Place mat command

I was wondering if you guys have taught your dos the Place Mat command? if so, how to you get your dog to stay on the mat? I've got Sobaka so that I say place, and she will go to the mat, and she gets a treat. Then what I did was made her wait longer for the treat. This did not work, she keeps getting off. Any ideas? We've been working on this for about 2-3 months...

Thanks,
Corteo

We're currently working on it. I started by teaching it basically like a stay: Just he and I in the kitchen by the mat. I then started introducing smaller distractions (me fixing toast or something), then working up to tougher distractions. Make sure you're using a release word, too, so that she won't stop the behavior until she hears it.
