Down Stay Workshop

Teach Your Dog to Lie Down on Command & Hold It Until Released

Does your dog know how to lie down but struggles to stay put—especially when there’s something more exciting happening? Our Down Stay Workshop is designed to help dogs master this relaxing yet powerful command and maintain it despite movement, sound, or temptation around them.

In this focused, small-group dog training workshop in Johnson City, TN, we will cover:

• Clear communication using release markers

• Building duration and resilience around real-life distractions

• Calmness, impulse control, and settling behaviors

• Adding handler distance while maintaining engagement and clarity

Ideal for puppies, adolescent dogs, and adults who need better self-control or have difficulty staying settled, this workshop builds reliability in situations like:

• Guests entering your home

• Busy environments or veterinary visits

• Mealtime and crate/door routines

• Over-excitement after exercise or greeting your family

While this workshop focuses on the down stay, the techniques taught can be applied to any stationary behavior to strengthen duration, calmness, and reliability.
