Teach Your Puppy or Dog To Sit and Stay on Command

It is so nice to have a puppy who obeys the "stay" command. It is even nicer when your puppy obeys the "stay" command plus the "release command." A puppy who learns these commands is exhibiting "duration behavior." The goal in teaching your puppy to sit and release the sit upon command is a goal well worth accomplishing. Add distance to your training once the puppy learns the basics of this routine.

1. Teach the release word first. Very important is to choose a word you will use and be consistent using that word. The word can be something like "Okay" or "Free" or even "Up Now." Whatever command word or phrase you choose is fine. The key is to remain consistent. Don't say "Okay" one time and the next time say, "Okay Up Now." Keep your command words and phrases exactly the same every time.
2. Stand with your puppy in a sit or a stand.
3. Toss out a treat on the floor or ground. I recommend using Life's Abundance Tasty Rewards Training Treats.
4. Say your command word or phrase as puppy steps forward to get the treat.
5. Repeat the above a few times until you can say the word first and then toss the treat AFTER he begins to move to teach the puppy that the release command means to "move your feet."
6. When the puppy learns the release command and to sit on command, put puppy in a sit turn and face puppy, then give the treat.
7. Wait a few seconds, and give him another treat for staying in the sit position.
8. Gradually increase the time period you wait between giving treats. You can time yourself with a watch or you can count numbers in your head. Be consistent in the time periods you wait as well.
9. If the puppy gets up before you give the release command, know that this is perfectly fine. It only means he is not ready to sit for the period you specify, so then, you need to go back to a shorter time period in which puppy can obey, and start the gradual waiting times over again.
10. Once your puppy sits for several seconds, start adding distance.
11. Place puppy in a sit and say your command for "staying in the sit," take one step back, then step back to the puppy and give a treat plus your release command.
12. Continue building as you keep it easy enough that your dog can stay successful.
13. Practice the routine both facing him and walking away with your back turned.
14. When your puppy can stay the time you specify, gradually increase the distance. Do the same for the "sit command."
15. Don't expect too much, too soon.
16. Short and successful training sessions yield the best results.
