I'm not a professional trainer. I did show Yorkies for 18 years. I did train the to stand for the judge to go over them .
I would hold my dog by the collar. With left hand then with right hand hold the dog near the rear leg thigh area. Give the command to stand. I did this several time a day. Then while the dog is standing praise and a treat reward. The once the dog got the idea. I would do it in motion. I would also while in motion tell to stand and move and pick rear end of the dog up and drop him this causes the dog to stand.
After a while I could tell my shepherd to stand and he did. No matter if moving or not.If there is a better way please advise. I have seen some use a strap around the lower belly area and use that to pick up dog and drop and that seems to work too.Ray
I copied a technique I saw another trainer use in my Schutzhund club which seems to work well. When heeling, give a quick push down around his shoulder blades. The dog's natural reaction is to resist going down, and it makes them lock up and hold their place. After a few training sessions he got the point without me having to touch him.
This is kind of an old topic but regarding puppies and teaching the stand...
I have read that teaching a puppy the stand before the sit makes it alot easier down the road in training. Are there benefits to this or does it matter at what stage the stand is introduced?
Stephanine, thats an interesting point and I too would like to hear from some of the other professionals on the board what there opinions are on what you commented on.
