Objective 3 — 30-second Stay three feet away

Stop at heel with your dog sitting on your place board. Give your stay signal with your left hand as

you command Stay. Now, drop your hand signal and the slack in the leash. Keep your thumb in the

hand loop so as not to lose control of the leash, and step off with your right foot. Take one step,

turn, and face him. Don’t ask your dog to hold the stay in this new situation any longer than he has

in the past. After 15 seconds return to stand at heel, pause, and then praise

him for the good stay before you heel him off.

If your dog takes the increased distance and the slack leash as an excuse to

move from the spot, correct him. Move in and guide him with the leash to

the place board, tapping as you go. When he is sitting on the board facing

the direction you left him, stop tapping and step back. Pause and have him

do a short stay so you can return and praise him.

Do several of these each day mixed in with your work on the other exercises.

Objective 4 — One-minute Stay

six feet away

From the heel, stop with your dog

on a place board. Give the signal

and command Stay. Drop the

slack in the leash but hold on to

the end of your leash, and step off

on your right foot. Walk out the

full six-foot length of the leash,

and turn and face your dog. Count

off 30 seconds, then return to

stand at heel by your dog’s side.

Pause and then praise him for

holding. After your pause,

command Heel as you step off on

your left foot.

After several 30-second stays at

the new six-foot distance,

gradually increase the length of

time you are leaving your dog on

the stay. Build up to one minute from six feet by the end of the week.

Do some stays near distractions. Work in different areas and near people and

animals to make sure your dog understands that the Stay rules apply in

distracting situations.
