stay @wait

i know the importance of it and all that but its never been something ive stuck with

purelly because my brains to small to remember which is which all the time

i use wait as a you wait there while i do what ever it is im doing i.e. picking up poo – while all dogs are on lead or on contacts etc
and i use stay as a you stay there in what ever position it is ive put you in until i tell you to do otherwise ie on an agility course start line

Fritz is better at wait….  ::)

I am rubbish at the visual..

Bev remind me please  ;D 

is it left hand for wait or right?  and is it the palm facing the dog.. like the old fashioned policeman style?

😮

fritz is super brill at both…prob the best ever young boyo i worked with ….he got the difference so fast when you on hols….

i use right palm close to shoulder for wait at a distance …closer to nose for close work
and left palm out further policeman style for stay

and you know that bit out your back…where that paddle pool thing was? 

he would do a stay there ….by the seats? …and i would go all the way down to where the path ends as in past the door in …right down to the bottom and then return and he wouldnt move an inch…not even with the kids from above chucking stuff

and his wait in the corridors and at the lift is just magic…

:-* go try it…it brill honest….

i have to say – i once put Glen in a wait in the kitchen (cant remember why) left the kitchen went and did a load of things then realised that i hadnt told him finnish – i thought oh ive been ages hes going to have left it by now – went into the kitchen and he was sat in the exact same place i felt ever so guilty i had forgotton about him

I just use wait  :-\  for anything resembling wait a minute , or I am doing something or when I am serving up dinner and he is slobbering wanting me to tell him it is time to eat  ;D

dont ever use stay I dont think and use the policeman hand fing  p:-)

I’ve done the same Wags :-[ put them in position for taking photos then walked off and left them still sitting there till my friend says aren’t you going to release the dogs? ::)
