This also worked out doubly well for us, as stay for her also can mean freeze or stop. If she is playful and doesn't want to be picked up (jumping around and dodging you) I say stay and she will stop and stand there 9tail wagging too  ) and then i can pick her up. Or if we are outside peeing and she is done, I say stay and she will not move so I can pick her up and cross the parking lot. |
aww that's so cute!! i wish kiwi would learn faster. how long did it take Uni to do that? maybe cus shes only 3 months so i have to be more patient but everytime i try to do stay with her she just jumps up right after i feed her the reward. i've been trying to give her things and make her wait a few seconds before i let her have it. i hope she will learn soon
