Q: Why is it important to teach your dog this?
A: Safety is most important. In situations where you cannot control the environment around around your dog, it is important to be able to control the dog.
Q: Why do you have the dogs in kennels in the car?
A: The kennels provide a safe place for the dogs to stay, and prevent them from being thrown about the vehicle on sudden stops or danger.
Q: Is obedience necessary for your dog to accomplish this?
A: Dog obedience is vitally important in a dog’s life, and having an understanding of learning makes each task more feasible, and better practice for you.
It’s important for the dog to know how to ’stay’ in this video, even when you walk away. It’s a great time to practice each and every time you get into and
out of the car.
Q: My dog is older and would have a lot of difficulty jumping in and out of a vehicle that is that high. Any tips?
A: With an older dog or a dog that would have difficulty, be certain to assist the dog by lifting him in and out.
Again, it would be helpful to teach him to ’stay’ when you open the door so that he does not just jump out and
hurt himself.
