Learning Impulse Control through a Down Stay

I have had so many questions about how to even begin impulse control. Here is a video template of how you can get this started.

The four main impulse control activities I like to teach are:
Sit stay
Down stay
Place stay
Leave it

I typically like to teach it in the order listed above, but in this video I am starting with a down stay.

Once a dog is able to master one of those positions, the other ones will be acquired quite easily.

If you need more examples of what this might look like with other dogs, visit my story highlights labeled “impulse control”.
