Both of my dogs know the "wait" command pretty well, especially my 7 month old puppy. I started teaching them wait pretty much as soon as they came home. I use wait for waiting for food, waiting to go out(or in) the door, out or into the car, wait to come out of the kennel, wait to got greet someone new or another dog, wait to take the treat from my hand, etc. I even use wait as a stay command sometimes! I think teaching "wait" to a dog is very useful!

Best channel on canine training. Helped with crate training after the first poop accident that threw away weeks of smooth crate habits.

Although I train my pupper with silent commands at least the ones he knows and that needs reinforcement. Since he gets over excited when hearing Good Boy!
Yes is my only marking for now, keeping him in a successful mindset. I like the Nose Eyes Ears way to communicate with animals.

My 11 week old husky/corso waits in the other room.while I get his food. He waits until I tell him to eat as well I can leave the room with bowl on the floor and he doesnt move until I say so. Your videos on leadership has the be the most helpful video set on youtube ever

[skinnykid]

Both of my pups have known wait since they were about 4mo old. Such a critical skill to learn, if nothing else just working in door manners with the "wait" command will get them to start understanding wait in other places. I think so many people are more prone to "communicate" to their dogs through the leash or just say No and pointing to what they want. If you talk to your dog, they will start to understand what it is you are asking them to do, they are smart little animals.

What do you do for when you leave the house if you let your dog stay outside of a crate? A lot of the time I find telling him to wait while I'm trying to get out the door, but that waters down the "wait" command because he's never released. Same thing if you tried using stay, there's never a release so it loses value of the dog actually staying in the stay till released.

Enjoyed the video as always :)
