How to teach your dog to STAY
Teach your dog to stay, stop, or PLATZ immediately!
Learning your dog to STAY is one of the most basic commands that all dogs should know
STAY is an essential command in any emergency, both for your and your dog’s safety.
To work on your dog’s STAY, pick a time when he’s relaxed and well-exercised.
That applies especially to puppies and bouncy young dogs.
Remember that your dog doesn’t speak our language, so he has to learn to associate specific commands with actions. This takes time. Some dogs may pick up faster than others.
The important part is to persist and remain consistent with your training until your dog gets it.
If you and your dog have fun practicing, your dog will become more confident.
Learning things makes your dog smarter!

Training your dog to STAY.
After you and your dog have mastered the sit and down commands, the logical extension of them is training your dog to STAY.
Training a dog to STAY can be difficult at first. It goes against what your dog is used to (following you around) and their instincts (being close to their pack).
With this in mind, keep the STAY command effortless and build upon your dog’s successes slowly.
Once you have trained your dog to hold a reliable stay in any situation, you will find it handy on many occasions.
