Training your dog stand on command is very usefull

Training your dog to "stand" on command
is very useful. This basic command is used to tell your dog to stand up on all four paws without moving. It is handy for when you need your dog to stand up to bbe examined or groomed, whether it's by you or someone else. It's a good foundation for advanced obedience training as well. And, if you hope to show your dog, it is essential because many competitions require a dog to stand perfectly still despite distractions. Fortunately, this is a fairly simple command to teach and most dogs pick it rather quickly. Start with your dog in a sitting position and hold a
treat in your closed hand near its nose. Slowly lift
your hand over and slightly behind the dog's head
so the dog looks back and begins to stand on its
hind legs. As soon as your dog stands on its hind
legs, praise the dog and give it the treat.
