Stay

In this course, you’ll teach your dog how to stay calmly in one place until released, even when life is happening around them. A solid stay helps your dog develop impulse control, patience, and focus, making everyday situations much easier to manage. Through clear, step-by-step lessons, you’ll learn how to build a stay gradually by increasing duration, distance, and distractions so your dog can succeed at every stage. The course covers how to introduce the stay cue, build reliability, add movement around your dog, and use a clear release cue so your dog understands exactly when they’re free. You’ll also learn how to use stay in real life—like answering the door, eating at a restaurant patio, greeting guests, or managing busy environments. By the end of the course, your dog will be able to relax and remain in position until released, giving you more control and creating a calmer household.
