Your New Puppy: Dog Training and Dog Behavior Lessons to Help You Turn Your New Puppy into a Well-Behaved Dog

YNP #071: Tips for a Stronger Stay


Listen Later

Teaching your dog “Stay” is one of the easier cues to teach your dog…if we do it right.  And of course most of us are doing it wrong. 

Stay can be a useful command (“Stay” so I can take your picture).  It can be used for safety (“Stay” while I clean up this glass that just broke).  I also use it all the time to focus an overstimulated dog.  

With just a few adjustments you can build a foundation to a stronger and longer Stay. 

In this episode I talk about:
  • How to set your dog up for success.
  • What’s wrong with the Stay-Come exercise.
  • How to reset them when they break.
  • Stay is a one syllable word.
  • What makes Stay different from other cues.
  • Press play and enjoy!

    What’s Next?

    Feeling stuck because your puppy just won’t stay put no matter how many times you practice?

    You’re not alone AND you’re not doing anything wrong. 

    You might just need some extra guidance.

    That’s exactly why I created YOUR Perfect Puppy — my digital program that gives you a clear plan to follow and direct support from me every step of the way. ​

    You’ll build the core behaviors that matter most — like stay, attention, and impulse control — using real-life training that actually fits into your day.

    And because puppyhood doesn’t stop after four weeks, you’ll also get ongoing access to Playtime Paws Academy — my membership community with weekly live calls, a private forum, an entire library of enrichment activities, and training refreshers

    Click here to check out YOUR Perfect Puppy.  I’d love to help you get a “stay” you can actually count on.
