Frank Leon Webboard User Reg: 09-04-2002 Posts: 26 Loc: Offline	I have a black Lab. I have been training with the choker chain, following Ed's video. My dog, Pongo, is catching on quite well. I have taught him to sit and stay quite well, with a little bit of distractions (walking around him, and tugging on the leash). How long should I continue practicing the sit and stay command? When can I move on to the next commands?? I don't want to confuse him with too many commands. I want to train him as much as I can before we get any snow. Please give me as much advice as possible. Thank you all!!

A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down. --Roger Caras
