Hey bizzy Lizzy, might be no help at all but have you trained a 'watch me' command? For a stand I have always taught Leo to 'stand' with a hand command directing from his nose away from him to lure him up, and then quickly into a 'watch me' with my hand quickly directed to my eyes, then we hold a bit of a staring match before I release and treat. I find that without a watch me, Leo just thought 'right! Stand and run!' however with a stand followed quickly by a watch me, he was distracted and ended up just learning to stand and hold for a short while until released. Hope that makes sense..... Might not! Haha
