Teaching Odie to Sit, Wait, and Okay
Anyone who has tried to train a dachshund knows the look — the one where they understand exactly what you want and are deciding whether to cooperate. In this video, Odie works through the sit, wait, and okay sequence, and he mostly nails it. Watch the video and see how the training session goes.
In This Video
- The sit command: Odie learns to sit on cue — the foundation for everything else. Dachshunds are food-motivated enough that this one usually comes together quickly once they figure out the deal.
- The wait: This is where it gets interesting. Odie holds position while Howard steps back — a real test of impulse control for a breed that runs on instinct and stubbornness.
- The okay release: The payoff. Odie gets the release word and goes for the reward. Teaching a clear release is what makes the wait command actually mean something.
- What this looks like in practice: Watching a real training session — not a highlight reel — is more useful than most tutorials. You see the repetition, the small corrections, and the moment it clicks.
Do you think Zoey can sit, wait, and come?
