in your home.
once your dog is able to remain seated when you tell him to “wait” and step away from him toward the door, it’s time to make the process more challenging. ask him to sit-and-wait, walk to the door and put your hand on the knob, but don’t open the door. if your dog starts to get up take your hand off the knob, go back to him and ask him to sit and wait again. if your dog remains still while your hand is on the knob, open the door a tiny bit, then close it again, go back to your dog and reward him with a treat.
