LESSON NOTES STAND/STAY COMMAND ** NOTE: Before teaching

LESSON NOTES STAND/STAY COMMAND ** NOTE: Before teaching stand/stay your dog should have a complete understanding of sit/stay. * Begin with your dog in a sit/stay on your left side facing in the same direction you are. * Using your right hand reach across your body grasping the leash about 6” from your dog collar. * Step back and place your left hand (palm toward yourself) on the deep inside of your right thigh. * Then as you give the command “stand” pull forward with your right hand while using your left hand to lift the dogs hind quarter into the air. * Once your dog reaches the standing position give the command to “stay”, then step in front of your dog. * Keep in mind, most dogs will attempt to sit. If this should happen, move quickly, stepping forward with your left leg (putting your hand back inside your thigh), then lightly snap the leash toward you as you lift your dogs hind quarters into the the stand position, and say “NO !!” (correction tone) then say “stand”. (light command tone). * Continue to follow the above steps for seven full days before expecting the dog to stand on his own. * Consult your training instructor for the next steps.

Summer Concerts in the Parks

The New York Philharmonic “Concert in the Park” series was again performing in The Bronx’s Van Cortlandt Park after a three year hiatus last night. New Yorkers as well as local politicians-Senator Adriano Espaillat-came out with his family to listen to a program of Wagner, Tchaikovsky and Brahms under the baton of conductor Andrey Boreyko and solo violinist James Ehnes.

Blankets were laid out on the grass as picnickers listened to the two hour performance followed by fireworks.

Group of children were dancing to the music or just played around with each other. The dogs were very content to just chill out and enjoy the relaxing music with their owners.

Welcome back New York Philharmonic to the Bronx!
