Keep doing it until they put two and two together and of course treat them during the training session. Our trainer taught us to do this as well as to go thru 'doorways' and practice this exercise.

Coby does great with "wait" at the door (we do it at the baby gates even) and "staying" with a hand signal until released. And when walking, he'll drop his butt to the ground on a "sit" command. But I must need to work on the outside running on leash stops. I can't imagine him running outside stopping on command. We work hard, but that would be sooo cool!!!
