With this video, we are starting our training series
Today we will learn how to Sit and Stay
But please make sure to watch my Rules of training video
If you haven't seen it, then do see that
as it's a very important video because i have covered some basic rules
which will help you in the training process. If you have seen the video, then let's get started
And we have training treats
So the best time for the training is when the puppy just woke up
and if he is hungry as i mentioned in my Rules of training video
These training treats are used for training as it has very less calories
and we will further break these in half so that we can do more training in less calories
It is a Chicken rice formula which Buddy loves a lot
First, we will learn Sit command as its very important and very basic and is very easy
As you can see Buddy is up right now and he is going towards the treat
so the idea of Sit is very simple, you just need to
take the treats over his head
and the moment his hip/butt touches ground, speak Yes
you can also use a clicker and many people use it
I like to use Yes and it's the same thing
and you can see i haven't used the Sit word
we will introduce the word later but will teach him action first
so let me change my position
you can see
he is thinking that he is going as per my plan
then only he is getting the treats
now we will introduce the word
so you should do this regularly and at least 15 mins everyday
he will learn the meaning of the word if you do this 15 mins everyday
Buddy is already trained but this is how you train a puppy to sit
now we will train him to Stay
ok the first funda of Stay is
you should start slowly
your puppy won't learn to Stay instantly and you will have to train for 1 sec then 2 seconds
let's see how we will do this
as you saw I haven't told him to Stay
but what I am teaching him is if you wait for some time then you will get treats
There are 3 things very important in the Stay training
These are called Triple Ds
First we will work on Duration meaning how long can we make him stay
so you saw i am increasing duration little by little
and when he masters it then i will introduce the word
and say Yes to mark it to let him know that this is the expected behavior. You can also use a clicker
oh Buddy performed this one so well that he was looking in my eyes directly and was waiting for my gesture
and yes, gesture is very important too
it will save you from speaking Stay everytime
the pup will relate the gesture too
when he sees the gesture he will understand that this means Stay
see how
because Buddy is already trained he knows this means Stay
so you should use gesture and word both
and your pup will learn it soon. This was duration and now we will
work on Distance
Distance meaning how far can you go and make the puppy Stay
because if you are too far then there is a less chance that your puppy will follow your command
again you should start very gradually
you have to train him gradually
you saw I just went one step back and gave him the treat
so what he learned is my human went little far then he gave me the treats
and this is the expected behavior and i haven't used the Stay word
your puppy will start walking towards you, Buddy is trained
your puppy will start moving towards you
so try to give him treat before he starts walking to you
so that he learns that I get treats when I don't move
and when it starts to happen then we will introduce the Stay word
now we will checkout Distraction
Distraction meaning if there is something in front of the puppy
even if it's his favorite thing like a treat
or a toy
even then he should stay and should not break it
let's see how we will do that
again funda is simple, start from basic
either the treat or a toy, drop it very gently on the ground
so that he is not distracted and if you drop the thing suddenly
he will be distracted for sure, so start gradually
if he is taking correct actions like you saw he didn't move for 2 seconds
then we will treat him, if he moves then we will not treat him
now we will introduce the Stay word
you can do this with a toy, food or a toy
next level of stay training is to mix all 3
meaning you will mix duration, distance and distraction
so this is duration
now it is distance
now it is distraction
you won't get this instantly and will take time to reach at this level
but with practice it will also happen
you can see Buddy is still holding even after so long
I am away from Buddy so it is Distance
he have treat in front of him still not eating it, so it's Distraction
you will get this level one day
with patience and practice you can do this
so this was our Sit and Stay training
and we will have more training videos on this channel
because lot of training and funny videos will be coming
