Why Your Dog Won’t Stand Still for Grooming or Vet Visits
Feb 27, 2026
If your dog won’t stand still during handling, it’s rarely resistance.
It’s lack of preparation.
Stand stay is a separate skill that must be layered before handling is added.
Try This Small Shift
Ask for a stand and reinforce three seconds of stillness before touching your dog.
Position first. Handling later.
Without structure, handling becomes stressful.
Train Your Own Dog teaches how to layer position, duration, and gentle handling so real-life care becomes easier.
