How to Teach Your Dog to STAND on Command. Episode 26
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 17. 02. 2020
- In this video, I will be explaining and demonstrating how to teach your dog to stand on command. This is a slightly more advanced exercise, but with enough practice any dog can do this. This command is also very useful for service dog training as it could be used for counterbalance and counter support.

Another awesome video! One of the things I really appreciate you is that you initially demonstrate with a dog that does not yet know how to perform the behavior. You are REALLY showing people HOW to train the dog. Then, the use of other dogs that are better at it is incredibly helpful to show what it should end up looking like. I can't say this enough - you are amazing and the world is going to have many more great dogs because of your videos!
Thanks Karen! Yeah, I really want people to be able to see the progression. It's been tougher getting more dogs recently due to the pandemic, but expect to see more dogs in my future videos. :)
Thank you so much for switching dogs and showing us different breeds as well as ages. Too many trainers only use one easy dog and donât really show us a practical example. This video has definitely helped me grow as a trainer and I really appreciate it!!
Thank you very much, I've been trying to teach my dog how to stand and I've used many ways but he learned how to stand with this method
Awesome! I'm happy the video helped and thanks for sharing. :)
Again a great video with a great trainer, one of the best I've ever seen, lot's of down to the point advices, amazing materials and excellent results (I get on my dog). I wish I knew this channel earlier, I'd have avoided all the rookie mistakes with my dog (GSP I'm trying to train for over a year now). I have done lot's of trainings with professionals and dog schools (in France & Switzerland) , my own observations, but by far this is the best dog training knowledge concentrated into those excellent videos. You need a bit of experience to connect the dots but when you do there are some revelation moments. Pieces of the puzzle that finally come together. I'm scotched to the channel, good work, please publish more!
Thanks, Jakub. I appreciate the kind words and the support. Cheers! :)
I love the Shepard you can really see him thinking then into the position
I love this video so much. I love how you start with the puppy and then take us through different dogs so we can see the end result. Very nice! I have a 10 week old puppy now that I'm doing these exercises with. How often would you work with a puppy on these "push ups" each day?
Nice videođ
Hi Nate, I love your videos and always share them with people getting a new dog! Iâm having trouble fine-tuning my dogâs stand. He always wants to move forward, even on a climb bed. Itâs not a single movement. Do you have any recommendations on how I can make it more fluid? Do you think I should build a training box?
Thanks! Yes, you can use a shaping box. Check out this video as well, it may help. czcams.com/video/H7r2_IzfcZw/video.html
Hey Nate, I really appreciate your videos. Theyâve been a big help. I didnât notice in the video, but is there a reason you use Post as the command instead of Stand? Thanks again
Thanks Patrick! You can use any word that you like as the command. The main reason why I use the word post instead of stand, is to not confuse the dog with spin and sit. Since they all sound very similar, they can start confusing which one is which. :)
I missed stand off earlier training. so need it for walk backwards and focused heel.
In the French ring videos the trainer really annunciates the similar words in different ways too. Just if that helps anyone :)
Staaannnd, Downnnn, siTu.
I my girlfriends dog was Spanish but she didn't understand me speaking in Spanish. i just said the commands in English and she understood it all as i guess i speak english more clearly.
Yes, The more clear and distinct you can make each commend, the better. :)
This is awesome! Do you call it post because stand sounds too close to sit?
*edit*
I finished watching the video and in the next couple of seconds you answered my question haha
Lol! :)
Is there a list of commands you use or a resource which inspired your command words? I find the "sit (stay)", "free", "post" different from what's commonly taught. I would love to learn a standard set of command words that have been thoughtfully chosen.
Edit: I love your videos by the way! By far the best resource out there
Thanks! Just keep in mind that our words mean what they predict. For example; my dogs, the word "free" predicts release and reward. You can use whatever word or sound you like. :)
@nateSchoemer thanks for the very instructional video. Is there a special reason you use the "post" command as opposed to "stand"? Are you reserving that word for a different action?
