Alyssa is a dog involved in our daycare/train program.
Testing if Alyssa is where I think she is in sits before going onto the stays. The heel (I start that warm up towards the end of the tape) that I do next is also a "semi new" directive to her. Her surgery kept us from doing this too much or off leash last year. It's always a good idea to do a warm up/refresher of previously worked commands before going onto new parts of commands or totally new commands.

So once the warm up is done (although this is the next day, so I do a shorter warm up on just basically making sure the sits remain first command, and done randomly again---meaning not in heel position), then we will go onto a couple steps into the stay command (did the very beginning the day before yesterday). A lot of verbal tips on the different steps of commands, the appropriate rewards for the dog, and the reasons why there are different parts of the sit/stay command. I should have also gone into different places to train, areas, and distractions. Next time...
Finally starting one or two steps into the stay command yesterday.
