I prefer to train my dogs to be active rather that reactive. Therefore, I don't command "wait", the open door is the distraction and the dog looks and waits for the release.
Actually I don't have to use the word "wait" anymore, but that is how his training started. In reality it was a "sit" command before going through and coming back through any open door or gate. Then we shortened it to "wait", either standing or sitting. Now he just he just has to stand and look at me before I give the "OK". The main point being he's not allowed through an open door without my permission. Once in a while I'll throw in a sit, just for "old times sake".
Thanks for all the good advice. I was the one that screwed up.He wont walk out of the gate when he is on leash going for a walk until he is released. But I left gate open and ran across the street and left him loose.Jerry
