Question for you guys and gals. Would love to hear your opinion on this vs mine...
Remi is doing great with all of the commands she has been shown so far:
Come
Sit
Kennel
Down
Place
Huntemup
Now this leads me to the question: Do you add stay to your command list?
I am following Tom Dokkens methods and he stresses this is very impt. I am NOT disagreeing with him of course but do I need to teach it? My line of thinking is sit means sit...until I say ok. Typically, I can walk a good distance away from her while just instilling sit command and reinforcing sit when/if needed as a reminder until l I give the come command. It is working for us pretty well.
Am I hurting our training if I skip the stay command? I see lots of programs, lots of different ideas and opinions. Some are similar some are not. That leads me to believe why I feel skipping stay(shes only a little over 3 months so we could add if need be), would not hurt us. What do you think?
