Nope not trying to pick a fight
, I just hate it when people don't give dogs enough credit for their intelligence. Alot of people, even some trainers don't think of dogs as being smart or being able to distinguish certain things and it just makes me a bit angry that they are this way. The biggest difference between wait and stay is that for stay it is for a long period of time and can be out of sight, wait is for a short period of time and you are always in sight with your dog. I have always used the command wait when I stack my dogs and the judge would look them over.

I have trained all of my dogs myself and no I don't take them to puppy classes but of course I did teach puppy and adult classes. I loved teaching them but now I am moving on to something different, agility!! I will start training in summer and I am so excited and I am sure my dogs will all love it as well!!
