Endurance Prerequisite:  Basic & Advanced Obedience Punctuate your normal heeling routine by leaving the dog in a sit-stay with you standing six feet directly to the right of your dog, instead of in front of it. You and your dog will be standing side to side, both facing in the same direction. Leave him in this quasi sit-stay position for 2 to 3 minutes. If he should break, correct as if a normal sit-stay and return back to your position for an additional two to three minutes. HE MUST HOLD THIS POSITION PATIENTLY, UNTIL YOU RETURN TO RESUME YOUR HEELING.
