Week 6: Wait – Succeed Together

Exercise

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

Wait while you move side to side – return to your dog and reward
Wait while you march on the spot – return to your dog and reward
Wait while you put your hands in the air – return to your dog and reward
Wait while you do a small jump on the spot – return to your dog and reward
Wait while you do a half a star jump i.e. one arm and one leg on one side of body – return to your dog and reward
Start to use it in real life situations
Finish all waits with ‘ok go’ release cue – roll treat away. Try to get several rewards to your dog before releasing them
Only once your dog is confident with the wait cue, can you start to call them to you out of the wait at a distance
