Important tips to Successful Lessons
HEEL - (Read
this before you do it with your dog)
STAY on SIT - (the Next
Level)
BACKWARD RETURN (The 'COME')
- (the Next Level)
The HEEL, COME, FINISH -
(the Next Level)
- Give the command to SIT
- (While standing to the right of your dog) With your
dog in the SIT position
Wave the palm of your left hand, from outside the
dog's position towards your thigh, passing your palm in front of his face
(- DO NOT TOUCH THE DOG -)
- At the same time saying "Stay" in a very
long, drawn out sound, "Ssstaaay"
Then keeping your left foot in the same position
- swing yourself and your right foot forward in front
of your dog
- stay one second
- then return to your original position (to the side
of your dog)
- Praise him (SOFTLY) immediately, while holding your
dog in this same position.
To release the dog from the STAY position
Say "Ok" in a happy voice.
(Do not let him loosen up from the STAY position until
you tell him "OK"
Practice = try to stay in front of him a few seconds
longer each day.
Then, after a few days, try going a little further
away in front of him
(After a few weeks, he will be able to stay for 5
minutes and you will be able to go out from his sight)
IMPORTANT:
At anytime, if he moves before you give the "OK"
= you must be ready to firmly call out to him "NO, STAY"
If he does not immediately listen you must rush over
to him and begin the exercise over again.
