• As soon as he starts to move, say "Stand" and tell him what a terrific dogo he is. Tell him, "Good boy, stand.", "What a good boy, you can stand!" You'll want to use the word 'stand' many times.
•If your dogo is sitting, you can slide your hand under his belly like above, or you can start by facing your dogo , holding a favorite treat. As you step back, your dogo will most likely stand up to try to reach the treat. As he does, praise him and say, "Good boy, stand".
• You may need to keep your hand under your dogo's belly until he is standing up and steady. He only needs to stay in this position for a couple of seconds. After your dogo understands the 'stand' command, teach him to stay while he is standing:
• Have your dogo stand; make sure he is standing comfortably by checking his legs. Put the palm of your hand in front of his face and say "Stay". Step away using your right foot.
• You should always leave your dogo using your right foot. Take only one or two steps, turn and stand right in front of your dogo.
• You may repeat the word 'stay' a couple of times. Say it in a normal voice. Wait only a few seconds and then return to your dogo's side. • When you finish, say "OK!". Get your dogo to move and give him a big hug and a kiss. Really praise him!
