Does your dog know Stay? How reliable is it? Let's put Zooka to the test. . .
In this video, we are at the top of our hill. Zooka and Blitzen are off leash. I put Zooka in a stay, but not Blitzen.
When I do Stays with my dogs, I normally put them in a Down/Stay. I find that my current guys hold a stay better in the Down position than in a Sit. So that's typically what we practice.
I put Zooka in a Down/Stay and I start walking away. You can see that I walk around a stand of scrub oak. So, for the most part, I am out of sight. Does Zooka know where I am? Yes. Can he see me? He can probably catch glimpses of me, but you can see from the video, that there is not a clear line of sight from him to me.
You might not notice, but when I am behind the scrub oak, Blitzen actually runs right by Zooka. Zooka never moves.
When I return to Zooka, you might hear Blitzen in the background. He's nearby but not in a stay.
Zooka holds his Stay unti I return, reward him, and RELEASE him with GO.
So, Zooka had to deal with: being outdoors, off leash, me going out of sight AND Blitzen running around.
Good boy, Zooka!
Our goal is to positively impact the lives of as many dogs and their families as we can, in part through our extensive library of video, infographics and text articles. |
