When you first start to lure your dog into a stand, they might refuse to leave their sit position, especially if you’ve heavily rewarded sit in the past. Don’t start adding distance until your dog can hold their stand for at least 30 seconds and you’ve introduced distractions like tossing a ball or jogging on the spot. Start with very short intervals, only a second or two, and eliminate any distractions. Whether you lure or capture the stand, after your dog understands the position and its cue, you’re ready to add stay to your training. At that point you can add a hand signal and verbal cue to the behavior. After you’ve captured enough stands, your dog will start offering them to you in hopes of earning a reward. Watch for moments when your dog stands up and be ready to mark and offer a treat. That means clicking, marking, or praising your dog when they do a behavior on their own, then delivering a reward. You can also teach your dog to stand by capturing the behavior.
