Steps to Teach 'Stay':

Start with Basic Commands: Ensure your dog is comfortable with basic commands like 'sit' before moving on to 'stay'.

Get in Position: Have your dog sit in front of you. Hold a treat close to their nose to keep their focus.

Use a Clear Command: Say 'stay' in a calm, firm voice while holding your hand out in front of them, palm facing them.

Take a Step Back: Slowly take a step back while keeping eye contact. If your dog stays in position, immediately reward them with a treat and praise.

Increase Distance Gradually: Over time, increase the distance and duration. Start with just a few seconds and short distances, then gradually extend as your dog gets better.

Practice Regularly: Consistency is crucial. Practice the 'stay' command in different locations and with various distractions to strengthen the command.

Use Positive Reinforcement: Always reward your dog with treats and praise when they successfully follow the command. Avoid punishment if they fail.

Keep Training Sessions Short: Limit each training session to 5-10 minutes to keep your dog engaged and prevent frustration.

Be Patient and Persistent: Training takes time. Be patient and persistent, and your dog will learn the 'stay' command effectively.

Hydrate Frequently: Ensure your dog has access to fresh, clean water at all times. Dehydration can occur quickly in hot weather.

Avoid Peak Heat: Walk your dog early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid the hottest parts of the day.

Provide Shade: Always make sure your dog has a shaded area to rest in if they’re outside.

Use Sunscreen: Apply pet-safe sunscreen to areas with little fur, such as noses and ears, to prevent sunburn.

Cool Down: Use cooling mats or vests to help regulate your dog’s body temperature.

Never Leave Them in a Car: Even with the windows cracked, temperatures inside a car can rise rapidly and become life-threatening.

Protect Their Paws: Hot pavement can burn your dog’s paws. Walk on grass or use dog booties for protection.

Check for Signs of Overheating: Be aware of symptoms like excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, or vomiting, and seek veterinary help if needed.

Groom Regularly: Regular brushing helps keep your dog’s coat cool and free of mats, which can trap heat.

Play Smart: Opt for early morning or late evening play sessions to avoid the heat, and be mindful of water play to keep them cool.

These tips will help ensure that your dog stays safe and enjoys the summer season comfortably!
