Stays!

I've discovered my desperate need for a solid stay! I was struggling with Missy on her sit-stays (needed for tables and start-lines), and my training partner asked if she "stayed" at home. I realized though we practice stays at home, we don' t have nearly enough distractions. So I'm doing group stays with the dogs, instead of crating the non-working dogs. It's more difficult, but hopefully with more distraction we'll improve.
Missy's getting much better on her stay for food, but Quinn's begun to lie down instead of holding a sit.
