The simplest yet very important to command you have to teach your dog is to stay. This keeps your dog at bay while you are out doing a quick chore or something. The stay command is very applicable outdoors. But before you attempt to teach your dog to stay, you have to teach it how to sit and go first. Once you have that done, you can follow the steps below:

1. Make your dog sit or lie down.
This is the initial position of the stay command. Make sure that your dog understands these commands clearly. Otherwise, you can’t teach your dog to stay at all.

2. Tap your dog’s nose and say ‘Stay’.
Your dog has to associate the word ‘stay’ to the act of sitting or lying still. Say ‘stay’ and observe what your pet will do. Attempt to move away, just to know what your dog’s reaction is. Practice this outside. When your dog assumes the right behavior, don’t forget to say ‘Good’.

3. Give the release command or say ‘Go’.
You also have to train your dog to stay up until you want it to go. Don’t stop with stay. You have to complete the training with the release command. Keep some treats because whenever your dog does things correctly, you should reward him accordingly.
