How on earth am I supposed to teach the stand command and for those of you that have therapy dogs, how stiff was your instructor with this command?
I know it's part of the test, but how strict are the "judges?"
I am trying to teach Kos this command, but I am having a much easier time teaching him to play dead. It seems really simple to make him stand up, but as soon as I say "stay" he looks at me and sits down. I guess I have taught him this with automatic sits and not being petted from strangers or anything unless he was sitting down, but I am having a terrible time trying to teach him how to stand and stay there.
Anybody been through this before? What are your ideas?
Thanks
