STAND

A)   OBJECTIVE

The dog is to stand in a smart and alert manner on command, with its right shoulder close and parallel to the handler’s left knee or hip

Very useful to prevent the dog from sitting at inopportune moments.

The best position for a quick easy grooming session. Essential for a steady and unproblematic vet’s examination. A requirement for shows and obedience Trials.

B)   COMMAND : STAND

C)   EXERCISE

This exercise should be taught as an integral part of Heel on lead exercise whilst the handler and dog are walking forward.

On the order, STAND YOUR DOGS, the handler has to do 3 things simultaneously’ stop walking, give the command STAND in a drawn out reassuring tone of voice and place the right hand on the dog’s chest to prevent further forward movement. The dog should remain in a comfortable position.

If the dog continually sits or drops, the handler should immediately move forward and repeat the procedure, this time placing the left hand onto the inside of the dog’s right thigh as well as the right hand on the chest. It should not be necessary to keep the left hand on the thigh for long.
