Your dogs are great! There are two reasons I can't do that with my dogs--their nose does not stick out far enough to put a cookie on, and they would never wait to eat it! My dogs think "stay" means "the gate is open and you need to wait until I close it". At least we have gotten that far. Really, that is all I ever needed it to mean. Once the gate is closed and you open the door you better be ready for two balls of fluff to fly right past you.

Want to come and train my dogs?
