Once your dog has mastered the Sit and Down commands, you can already start teaching him to Stay. Whether he stays seated or lies down and stays that way, the goal is the same: To keep still until you give a release signal! To start, follow the steps below.
TIP: Keep in mind that you’ll need to keep your training session short, just about five to 10 minutes a day so your furry pal won’t get frustrated. And don’t forget to keep a positive attitude throughout.
DOG TRICKS LESSON #3: STAY
Difficulty level: Easy
Prerequisite commands: Sit or Down
Items needed: Clicker, Awesome Pawsome™ treats
- Ask your dog to sit or lay down. Use the clicker and reward him with an Awesome Pawsome™ all-natural pet treat.
- With an open palm facing your dog, say ‘Stay’ and take a few steps backwards.
- After about five seconds, release him from his position by using your clicker and saying ‘Okay’. If the session is successful, give him another Awesome Pawsome™ treat. If he moves before you give the release signal, repeat Step 1.
- Repeat the entire process a few more times while increasing the duration before giving him the release signal. Make sure you reward him for every successful try!
