Then I even left the hall for the first time and he stayed in his down command, god I was so proud of him!!Well done We managed four perfect stays in the park yesterday, two for 30 seconds and two for 1 minute and there was other dogs and everything Charlie does have really good food manners and is very greedy so I made sure he could see I had something tasty and kept his attention on it, it worked so well.
