on 7/9/2008 ITS REALY GREAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE DOGS TRAINING.
THANKS.

on 9/18/2006 Put your dog in a sit position next to you. Pull the leash up gently so there is a little pressure. Hold the pressure and command "stay" and put your hand in front of his nose. Keep the pressure and walk in front of him. Give praise after a couple seconds. Then say "okay" in a happy voice to release him. Gradually increase the time and then the distance. When he knows "stay" in a sit, try it in the lying position and standing. He will know what to do.

on 8/8/2006 Another good technique is have a treat out and lay it on the floor and hold it there for a few seconds. After the few seconds tell the dog to come, then tell him to stay when he's about halfway to the treat, then reward your dog with the treat.

on 2/28/2006 Hold you dogs food and tell them to sit and stay. Back up a few steps and start to lower the food to the floor. If the dog moves, raise the food back up, have them sit and reinforce the stay command. As soon as the food hits the floor release them and let them eat, and praise them while they eat. Gradually lengthen the time between the food hitting the floor and your release. Our dog picked it up in a couple of days, hope it works for you.

on 2/15/2006 Repeating a command sends the message to your dog that the first time you give a command it isn't mandatory, and he can get away with disobeying until the 3rd or 4th time you give the command. Especially with a stay command, you don't want to have to be there telling the dog to stay over and over again. Eventually you want the dog to stay, even when you're in another room.

on 11/22/2005 Repeat the words "stay boy" or "stay girl" and hold out your hand. Walk backwards but keep eye contact with them. Reward them!

on 11/22/2005 Be patient with your dog and train him every day for only a couple of minutes. It's much better than having a 30 minute training session at the end of the week. Remember to have lots of fun. If he's not doing the right thing, don't get frustrated...Just stop for a rest.
