subject: Step By Step... How To Get Puppy To Stay! [print this page] If you really want to know how to get puppy to stay all I personally do is say the stay command and gradually back up and then I would give my dog a treat for staying there. All I would do after that is repeat, but for no longer then five minutes at a time.
I hope that helps you out some in learning how to get puppy to stay. They say if your learning how to get puppy to stay that you should also consider teaching the dog to sit and stay at the same time.
Now, in order for you to learn how to get puppy to stay and actually learn how to do it fast, then teach the dog to sit first. Before you learn how to get puppy to stay start to teach him to sit by holding a yummy treat over his head. This will allow him to naturally sit and then all you should do is just praise him for the good job with the treat and repeat.
Doing it this way makes things a whole lot more simple. If you want my opinion, I would try practicing for only five minutes a day because you become a lot more successful in learning how to get puppy to stay if you do not over train the dog.
The dog should pick up the command faster if you just keep things fun and positive. He will not be interested in learning if he thinks people are yelling at him. Dogs only know what you teach them.
I came across this free dog training lesson, it is a video that maybe of more help to you. So I decided to included it in the link bellow if you want to take a quick peak at it. It has great information and is definitely worth checking out.
