YNP #072: Should You Use a Potty Bell?

Something I get asked often is how I feel about using a potty bell.   Stay can be a useful command (“Stay” so I can take your picture).  It can be used for safety (“Stay” while I clean up this glass that just broke).  I also use it all the time to focus an overstimulated dog.   With just a few adjustments you can build a foundation to a stronger and longer Stay.  In this episode I talk about: How to set your dog up for success. What’s wrong with the Stay-Come exercise. How to reset them when they break. Stay is a one syllable word. What makes Stay different from other cues. Press play and enjoy!
