Teaching your dog to stand still is an advanced behavior for most dogs since it takes a lot of self-control, especially when there are distractions present. However, it can be an extremely handy behavior when you need to wipe your dog’s muddy paws, give him a bath or clip his nails.
Once your dog has learned to hold a reliable sit and down stay, a stand stay should not be very difficult.
