How to teach “stay”
- Start in a spot that's familiar to your dog, without anytempting distractions around.

Young puppies have short attention spans but youcan expect them to begin to learn simple obediencecommands such as “sit,” “down,” and“stay,” as young as 7 to 8 weeks of age. Formal dogtraining has traditionally been delayed until 6 months of age.Actually, this juvenile stage is a very poor time tostart.
