Stand/Stay
- Place the dog in a stand in heel position.
- Return leash to walking positing.
- Place palm of left hand in front of dog’s face and give the command to “stay.”
- Step off with your right foot and walk in a counterclockwise circle around your dog.
- Stop when you return to heel position.
- Praise your dog.
- Complete an “Exercise Finish”
What if my dog sits down, walks away, or spins in a circle with me?
Just as with the manual stand, there is no correction for breaking the Stand position. Replace the dog into a stand as many times as necessary until you can make a complete circle around them. Make sure that there is no pressure on the leash before you leave the dog.
