Week 5: Wait

Wait – adding distance, don’t forget ‘ok go’ release cue

  • Wait, lean away with your body weight shifting back – return to your dog and reward
  • Wait, move one foot behind you so not actually moving away from your dog – return and reward
  • Wait, take one step back, then step back towards your dog again – reward
  • Wait while you do a full turn on the spot – reward
  • Wait, take 2 steps away and then step back to your dog – reward
  • Finish all waits with ‘ok go’ release cue – roll treat away. Try to get several rewards to your dog before releasing them.
  • Put really easy ‘waits’ in amongst the more tricky ones
