Learning “Stand”

If it's raining or snowing outside, you might want to work on your puppy's "stand" command, rather than "sit."

• Start with your puppy sitting or lying down.
• With a piece of food or toy in your hand, lead your puppy's nose up while repeating the "stand" command.
• When your puppy is on his hind legs, praise him for his obedience and give him his treat.
