THE WAIT
The Wait, there are different waits, one is wait at the door, the other is WAIT FOR IT, waiting for a treat or a toy. The Wait we are focusing on today is WAIT at the door. Nobody likes a dog that will run you over to get out the door. This can be dangerous for the dog, and dangerous for anyone who is coming to the door. Escapees is what I call them. Then there are the dogs that absolutely must be the first one out before everyone, again a dangerous thing, especially if you have a child vying for that same position.
By Training the wait, you fix several problems, the escapees, and the I gotta be first out.
CUE: WAIT
SIGN: I don't have one.
The WAIT is fairly hard to explain, so I am posting links to other sites that explain it way better than I can.
Again WAIT is invaluable, and should be taught to everydog.
