How to Train a Dog to Stand Up
Instructions:
1. Stand along side of your dog while she is laying down. Gently slide your hand under her belly until she goes to stand up. As soon as she starts moving, give the command "stand."

2. Praise her with enthusiasm, after she is fully standing, saying "good girl. stand." Repeat this several times until she learns to stand when you say the word without having to put your hand under her.
3. Approach your dog while she is sitting and hold a treat in your hand where she can see it.
4. Take a couple of steps backwards holding the treat at nose level. Your dog should stand up to move towards the treat.
5. Give the command "stand" as soon as the dog starts to get up. After she is completely standing tell her "good girl, stand" and give her the treat.
6. Practice the stand from a sit using the treat several times and then try giving the command without the treat in your hand. Back up when you say the word "stand" and if he stands praise him and pet him.
7. Try saying "stand" without backing up after your dog has mastered the last step.

Tips & Warnings
• It is always best to train your dog in an area that is free from distractions.
• Remain patient when training your dog. If either you or the dog are getting frustrated with the training, take a break and play for awhile, then go back to the training again.


How to Teach a Cat to Stand Up
Instructions
1.Understand a cat's mindset so you can select effective training methods. Cats engage in behaviors that are pleasurable and avoid behaviors that produce unpleasant results.
2. Refrain from punishing or reprimanding your cat while training. He won't associate your discipline with his refusal to stand; instead, he'll learn that interacting with you is an unhappy experience.
3. Use treats in the early phases of training. You can offer diced chicken, commercial cat treats, or whatever gets your cat's attention.
4. Squat a few feet from the cat, holding out the treat, and say, "Up." When the cat rises to receive the treat, move toward her and give her the reward while offering praise.
5. Wait until the cat loses interest and returns to a sitting or reclining position. Move closer to the cat, while offering the treat and repeating the command, "Up." Reward the cat as soon as he rises to his feet.
6. Offer the treat every other time the cat rises to her feet after 3 days of successful training. Then, offer the treat sporadically when she stands. This training method is operant conditioning, and reinforces the learning process.

Tips & Warnings
• Keep training sessions short to prevent frustration on your part and the cat's. Three 5-minute sessions daily is sufficient.
• Initiate training sessions when the cat is calm and alert. Choose a time between meals when the cat is neither satiated nor starving.

texasgirly you are a sweet soul, your vids bring a smile to my face :) thank you

[JGreenlikesbutter]

Her videos prove how wrong all those people are who are saying get rid of pit bulls and there bad dogs.

Any dog can be just as bad.

It's not the dog it's the owner.

[TheDom4224]

Imagine if you stabbed the cat in the head... Oops 😳

[spitfire0202]

I watch your videos all the time! I am so amazed with how you treat your animals! and I am way in love with sharky lol. My mother owns a rescue so I fight to teach people to be like this everyday and when I see someone that is a stand up pet owner I just want to say thanks and kudos to you!!!!!

[freesian5959]

I can see the LOVE you have for your pets. They are both adorable and very smart ! I love your dog with such a sweet personality. I think lots of people are some what afraid of Pitt Bull in general, but I bet they change their mind when they see your video. :)
