As Joey P and Ashley V have stated it is very important that they stay while the door is opened or being opened, for their own safety . I have taught my guys to stay back from the door as it is being opened and remain there when it is opened. If they don't, the door is closed and we start over. Zack is the one more likely to be in a hurry and go out before me. Same deal, back and start over. Praise if they do it right, correct immediately if they have done it wrong. They get the message real quick especially if they have to go "potty". Treats help, but we did not go that route. I'm sure others have done it other ways but this has worked for us. Hope this helps. |
