that's just for my viewers now let's
meet hazel and Liz hi my name is Liz I
live in New Orleans with my family and I
run my own home staging business
we only got hazel three weeks ago and
she's 11 weeks old we decided to get a
pub because it's the right stage in our
life to dedicate some time to training
her we chose a goldendoodle cuz we've
always wanted a larger breed and they're
so cute I know she's still little but we
wanted to set her up for success so she
can be a well-trained dog one day baby
pack please help me help hazel in order
for me to help Liz with hazel we first
have to teach her how to sit and stay
and how to get her to do it when she's
tempted not to throughout your dog's
training having them sit and stay will
be very important in fact this will
likely be their default behavior when
you suspect that they're about to become
distracted or when they start biting or
jumping on you as puppies often do so
having sit stay pay attention to me will
be very important so that you can
essentially pause your dog in order for
you to determine what to do next this is
also one of your very first
opportunities to truly teach your dog
how to think because you're not gonna
make them do this you're gonna get them
to do it voluntarily remember that using
force during training is unnecessary and
less effective I'm using really tiny
salmon treats today teaching your dog to
sit is as simple as luring them into a
sit just like
well okay that's the opposite of sit
sweetheart you can see her butt starts
to go down yes good job and it's really
natural for puppies to want to use their
paws like she's doing right there but
right now as long as she's in the sit
I'm gonna go ahead and release that
treat at the moment her butt hits the
ground so in the beginning many puppies
are real clumsy and if you move it too
fast they're like hey where'd the
Treecko most puppies are not quite yet
conditioned to follow a lure so it's
really critical to go very slow if
you're new to this you're probably gonna
lure like this way too fast let me
pretend she's not here for a minute
if there was an invisible dog right here
this is how fast the lure would be going
most puppies will catch on to this
really quickly and hazel is no exception
look at that sit that's looking so good
but of course we don't want to have to
lure our dogs into a sit for the rest of
their life so I'm gonna start phasing
out the lure I'm gonna show her the
treat look at that fantastic so she went
right into the sit when she saw the tree
she's starting to get it now that I'm
reasonably confident that she's gonna
sit I'm gonna introduce the word sit to
her in advance so it looks like this sit
yes
nice job so she's learning how to sit
already she's doing great and even a lie
down how about that I'll give you a
treat for that I love it since she keeps
jumping up on the table over here where
I'm hiding my treat so I'm gonna
redirect her bring her over here yes and
I'm gonna ask her to sit so that she's
actually earning the tree rather than
reinforcing her for jumping on the table
I think it's time that we show her what
stay means so I'm gonna do the same
thing that I just did but I'm gonna take
a little bit longer to get the treat to
her this time as if to say hey if you
hold that sit position for just a little
bit longer I'm gonna give you the reward
so sit yes good I'm not even telling her
to stay yet because I want to really
make sure she understands the concept
good job the fact that she went into a
down totally fine right there she's
staying in position I really like it sit
now that's a good-looking stay right
there
now let's introduce the word I feel
reasonably confident she's starting to
get this sit stay yes good job really
good I'm telling her stay as she's doing
it be very methodical when you're
introducing new words or phrases to your
dog stay she's doing so good see right
there now I asked for too much time
there avoid doing that I'll only
gradually increase the amount of time
you ask them to stay don't ask for too
much too well you really come and
beginner mistake okay good job good job
see we're showing her how to sit and
stay and how to do it voluntarily no
leash no collar and no force this is the
difference between making your dog do
something and making them want to do
something and it's always good practice
to let your dog know when this day is
over okay come on let's go good job nice
work and that's what a stage should look
like now most people would stop right
here but we're just getting warmed up if
you're serious about having a
well-trained dog you will need to teach
them how to listen to you when they're
distracted so we're gonna do a puppy
distraction training session in general
puppies are really distracted by things
that move so if I were to drop that
treat for example she's very likely to
get up and go after it so we're gonna
start off really small with this I'm
gonna show her the treat I'm just gonna
move it like that good job but stick
with me here cuz we're gonna make it
much more challenging stay yes good so I
set the treat on the ground for just a
moment and I immediately gave it to her
before she even had a chance to break
this is a good way to show your dog what
you want rather than correcting them for
something you don't want them to do much
more powerful much more effective let's
see if we can raise the bar stay yes
good that was probably twice as long
stay and right there I accidentally
moved the tree and you can see how
responsive she was to a moving tree so
let's see if we can work up to being
able to have a moving treat in front of
her and have her stay don't
underestimate how important it is to get
your dog to stay while something moves
in
front of them movements okay very
distracting the most dogs Oh too far too
far that's okay sometimes you got a try
right yes wonderful get this exercise
solid and all of your future training
will be much easier of course this is a
very basic beginner stay in the
description I'll have a video on how to
