Stop Command - Help! 1 Attachment(s) How do I begin to teach the stop command. Whenever Gizmo has something he isn't supposed to he takes off running around the tables and I can't get him. The other morning he got out and thank goodness he is still afraid of the stairs or it would have taken me EVEN longer to catch him. Here's a pic of him looking at the stairs deciding what he is going to do. And of course, as soon as I went to get him he was off and running! |
I'd get a gate to block the stairs, and use bait and switch method as training may take some time. Bait him with a treat or his fav toy and exchange it for the no-no. Then work on the leave-it command. Do not chase him. |
Oh kjc, if only it was that easy. He will not come to me even with a treat when he knows I want what he has or what him to stop. He's a little booger! |
He will leave it if I tell him before he picks it up. Once he has it in his mouth it's "chase me time or I'm just gonna eat it". |
Here are two I like: |

First break the chase routine, your playing into the dogs natural instinct and its a game to the pup. Train "Leave it" or "Give" on leash and only go off leash after you are 100% comply many, many times. Training can be easy, the trick is start early, be consistent, start with small steps. If you are patient, expect perfection on the first few commands, the rest will be easy. Dogs learn from good training on first few commands how the game is played and will sense what you want them to do on further commands training. Treat and praise, random cutting back on treats. Never call a dog for something unpleasant, say bath time, just pick up the dog when convenient and go to bath. Calling a dog for unpleasant things can make them hesitant to come. This way in case of emergency you know dog will drop everything and immediately |
