Start slow and build up the length of time to stay in place.
I tend to us my dogs large kennel for her go settle place and she will put here self in it when she needs a brake.
There is a device called the manners minder that was created by Sophie yin that can help with the process.
It is a long used way for settling down over active dogs.
The other thing that does well for buy dogs is protocol for relaxation.
Hand in hand with the mat it teaches dogs to stay calm pretty much no matter what.
Also part and pacel of the control unleahed way of doing things.
