“Stay” is one of those cues that may not seem all that important – until you need it. A strong “stay” can keep your dog from bolting outside when the door opens. It can also keep him out of a room you prefer he keep away from, like the bathroom when you need some privacy, or a baby’s room if your little one is having a nap.
Although useful, “stay” can be difficult to teach, but making a game of it and having a pocketful of treats can make training much easier! Canine Behavior Expert Jessica O’Neill shows us how to play “The Invisible Line Game,” which makes teaching “stay” look like a breeze!
