Re: A good way to train the Stay command? If he is distracted and lunging at other dogs, then a "stay" command is not good. It just puts him in a vulnerable position and allows him to get more worked up.
Keep him moving, zig zag him around and use the "leave it" command. It's best not to allow him to get to the worked up stage....you must read his body language and distract him with a treat.
What does the obedience instructor say?
