                                                      Awww...isn't she cute!


Stand:     
                   
1.Get your dog to stand up by sitting down and then getting up or anything,but bribing them.


2. Once you get your dog to stand up barely put your hand under them and hold for 3 seconds.  Click and treat when done.  Do this at least 10 times.


3.Take your hand away from under your dog.  Click and treat when your dog sits.  When your dog does it the first few times the dog only needs to get in the position if the dog stays there long enough for you to click and treat do so.  If your dog sits after you click,but not after you treat you still need to treat them.  If you don't the dog will start thinking the clicker's a bad thing.


4.Start giving stand its name.


5.Your dog will eventually learn that stand means to stand.  When your dog does stand to the name stand click and treat.


6.Keep on saying stand and waiting for you dog to stand till your dog is doing it every time right on command.


7.Well done,you have trained your dog to stand.
