Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to welcome back to our channel Olga, the extremely enthusiastic dog loving, never listening to me dog owner Olga. Olga, thank you so much for jumping back onto the channel to demonstrate exactly what not to do. I really appreciate it. Oh, no problem Tom, thanks for having me back on. I can't wait to teach everybody what to do right with their dog. Crucial tip number one. So I'm gonna show you how to incrementally get your sit stay to where it needs to be to be successful. I'm Olga and I love dogs. Today, Lakota's never done stay before and I'm gonna show you how to do it. Do this. Good job, good job. Now stay, stay, stay, stay, stay, stay. So don't do that. I like to do is teach the dog the place command first before I do the stay. Tell the dog to place, hot go to your touch, sit good. So if the dog sits or downs, that doesn't matter. Simply tell the dog to stay, use my hand command and make my body a wall. Rock, stay. Now notice that the dog is still on the leash. Just like Olga didn't do, this is the first step before you can let go of the leash. Start with the basics. Start in with a little bit of body movement back and forth. I call it crab stepping back and forth. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. You're gonna take this space from you and the dog. I would recommend at least a four to six foot leash. Nothing less, nothing more. You're gonna side step to the left. Then you can use positive reinforcement. Good stay. To the right, good stay. Then what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go to the dog, reward them and then break. Good. Yeah, growly thingy. Don't worry, I practiced jujitsu with them. Oh, no, no, he got the jackpot. Tip number two. Too many times, dog owners try to introduce really basic stuff in a really high distracted area. Obviously then causes a lot of frustration for you and your dog. It's like wanting to learn how to ride a bike and then entering the Tour de France the very next week. You have to start small in order to be successful. Here's an example from our friend Olga to show you guys what not to do. My dog's never met my boyfriend Jose before. This should be great training. What do you think, Jose? Let me plan a date night. Okay, let's go. You think that this is good training? How about you say hello to my new friend Jose? Dakota, it's just Jose, what are you doing? So what you wanna do is maybe add in a little bit of distraction at a time. Maybe a tennis ball on leash, a toy on leash, food on leash, other dogs on leash and incrementally get better. Don't just dive from zero to 100. It's gonna be very difficult for you to be successful. So some examples of what you guys can start doing to start getting into those heavier distractions is start adding them in simply on the leash. Here we go, baby, let's do this. Woo! If you want other dogs around, keep your dog on a leash from a nice distance to start that process. Get a ball out on leash, throw the ball, good stay, and then release your dog, a toy. Anything that you can slowly start to integrate into your dog to paint them the big picture of what you want. Tip number three is something so many people do, which is recalling your dog after working on the stay. This is a big no-no because you create a lot of anticipatory behavior where the dog is constantly judging where you're at, what you're doing, what your voice says. What I like to tell people is go and reinforce the behavior when they're in that position. When they're in the stay, go and reward them in the stay and break them from there. Don't create that constant, am I coming or am I not? Am I coming in or not? Yeah, did she say it yet? She's about to say it. She's almost there. Did she say it yet? I think she's about to say it. Let's go. This is the exact behavior we're trying to get away from. We're trying to teach the dog we want you to stay there. You can certainly recall your dog from the stay, but it's really crucial to not do it when you're teaching the stay because you'll create that really bad habit of the dog constantly trying to get to you next. Huck, you licked my glasses. Let's do this instead, here we go. Stay, good stay. He'll be back. He always comes back. Don't worry, all we do is just sit here. No, we don't go to him. He comes back to us. Just trust me, just sit here and deal your hand and chill. You're a good hand, Huck. All right, read him in wheat, boys. Hey, Hot Rod, thanks for ruining the video.

Thanks for Olga coming on board and helping us during this skit. Thank you guys so much. I will talk to you next time. Pooks. He thinks I'm a big stuffed animal. What are you doing? It's not yours, stop. Hey, oh, well come on, don't you... Well, it's just, Jose, look, he loves dogs. He watched the dog whisper with me. This training isn't going as I expected. This sucks. What do you think, Jose? Okay. That's what the closet is. Careful with the costume. Need to shift forever, but I never ever stop until they put me in the car for no day off me. Fuck, make a script to arch on a false print. Always read the shit with the cars. Yeah, all the 10 toes down for the dog. You can see the paw print. Searching for the answers in the bottom and the last strip for the handle. To the end of the candle. Do what shit's to myself. Give me fears when I'm looking in the mirror. I'm seeing somebody else, yeah. Me call the sun as I'ma sleep sharp.
