Hi!
I use a metod like this:
Put a string around the dogs waist. The string will come out between the dogs hind legs and is conected to a long line. Use a helper who walks behind the dog and holds the line when you do the heel. When you say STAND, the helper keeps the line tight, and because the string comes out between the hind legs the dog cant sit. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I tried Sch3FH2's weiner trick last night for Shi*'s and giggles, and it worked like a charm, my pup had never done that command B4 and it took all of 4 min to stay still locked in position, even took a couple of steps in front and back, he stayed... we then rejoyced with liver and partied it up.... so....
K, that worked!

The trainer I'm working with for AKC Obedience gave me a really nifty way (at least I think) to teach the stand: Loop the leash under the dog's belly and attach to the collar. If the dog starts sitting some upward pressure on the stomach will stop it. It's working real well for my guy.
I have a question. I have never participated in Schutzhund but have been to one competetion. It confuses me as to why some people give a sit/stay, down/stay command. I only say sit and down. If he gets up he gets a correction and is put back into a sit or down, whichever one he was in. I have always considered a sit/stay and a down/stay a double command. Am I wrong for thinking this? When I tell my dogs down they know to stay until I say "break".
Schutzhund folks DON'T give a sit/stay command; they only are allowed to give a single command: sit, platz, or steh. The AKC folks are the ones who use a stay command to mean 'hold that position', which I agree is totally unnecessary. The Schutzhund (German) command "steh" is pronounced like the English word stay, but it doesn't mean the same thing. Steh is the German command for "stand".