Your videos have been a huge help, thank you! Just wondering if there is any other way to access Episode 27, as I don't have a Facebook account.
Thanks! I remade it here. This is basically the same thing, but with the added harness. czcams.com/video/E7ztsl09dOI/video.html :)
@@NateSchoemer Perfect! I've already watched that one, good to know I am not missing anything. Thank you again :)
Can you do a training for balance? I have bad balance and need to train to keep me upright if i start to tilt
Yes, I plan on making an episode on that in the future. Thanks! :)
Hey man, i love your videos, but as i was going through your basic obedience playlist,i noticed there was a private video, i was just curious as to what is was about
Thanks! It's a loose leash walking episode. I replaced it with the new loose leash walking video: czcams.com/video/E7ztsl09dOI/video.html :)
Thanks for the reply man
Might be a silly question but when you're rewarding, are you giving out a single piece of kibble or a bunch, like 3 or 4?
Hi Nate. I am getting a golden retriever and have never trained a dog. Your method is completely different than the one Iâve been watching, Zac George. Are you familiar with his training? If so, without pointing out the deficiencies of those other purely positive methods, how do I make the decision on following your approach over the other? I see that the other methods do not respond to negative behaviors with a ânoâ and they also do not condone pressuring the dog into positions. However, what seems like it takes him months to solidify with his dog takes you only moments.
Hi, Arielle! Here's my thoughts on different training styles.
In regard to the science part, keep in mind that when you are training your dog the science is always the same; what varies between each dog are things like motivation, perseverance, intelligence, temperament, disposition, etc. Being able to adjust for each dogâs specific needs is considered the art of dog training.
Reward-Based Training (pure positive):
This is an ideal training to start your dog on, but can also take the longest. This is when you use rewards to teach all the desired behaviors, and you use negative-punishment when your dog fails to perform the action, so they learn to go into different positions to access rewards.
This training is almost entirely stress free for a dog, and it also makes the training very positive for them. This training uses a combination of positive-reinforcement and negative-punishment.
There are three common ways to use reward-based training (see the terminology chapter for some added examples).
âą Luring: This is when you use food to guide your dog into the desired position, and once your dog is in that position, you would then release the reward to your dog.
âą Fix Shaping: This is when you have a training goal in mind, but you're letting your dog figure out what you want instead of showing your dog.
âą Free Shaping: This is when you don't have a particular training goal in mind, and you are simply watching your dog to see if your dog will perform a behavior that you like.
Pressure-Based Training (Escape)
The next type of training is by using a leash, and involves using pressure-based training (which includes many other diverse methods, as well).
Using leash pressure is great if you want faster results. It uses a combination of negative-reinforcement, negative-punishment, and positive-reinforcement. You turn the pressure on, and when your dog complies you immediately turn the pressure off and reward your dog.
I don't prefer to start this way, but I like to use this methodology a little later in the training for reliability, teaching the stay command, and for teaching how to turn off pressure. However, some people prefer to start with leash pressure training as it will help your dog learn more quickly how to go into desired positions.
Leash Pressure Training Tips
There are a few things to know before jumping into this style of training. One of the first things to consider is how when you use a leash, youâll discover your dog is âresistingâ it. Thatâs because dogs possess whatâs known as classical opposition reflex, if you pull on a leash they resist and go the opposite direction.
However, with leash pressure, our aim is to teach them to go with the direction of the leash. This opens up new training opportunities.
Once the dog goes in the direction of the leash, we can use it to teach positions like sit / down / stand, directing into a heel position, walking forwards, walking backwards, or any other number of behaviors. We also use leash pressure to easily teach our dogs the âStayâ command.
Leash pressure also helps to teach a dog what behaviors are not acceptable without issuing a correction. For example, if a dog likes to jump up on people, you can perform the following exercise (for the purpose of this book we will be using the word âwrongâ. You can use whatever word you choose):
âą Have a friend start petting your dog.
