These stickers are available on Amazon and are a must-have for pet owners. I have one on my house, and my parents have them on theirs. I strongly encourage every pet owner to get these and display them. In the event of a fire when you’re not home, these could be lifesaving for your pets. Link below.

Teaching a reliable “down” and “stay” outdoors requires clear communication, consistency, and gradually increasing distractions. Here’s how to train these cues:

Step 1: Start in a Low-Distraction Environment
• Practice “Down”:
1. Use a treat to lure your dog into a down position.
2. Say “Down” as they lie down, then reward immediately.
3. Repeat until they consistently follow the cue without a lure.
• Practice “Stay”:
1. Once your dog is in the down position, say “Stay” with a hand signal (palm facing them).
2. Take one small step back, return quickly, and reward if they remain in position.
3. Gradually increase distance and duration.

Step 2: Move Training Outdoors
1. Begin in a quiet outdoor area (e.g., your backyard).
2. Reinforce the “down” cue first to ensure they respond in a new environment.
3. Practice “stay” by increasing distractions slowly (e.g., mild noises or movement).

Step 3: Increase Distractions Gradually
• Move to more stimulating environments like parks or sidewalks.
• Keep sessions short and positive, using high-value treats or toys to maintain focus.
• Always set your dog up for success—start with small challenges and work up to more significant distractions (e.g., passing people, other dogs).

Step 4: Proof the Behavior
• Change your positioning: Practice with you standing, sitting, or walking away.
• Add varying distractions and reward for maintaining the “stay.”
• Occasionally use a release word like “OK” to signal they can break the stay.

Tips:
• Keep sessions short and fun (5–10 minutes).
• Always reward calm, focused behavior.
• Avoid repeating cues—only say “down” or “stay” once.

Consistency is key, and with time, your dog will master these cues in any outdoor setting!
