January 21st, 2006 by admin | Filed under Uncategorized.You will find that the “Wait command will be a
very useful command that you can teach your dog.
If you are planning to work with your pet in a
off-leash capability it will be especially
important. It is a command that is actually a
safety command. You can use the command to keep
him from potential danger and to monitor them.
In times you will be in situations where you will
to have your dog to be waiting for you but he will
not have to be still. You could use the “Stay”
command but it would not be the correct command to
use in this situation. Some times you will be in a
rush to do something or go somewhere. If you use
the “Wait” command you will let him know that he
can have what he wants but not this instant.
A dog lives for what is in the moment and to teach
him how to “Wait” will add a very interesting
dimension to their lives. It is very difficult for
them to understand this concept. On a short term
basis your dog will be able to understand the
command “Wait”. You will find that to teach him
the “Wait” command it will be most effective to
use your tone of voice. Using your tone of voice
in dog training will be one of the most effective
tools that you can use in training your dog. To
properly respond to you your dog will need to
understand your tone of voice.
This is how this training works. You will have to
remember that your dog is a pack animal and you
are his pack leader. He will be looking to you for
approval and direction. When you are working with
your dog and he does something that you respond in
a slightly disapproving voice he will immediately
stop because of your disapproving tone. What ever
the situation may be that you use the “Wait”
command you will want to say it in a firm but not
angry tone. A dog that is properly trained will
stop and look at you and this is when you will
praise him in a pleasant tone while he waits. If
he does not obey immediately you will want to
repeat the command in a firmer tone of voice.
If you use the”Enough” command you will want your
dog to discontinue what he is doing for now but
when you use the “Wait” command you only want him
to quit for the moment. If you want to go away and
and your dog is waiting at the front door to go
with you but it will be a few moments till you are
ready to leave you will want to use the “Wait”
command. He is anticipating leaving with you and
when you are ready you will reward him with your
approval for successfully obeying your command.
When you feed your dog you can use the “Wait”
command. This will let you get out of the way
before he gets to his food bowl. You can have him
wait before you you leave on a walk or go up a
flight of steps or to go through doorways. You
will use the “Ok” command to let him continue his
activity after he has properly executed the “Wait”
command.
