TRAINING POST
THE STAND
The stand can be relatively easy to teach and it can also be fairly hard to teach, depending on the dog. I have had dogs that catch on in a few seconds, and I have had dogs that took days and days to figure this one out.
The stand is a good behavior for your dog to have. It makes vet and groomer visits go a lot more smoothly.
Cue: "STAND"
Sign: I have no sign for this.
My usual method: I start very close to dog, with treats and clicker. I put the dog in a sit in front of me, and use the treat to lure him to his feet, by placing treat in front of his nose and moving it backwards away from him, this should result in the dog standing to reach the treat. As soon as he starts to get up I click. I repeat the process several times, the I add the cue word, and slowly get rid of the treat.
