make sure when you teach stay you don't tell them to stay then "good come!". You must tell them sit, stay (hold your hand in front of you with palm toward them) back away slowly. Start with just a step back. Then WALK BACK TO THEM then reward. Don't say stay then call them to you, they will think that means stay for a bit then come running. Increase your distance from them until they know what stay means. Then when they've got that tell them stay and turn your back to them and then practice that. Soon you will be able to walk far away and they will not move till you come back and release them.
