Stop Your Dog From Rushing Through Doors and Gates

In this video, Steve shows how to train your dog to sit and stay calmly at doors and gates instead of rushing through. This skill not only reinforces obedience and patience but also adds an important layer of safety, preventing accidents or escapes. With consistent practice and rewards, your dog will learn to wait for your cue before moving forward.
