the word kitchen they seem to understand that as it being their bed in the kitchen, so I repeated it often. After awhile whenever I said 'Kitchen' they would automatically go to their bed in the kitchen and lay in it. So now when we eat dinner I just say 'kitchen' and they go lay down and wait for us to be done. You can't look at them though, as soon as you do they will come running over! haha I have to say kitchen again! BF thinks its soo funny that I say 1 word and they know it. I say 'bed' they go to my room, I say 'kitchen' they go to their bed in the kitchen.
