Description

“Stay Down” is a combination of two obedience commands: “Down” (where the dog lies down on its elbows) and “Stay” (where the dog remains in position until released). Together, it instructs the dog to lie down and hold that position calmly until given permission to move. The dog is cued to go into a down position. The handler gives the “stay” cue (with an open palm hand signal). The dog maintains the down position for a set duration or until released with a cue like “Okay” or “Free.”

• In the Home: Prevents jumping on guests, pacing, or begging during meals.

• Public Spaces: Helps the dog stay calm and in place at cafes, parks, or vet offices.

• Training & Control: Builds impulse control, focus, and patience.

• Safety: Prevents the dog from darting into traffic or dangerous areas.

• Grooming & Vet Care: Keeps the dog steady during procedures.

Important To keep your dog down in the beginning put treats right in between the front paws not too far from the mouth to avoid getting up to reach it. Start with 1 or 2 seconds then extend the time.
