My question is when do you add the stay comand to sit/down. My 6mo gsd does very well with sit and down I can give the comand during training and go 10 feet away or wait 20 to 30 sec. then give a marker and he does great he will also wait for a release. So i was wanting to know is it time for stay?

Chris... sounds like you are working on your stay already and doing a good job at it! I'd work on building your time in sit/down and then start to add some distractions.

Agreed, you're already teaching the dog not to break the sit or down and remain in position until released. In the past I always used a stay command, then after reading about it, decided I would try to turn it around and just use the sit or down command and train my dog to remain in those positions until released.
I was concerned it would confuse my dog not to hear "stay" until one day after I gave a sit command, I turned around a minute later to find my dog hadn't broken the sit. He knew what he was doing more than I did. Since then I've only used the stay command when I forget it's not needed and it just slips out
So now, if he breaks the sit or down, I just guide him back to the position.
