IMPULSE CONTROL
EXTRA READING
WAIT
Teaching dogs to "wait" at thresholds is great for impulse control and good manners! Wait can be used for barrier control in many applications:
Entering and exiting doorways
Entering and exiting the crate
Entering or exiting the car
Keeping your dog out of areas such as the kitchen, office, dining room
Control at the door as visitors enter
Control going up and down stairs
LEAVE IT
"Leave it!" is SO much more than simply "don't touch". We want the dog to disengage and actively remove themselves as part of this skill. Leave-it is a great skill to address impulse control, but is also useful for daily situations.
