At first I started out with a clicker. NOT GOOD. He reacts so excessively to the clicker and starts offering me behaviors so rapidly that I don't have time to click the right one. Not good for a position I want to train to hold!
Then I changed to letting him figure out what I was treating him for. That was better, but not the best.
The next thing was a combination of Kristy's teaching on the start line stay that I used with Canon and the Mary Ellen Barry self control stay. I would be holding a treat on my flat hand and if he moved toward the treat, I would close my hand to show him NO TREAT. He is pretty good with this and I think if can be used to help him learn to stay. That is what I ended up with and got to the point I could stay out two jumps and he would hold it.
