Thanks,
Everytime I say SIT, he sits and raises his paw, I than give him a treat.
I tried the STAY command, and I showed him the treat, said "SIT", than I said "STAY" and used a hard gesture as if blocking someone, and I said "STAY" non stop as I moved back about 3 to 4 feet, about 3 out of 10 times he stayed and when I said "COME" and use a hand gesture he came and I gave him a treat. When he moved I just moved him back to the spot and tried the process over.
Should I just make him "STAY" and keep saying it over and over and be right next to him giving him treats, or should I move away further and further and than tell him to come (and if he does give him a treat)?
Also, do you still keep him in a play pan at this age? He usually goes on the pad but occasionally in the kitchen or in the hallway he will urinate.
