The Word Of The Week..."Stay"

Okay, so I’ve made a new discovery… Milkbones!  Oh my, let me tell you… those things are super yummy!  I could eat those things all day long!  During training my inmate trainer will ask me to “stay” then he walks away.  At first I didn’t get it.  I mean, he has the treats, so of course I’ll follow him.  He kept taking me back and saying that “stay” word again and giving me a treat.  Now, after a few times I started to understand that he wanted me to hang out in one spot so to make it interesting I put him through the paces a few more times, mostly just to watch him walk back and forth and to squeeze a few more treats from him.  It’s working pretty good I’ve taught him to speak, walk away then return with a treat! I’m pretty good at this training bit!
