I have been thinking a lot about a post on an agility discussion group
that concerned a dog breaking his start-line stay. If your dog’s wait/
stay behavior is not 100% accurate outside the agility ring, you cannot expect him to wait in the ring. Does your dog wait in his crate till
he is released or does he jump out the minute the door is opened?
Does your dog bolt out of the gate at the beginning of a walk or does
he wait till you go through and release him? Will he wait in a doorway until you walk through and release him? Will he wait until you
release him to his meal? Will he wait at a curb or anywhere outside
you ask him to wait until you release him? It all starts outside the
ring—you have to make the behavior strong in every-day life by asking him to wait in various settings and rewarding only when he does.
Also make sure you know exactly what you will accept: can he move
his feet in a wait? Can he wiggle or whine or “scootch?” Be sure of
what you want and only reward when you get that behavior. In no
time waiting will be so ingrained that your dog will expect to have to
wait at the start line until released. D
