The Power of the 'Wait' Command in Dog Training

Sarah Hodgson shines a spotlight on one of the most overlooked yet powerful cues in dog training: Wait. Unlike stay, which asks for stillness, wait teaches your dog to pause, a moment of mindfulness before action.

Sarah breaks down why wait is essential for impulse control, leash manners, and everyday harmony. You’ll learn when and how to use it, why it helps dogs develop frustration tolerance, and simple steps to teach it at home. From mealtime to doorways to sidewalk pauses, discover how this small cue can create big changes in your dog’s behavior and your bond.
