For some dogs, teaching them to ‘wait’ can be really challenging, because they love to move around and explore. Here are some tips that will make this task a bit easier for you and your dog to get it right.
INSTRUCTIONS
- First, ask your dog to ‘SIT’.
- Then say ‘STAY’ with the palm of your hand in front of you.
- Step back and reward them with a treat and praise them if they stay.
- Gradually step further and further away before giving them the treat.
- Always reward your dog for staying put.
- They need to master how to ‘SIT’, before training this command.
