Start with a tasty treat in your hand. Get your dog's attention on the treat, then use the treat to lure his nose where you want. ==To get a dog to stand from a sit== Start with the treat at his nose and slowly draw it forward at nose level. Say, "stand." In order for his nose to follow, he will have to stand up. Put you hand under his tummy and gently scratch while you let him nibble the treat. With your hand in this position it is easy to catch him if he tries to sit, lie down, or walk away. Hold him in the stand position for a couple of seconds, then give a release, such as "that'll do." Don't choose a word like "okay" as your release because you say it often in ordinary conversation and this will confuse your dog. Let him nibble the treat and praise him only while he is in the stand position. If you give reinforcement after he has moved out of the stand position, you will be reinforcing moving out of the stand instead of staying in the stand. ==To get a dog to stand from a down== You can cheat and get him to sit first, or you can get him to go straight from the down to a stand (called a "kick-back" stand). It just takes a little practice finessing the treat. Pull the treat straight forward as his nose follows. When he is rocked forward on his elbows and must either crawl or stand up, start moving your hand slightly up and away at an angle to get him to stand rather than crawl.
