The BEST and FASTEST way to teach STAY

This way of training the stay incorporates many wonderful concepts into the training process:

1-By click as distractions happen you are using classical conditioning to change your dog's emotional response to being calm and relaxed around those distractions. Lowering a dogs stress levels when asked to stay, which in turn will make the behavior more reliable. The distractions become conditioned secondary reinforcers.

2- By teaching the release cue first, you are using 'back chaining' by working on the end of the behavior of the stay first. Back chaining creates strong behaviors.

3- You are using the Premack Principle: the higher probability behavior predicts a lower probability behavior. Staying predicts getting up and getting to do what the dog wanted to do. Meaning the behavior will be stronger.

4- By clicking the release as a behavior it becomes a secondary reinforcer. So every time you release your dog from a stay, you are actually rewarding him for staying. www.dogmantics.com

This is an incredible video. Really really really helpful. Great teaching methods, would love to hear more from you ie on twitter or blog for example.

@lacrymist1976 You can use the dog's daily kibble rations as a base, and mix in a few high-value treats like cheese and hot dogs. Apples and carrots are great low-calorie treats to use. I train a Mastiff, and his "mix" consists of about 1/3 kibble (middle-low value), 1/3 apple (medium value), 1/6 carrots (low value), and 1/6 pepperoni/chicken/cheese/some other high-value thing. In addition, all treats should be about the size of your smallest finger nail, even for these giants! :)

I have a Great Dane puppy and I would like to try this but the problem is all of these treats start to add up. With a Giant breed, the number of calories/protein/fat need to be strictly monitored, else it can cause serious health issues.

[PerfectIyFIawed]

can you train my pup? :P he's so bad, has zero focus. he knows sit, down, paw, roll over, and play dead (BANG!). but he pulls on the leash, jumps up on people, and sometimes chews fingers. those 3 i can't seem to break him of. :/

I think I have poisoned the cue "Sit" and also "Down". Is there any other cue I can use as an alternative?

[MrMexico709]

" down to sit.. half down.... sit full... half up... lure half ...lure full.... stand full.. stand half...... fuck off with this bulshit training.... ....Your working way too much...your a stupid women..
