Alyssa Starts Place Then Send to Place

The place command is great when guests and company comes over.   Or when you want to send your dog away from you to lie down for awhile, as you get something done.   This is also a great command to use with fear aggressive dogs (have a professional trainer show you all you should know before attempting this) so they have a safe place where they will not be disturbed yet still be around guests and company (again supervised and only after consulting a professional trainer experienced with these issues).
