How to train a Border Collie to wait? First, use gestures and words to tell the Border Collie at the same time: "Wait", and then leave your dog, not too far away. Then look back at the dog, and if the dog remains still there, walk back and encourage it. If you find that your dog is moving, immediately go back and repeat the training. Then gradually extend the time and distance you leave and practice repeatedly.

You first need to tell the dog: "Wait" with gestures and words at the same time, then leave your dog, not too far away, and then look back to see if the dog can stay still when you leave.

If the dog does not move from its original position, walk back to encourage it, give it some food, stroke its neck and shoulders, and let the dog see your expression of appreciation.

You know, a dog cannot understand you at all, no matter how smart the dog is. If you sometimes think your dog is "empathetic", it's just because it remembers the way you praised it.

On the contrary, if you find that your dog moves after you leave (this phenomenon is very likely to happen), you should immediately go back and repeat the training just now, and use your expression and body language to tell the dog: You Very dissatisfied with its performance just now. If you keep doing this repeatedly, the golden retriever will be able to understand the true meaning of you asking it to "wait".

In the future, you can gradually extend the time and distance you leave, and the dog will gradually get used to waiting for you to come back after finishing your work.
