 A good way to train the Stay command?
Luke is now almost 12 months old and I can get him to sit and down with a stay in the following place: In the house he can do it almost 5 to 8 minutes no problems. Out on walks with dogs behind fences he can do it just fine. With People walking past he will hold the stay. In Class with other dog he will hold the stay..
Out side of class he will not stay when other dogs appear and are not block by a fence or out of distance... He obeys sit and down but right back up and lunging with his butt in the air wagging all over the place.
So does anybody have any suggestions on how to make stay fun. Treats do not win him over when he is that excited and walking away just has not made it stick into his brain.
I am happy he is so friendly but I know this is a rude behaviour and I want to nip it in the bud now before he becomes strong enough for me not to contain and keep back. |
