We want the animal to understand that “stay” means [...]<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style" addthis:url='http://www.camanoislandkennels.com/blog/stay-training-300.html' addthis:title='Stay Means Stay' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>]]></description>
