| Stand for exam... Since we have instilled the idea that he has to be sitting to get pet by strangers I am having trouble with stand for exam. When the trainer comes over, he'll stand and stay (usally  ) but as soon as she goes to run her hand over him his butt goes down and his tail starts wagging... Ideas on how to correct this?

| My dog had this problem too! During training I was allowed to stand in front of him and hold his ball to keep his attention. If he looked like he might start to sit, I backed up a wee bit, enticing him with the ball. Not too much can distract my dog from a ball. This worked great and we no longer need the ball. You can also use a treat. |

| Have you taught him a stand-stay independent of the exam? If he doesn't know that, I would start there. Teach it just like you would a sit-stay or down-stay, working time, distance, and distraction separately. Then when you add in the exam, stand close to start so you can help him by putting a hand under his belly if he starts to sit.
