An alternative to “wait” is “sit”. We consider sit the same as wait. It is the position pup goes to before either given something fun to do or being released to do what he wants which is inevitably something fun in his  eyes.

We use sit and a release phrase for all manner of situations. Food, doors, crate exit, play etc Pup knows that if he sits something good is about to happen.

You could trying sitting her before releasing her to go on the sofa. If sit and release is used for other situations too it should sink in well.

We use “that’ll do” as our release phrase  with a hand gesture towards what is fun.

👍 good idea! My biggest mistake was using „OK“ -!! Its amazing how often we say it in a conversation, while floppy ears are on the alert just waiting for the magic „release“ signal!!  :doh:

Yeah, I bet.

We were recommended the phrase by a local spaniel guru as it would rarely be used in conversation. We have to be very careful about using “hurry up” in conversation now  :005:

pleased to say that our lovely cocker is making good progress now she will get on the sofa but is lots better at not jumping all over us but she still gets lots of cuddles she has learnt that the whistle means really high value treats chicken and I can get her to sit and put a treat on the floor and get her to wait for me to say ok I was getting worried that I was not going to be good enough for her needs but much better now will keep in touch on here thanks to everyone who replied

That is great news, you both need to learn what makes the other one tick, and things seem to be settling down now.  Ideal and well done.

Great stuff. It’s gentle steps each day. Routine and consistency works well for us. it irons most things over time.

Dogs learn real quick , their choices are often binary. Is what you want me to do more fun that what I want to do. A cocker may say “No!” Though  ;)

That is brilliant, your heart must have been in your mouth when you unclipped the lead, I know I would have been panicking!  They have settled so well together, lovely to hear.
