![]() This exercise can be done with you going through the door first, the dog going through first or you both walking through together. ![]() There is no rule that says you have to go through the door before the dog. Ask the dog to ‘wait’ giving you hand signal and close the gate behind you.Once you are at the other side of the gate and the dog is still waiting call the dog to you and place them in another sit at the same side of the gate as you.Open the gate, with the gate open take one step through the gate, if the dog moves towards you place them back at the other side of the gate and place them back into their position.Picture the harmonious dance of understanding as a dog responds to a simple gesture without needing a single spoken word. Walk up to the closed gate with the dog and place the dog in a controlled position and ask for the wait. While verbal commands are crucial, teaching your dog hand signals is a unique and often overlooked method of connecting with our dogs.If the dog is struggling to wait and is continuing to follow you through the gate, place the dog into a sit and give them the wait command hold a treat constantly in front of the dogs nose and take one step back through the gate, once you are through the gate bring your hand into you giving your come command to the dog.Keep repeating the process until the dogs are in a strong wait and do not move until you call them to you. ![]()
