Sophie and the Stay cue

Sophie and the Stay cue
The Stay cue teaches and reinforces for Sophie to hold the last behavior asked.
I use a Circle Pattern game Five Fuzzy Tails to teach and Reinforce the Circle Pattern.
I start with a semi circle first in teaching the expansion to a full circle. Starting with just a short duration of five second and close distance, then increasing distance but keeping a short duration of five seconds. We train by using real life situations. Sophie is not allowed down the basement so in real life training I practice using the fuzzy Tail Game to reinforce the stay cue and hold Sophie in the down stay at the top of the stairs.
