In this video you'll see my beginner progression for training a stay with a puppy who has had some stay training, but is new to me and my training room. We start at the beginning so that she can feel successful and confident in this new environment with a new trainer.

Happy Training!

Always the best! Will def apply this to more basic behaviors. Puppy will get it faster and use less treats if I time it better 👏

Do you just continue to move further and further in the same pattern or do you just continue the same distance?

It depends a bit on the dog. I'll do whatever I think the dog will be most successful at first, and then move on to the harder step. So if I know the dog wills struggle with going behind (most do), I'll work distance first. If I think they'll struggle with moving away, I'll stay close and work side to side until I can complete the circle.

Definitely gonna use the term and technique "room service style" in my training! Love that

Do you think I could leverage this to work for when I play with my cat? Specifically I have a toy that shoots Pom Poms that my dog would love to go after and I would love for him to stay on his platform while I engage in this activity with my cat. Obviously, we’d have to work up to something that exciting happening.

Absolutely. Once you have a solid stay on the platform with no distractions you can start by just picking up the pom pom, then placing it on the floor, then tossing it to yourself, etc.

I'm curious to know why you teach "stay". Isn't your criteria for a position like "bed", "sit", "down" to stay there until released? Or do you teach "stay" to add clarity when you want to get up and move after a long period where your dog was lying down at your feet and you want him to stay and not follow you for example?

Exactly! The dog may already be in a position, uncued, which means they would be totally within their right to get on up whenever they wanted and follow you. Example: They may be on the couch hanging out and I need to go to the door to let in a guest. I also think it is helpful sometimes as a reminder when something new is happening.

Well, we need to try to get lobo to the beginning. He mostly does well, this (and squirrels) is his kryptonite. Oh and proud of my boy, he alerted today while running errands. He has some rough edges, this…but he is doing extremely well. Ordered a platform already.

Loved this video. I’d like to see more of Maeve’s face but the black bed made it hard to see her body language or if she changed positions slightly.

Totally. That’s why I got a yellow lab, honestly, so it’s easier to see him when I film. Black dogs are tough to film with.

excellent demo and communicating your steps Thank you

Do you recommend using a "stay" cue, and why? Frolic is hopefully going to be a service dog. I never teach the "stay" cue to my dogs, but interested to hear the rationale! With my sports dogs, any stationary position means they remain in that position until released, or given a different cue.

I do generally teach a stay cue (though I think there's some amount of personal preference here), this is for the scenarios where the service dog is already doing a thing (say, for instance they are choosing to settle in your office nearby but it's not something you've cued), and then someone knocks on the office door. You never asked your dog to down, so it would be a perfectly rational response for them to get up when you get up. Being able to say "stay" and move to answer the door is helpful in these type of scenarios. I think a lot of people also don't proof their position = stay enough and so being able to say "stay" at the end of a meal while you get up is helpful for handler. (the stay being a reminder cue since the dog may have been settling there for an hour)
