Training your dog to stay using this method incorporates many wonderful concepts into the training process:
1-By click as distractions happen you are using classical conditioning to change your dog's emotional response to being calm and relaxed around those distractions. Lowering a dogs stress levels when asked to stay, which in turn will make the behavior more reliable. The distractions become conditioned secondary reinforcers.
2- By teaching the release cue first, you are using 'back chaining' by working on the end of the behavior of the stay first. Back chaining creates strong behaviors.
3- You are using the Premack Principle: the higher probability behavior predicts a lower probability behavior. Staying predicts getting up and getting to do what the dog wanted to do. Meaning the behavior will be stronger.
4- By clicking the release as a behavior it becomes a secondary reinforcer. So every time you release your dog from a stay, you are actually rewarding him for staying.

Excellent video indeed. Kikopup imo is one of the best examples of how youtube can be educational as well rather than just entertainment. Keep it going you the best! (really)
Brilliant, you should have your own TV show. Always great information and so clearly put!
Emily you are amazing! This is a FANTASTIC video, so clearly explained and systematic, Your videos are so helpful. I really appreciate all your work. If you are in Europe please come to Granada Spain, I’d love to come to one of your seminars. Thanks for being there!!!!!!
What a great video! You are a wonderful and generous teacher. I am so grateful that you provide your instructional videos for people to learn from and that also show what dogs are capable of learning with reward-based training. Thank you
You make this look so easy!
My dog had troubles in staying and I thought the only drug was time. I waited for a year and now she stays more reliably and I can start more advanced training when I have the will to do so.
This is actually a very smart way to teach stay. I think I’m going to try to retrain my dogs in this method. They have trouble with staying sometimes and I think this method may work. Thanks!
Wanted to say thank you so much for your videos! You have helped us train our new c.lab to sit, stay, down, touch, shake a paw, come and roll over in just 2 weeks. Your videos make is so easy to understand!!
I just wanted to tell you we started one week ago. Dusty didn’t like to lie down more than one second. Whenever I took my hand away he stood up. Now we are training the release cue. Its still a lot of work but hey, he stays in a down for more than 5 seconds. Thank you!
Had our first stay session today (or more of a release session really) using your method. Isa gets a bit scared from sudden movements, but we took it easy and did really soft and slow movements (for distractions) at first which we clicked. I’m already looking forward to our next stay session.
você é demais, muito boa treinadora!!
Your training videos are some of the best I’ve seen. I keep going back to them again and again to keep them fresh in my mind. Thanks for sharing your expertise. You’ve taught me so much and my dogs are benefiting from you. Keep up the good work.
Emily thank you so much for the instructional videos you post! I discovered you when I first got my BC puppy and this summer he turned 4! Your positive, fun approach has continued to be the foundation of our training! Now we are doing Agility, but I always find a direct connection between the basic tools you’re teaching and what I’m working on now. For instance, I plan to use the principles from this Stay lesson to strengthen my dog’s 2-on-2-off position at the bottom of his contacts!
Wonderful video!! I really appreciate how you use a trained dog to show the behaviors you want, and an untrained one to show how it actually works, fails and all. Thank you so much for loving dogs enough to make this available for free. <3
I love this trainer she is so precise and she teaches you steps by steps how you can actually do this..I have a 2month old German shepherd and I was amazed how she learned the sit and down command and less then 30 min..a little more practice and I will have a very good doggie..I recommend you to check her out you won’t be disappointed..
ok
Is he trained yet
She doesn’t teach any caveats or issues you may have. Like others have said, my dog won’t stand. We’re stuck. I am disappointed.
I followed all of Kikopup’s positive reinforcement training with my last puppy and had a confidant, well adjusted, happy and well behaved dog that, for the most part, ran free (because he had learned a bomb-proof recall). I can’t help walking up to a puppy’s new owner and tell them about Kikopup. If but one of these people that I bother will listen and follow this training, it’ll be worth it. Try clicking for eye contact, a very good place to start.
I realized through your trainings, that by training the animals we are training our own nerve system, getting patient, conscious, blissful ❤️🙏🙏
yes it is true
My dog now an 8 month beagle follows sit ,down,stand and also stay command. He also holds on stay with some distractions for at least two minutes but somehow I always felt something was missing.Without doubt I can say this is the best I have seen how to teach sit,down and stay.
Absolutely fascinating! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! I cannot understand whom and why someone does dislike this video.
Absolutely love and follow your Videos. I’m in the process of working towards My CPDT-KA. It’s sooooo refreshing to see A Trainer that knows learning theory, and all the other important aspects of dog training!!! Thank you so much for making this information readily available to the public!!!!!!!!
Awe thanks Dawn! 🙂
Update on Ace – I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued – now its a daily part of our routine – about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!
