How We Teach Every Single Dog To "Stay"
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is such an important behavior to teach. Not only can it be a safety issue if you can't teach your dog to stay, but it also helps your dog learn to be calmer, more relaxed, accepting, and more focused.
It surprises people that the dogs we train all learn to stay yet we never even say the word 'stay'. This is called the implied stay, and it's beneficial in many ways. Believe it or not, it's actually much easier for your dog to learn as they have to make fewer discriminations.
Remember, your dog doesn't know words. You have to teach them what they mean. So if we are talking about the basic commands, your dog now has to learn 'sit' and 'sit, stay', 'down' and 'down, stay', 'place' and 'place, stay'. That is much more difficult than just learning the three commands and that they always hold their position.
We also tend to create the pattern that they should immediately spring back up after a command for a reward. This is inadvertently cemented over time, only making it harder for them to sometimes 'stay' when you ask them to.
In this episode I talk about how to teach the implied stay and what that precise process is including the use of markers (catch our future episode on the use of markers), the sequence you use when training, and how to keep your dog motivated.
