"Dog Obedience Training – Teaching Your Dog to Stay"
Training your dog obedience training command “Stay”, is essential. It is one of the commands that form the basis of dog training. Without knowing this command and the other 5 obedience commands, (“Heel”, “No”, “Sit”, “Down” and “Off”), it will be impossible to move onto other commands, or to correct problem dog behaviors.
The “Stay” Command
Like the sit command, the stay command is a vital building block to other, more advanced pet training. For instance, the stay command is vital to training your dog to come when called, which is in turn vital to off leash training work.
The "stay" command can be made into an extension of the "sit" command. Have your dog sit, and while he is sitting, slowly back away. If the dog begins to follow you, as he probably will at first, come back to the dog and ask him to sit again. Repeat the process until you can reach the end of the leash without your dog getting up from a sitting position.
After the dog is reliably staying where you indicate, you can try dropping the leash and backing further away. It will probably some to train your dog some time to reliably stay where he is put without becoming distracted.
