BEFORE ANY I TEACH ANYTHING ELSE I TEACH A STAND STAY FOR THE CONFORMATION RING WHETHER I AM GOING TO SHOW CONFORMATION OR NOT!!!!

THIS IS MISS "KELI" SHE IS ABOUT 8 MONTHS OLD HERE (she will be a year old in may) I TEACH THIS WITH NO LEASH OR COLLAR!!!

MISS "KELI" IS OUT OF A FEILD BRED LINE!!!!!


THIS IS MASTER "KODY" THE SAME PRINCIPAL APPLIES, HE IS 5, AND OUT OF MY BREEDING, MY BLOODLINE FOR OVER 20 YRS...

You're going to HAVE to teach me how to do that. That is incredible! All I can get out of Kael right now when I try to stack him is him lunging for the treat in my hand. :(

Cassidy's version of "stand-stay". She actually was watching a bird on the fence . . . :P but it's still a good pose.

Oh my goodness, Cassidy is so pretty!!!! I havent seen that picture of her yet! I didnt realize she was as dark as she is, gosh what a gorgeous dog!!!!!!!!!!! Gunner would be in love all over again..... :wub: :wub: :wub:

THE EASIEST TIME TO TEACH THIS IS RIGHT NOW, WHEN THEY ARE PUPS!!!

I START WITH A LITTLE BIT OF BAIT IN MY FINGER TIPS, AND PLACE MY FINGERS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR NOSES AND ASK, ""STAND", WHEN THEY STAND I THEN MOVE THE BAIT JUST SO THEY HAVE TO WALK 1 STEP, I DON'T CARE HOW THEY ARE STANDING,, JUST THAT THEY ARE STANDING!!!

NEVER BAIT WITH THEM HAVING TO LOOK UP TO YOU, THAT CREATES EITHER FOR THEM TO SIT OR TO JUMP ON YOU!!

WHEN WORKING WITH THE BAIT AND THEY ARE GETTING GOOD AT STANDING, THEN MOVE THE BAIT AROUND EVER SO LITTLE AS SO TO HAVE YOUR PUP FOCUS ON THE BAIT AND THEN THAT HELPS TO HAVING THEM ADJUST THEMSELVES INTO A NICE "STACK" SUCH AS YOU SEE IN MY PICS ABOVE.

ALSO IN MY ABOVE PICS YOU SEE NO HUMAN FOOT PRINTS AROUND MY DOGS, THAT IS FROST ON THE DECK AND I DID NOT HAND STACK EITHER OF THEM. I JUST "ASKED" FOR THEM TO, ""STAND PRETTY-STAY"!

THEN IN TIME YOU CAN INCORPORATE, THE "STAND-STAY" WHICH IS NEEDED TO BE TAUGHT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SHOW ANY AKC OBEDIENCE!!

FOR OBEDIENCE SHOWING THERE IS NO BAIT ALLOWED IN THE RING SO TEACHING THEM WITH YOUR VOICE IS THE IMPORTANT KEY, ONCE THEY ARE LISTENING TO YOU THEN THE BAIT GOES ""BYE-BYE"

WHEN TEACHING FOR CONFORMATION RING THEN IT IS UP TO YOU WHETHER YOU WANT TO BAIT IN THE RING OR NOT!!

IF YOU HAVE THEIR FOCUS AND THEY ARE TAUGHT RIGHT, THEN NO BAIT IS NEEDED FOR ANY RING SHOWING!!

ALL OF THIS CAN BE TAUGHT WITH NO LEASH OR COLLAR,, THEY ARE FOCUSED ON THE BAIT AND LISTENING FOR YOU TO "ASK" THEM OF WHAT YOU WHAT OF THEM!!!

IN TIME YOU NEED TO WEAN THEM OFF OF THE BAIT AND JUST HAVE THEM FOCUSED ON YOU AND YOUR VOICE!!!

IT IS VERY EASY TO TEACH,,,,,,,,,HAVE FUN!!!

Stand stay has to be my favourite!
I will take a picture of bonnie's stand stay some time soon and post.
It is a good way to teach the dog to also stand for brushing and to stand back and really have a good side view of the dog. I use it alot and definately recomend it to teach to your dog, you should be learning it in obedience training , if not i suggest go for it and teach em! :P

My Sunny Rose would kill for Cassidy's tail! :Angelhalo

I kept to what i said and got you a shot of bonnie in her stand stay(just pretend you don't see my shadow!)
, this is why it is also a good thing to be able to stand back and have a good look at the dog :thumbsupsmiley ...