âą When the dog jumps up, have your friend immediately stop petting.
âą Say âWrongâ, and then add the leash pressure, pulling the dog off the friend.
âą Once all four paws have returned to the ground, turn off the leash pressure, then have the friend immediately return to petting.
We can also use this to stop specific behavioral issues such as jumping up on furniture or playing too rough with another dog. We follow the same idea of saying âWrongâ then applying the pressure, and releasing the pressure when the dog does what we wish.
Remember, positive reinforcement is limited by how much the dog wants the reward, but negative reinforcement means the dog is given no choice but to comply (and learn).
Avoidance Training
This is when you correct your dog into the desired positions. This is considered an older style of training and is not as commonly used anymore. The dogs learn very fast, but it creates a bad association to the training.
This training uses a combination of positive-punishment, negative-punishment, and positive-reinforcement. For example, the dog would be given the command âsitâ, then the dog would be corrected into the position with an upward leash pop while simultaneously pushing the dogâs butt down. Because the dog was given the correction, theyâll start automatically sitting because they donât want to experience another correction. In other words, youâre correcting a dog without the dog actually doing something wrong.
Again, this type of training is very old fashioned and likely not a good idea anymore.
Balanced Training
This is the most preferred style of training, and it's what I recommend. The balanced training method uses all four quadrants of operant conditioning: positive-reinforcement, negative-reinforcement, positive-punishment, and negative-punishment. In my professional experience, this style of training creates the happiest dogs with the highest level of reliability.
I hope this helps and thanks for watching and commenting! :)
1.i have 3 month old golden retriever puppy while walking she picks up unwanted things and trys to run what to do?
2.should i walk her on long line or should i teach her leash pressure and walk her on slip lead.
3.when he picks things on walk i try to take that away from her mouth she resist it so much.
4.I also have 2 year female labrador, they both get along nicely with each other,but both plays rough and also my labrador is not trained,should i keep them separately,also not let them play,i fear that she may develop more bonding with her than me, these are my doubts,hope you would help me,sorry for lengthy question.
1. Yes, I would teach leash pressure as well as a drop it command. Often when I'm training a puppy and they pick something up from the ground, I simply pick them up and elevate their back end. This will almost always get the puppy to drop what they have in their mouth.
2. I prefer to use a martingale collar over a slip lead.
3. Pick her up and elevate her back end. This should get her to drop the item that's in her mouth.
4. I always let dogs play together as long as they are not dog aggressive. I've never had it affect the training negatively.
@@NateSchoemer tnks for reply i have been training her when she was 8 weeks, now im try to socialize her
Am sorry for not making sense I mean in the video you put your hand under the dogs belly with my puppyâs I actually have to put my hand around there belly and pull them up and every time I put them up I say stand are they understanding it or every time I say stand are they going to have to wait for me to put my hand under there belly hopefully that makes sense
Just make sure you say the stand command before you dog the physical cue. After enough repetitions, you dog should be able to do it on the command alone. Just keep in mind that the stand command takes most dogs a while to learn. Cheers!
@@NateSchoemer thank you and yes I say stand before they get into the position
Can you keep putting your hand under the dog ok letâs say am teaching them and they canât get up am like sit and then I put my hand under the stomach and I say yes give them the treat and again are they understanding why they are getting the treat when they stand and can I keep putting my hands under there stomach or do I have to change it up
I'm not sure I understand your question, but if you follow the steps in this video, you should be able to teach your dog the stand command. :)
That's doesn't work on my dog ....đđđđ
It may be because you unintentionally skipped a few steps. Check out this video. I think it will help you reach your goals: czcams.com/video/XQRgci18tvY/video.html
Since when does 'post' mean to stand up? I've always thought that just mean a certain spot/location. What confusion.
Haha! You can call a command whatever you like. It doesnât make a difference to the dog as long as youâre consistent. đđ
Lol...for some reason I thought sit and stand was the same thing...
Lol!
