Your dog is in a HURRY … she is just too wiggly and excited. How do you cut through the chaos and teach him to hold his horses before you can proceed!? The solution is to Wait.
The "Wait" cue is a helpful life skill to teach your dog. Wait is a momentary pause, a short period of space to check in and reset. Less formal and much shorter than the “Stay” cue, “Wait” usually lasts just a few moments. Think of “Wait” like a brief “freeze frame” that is useful in many situations—whether you’re opening the door to go outside, letting your dog out of the car, or setting down her food bowl.
This course will help you:
- Understand what the “Wait” skill is.
- Identify times during the day when “Wait” can be useful.
- Expand your dog’s ability to pause and make a conscious decision.
- Link a cue to positive things happening in your dog’s life.
- Mark, reinforce, and release appropriate behavior.
Who should take this course?
Dog lovers and animal care professionals who want a practical tool for reducing chaos by asking for a moment to check in and reset before life moves on again.
