Excellent. Thanks very much for this!
This is wonderful!! Well worth watching more than once. My MAS had broken her start line stay and this makes it so clear as to what I was doing...and how to correct it!!
Thank you so much! We would love for you to share it with your friends too

Thanks so much, that was really helpful. My dog had a solid stay, but he has been really affected by a dog running at him barking loudly at the start of a course. We now have a real problem. He edges forward straight away, and seems anxious. I can now only get one step away (whereas before I could go right past the first obstacle) Do I just go back to basics? will this help do you think? thanks so much.
I actually use a wait. Me personally would never release my dogs from a stay. My stay means you are safe, nothing bad is going to happen to you, I will come back to release you (so never say stay at the vet office because they're not always safe - might be a thermometer up their butt, etc). My wait means but wait, there's more. So my stay is you're hanging out here. Wait means I'll release you from a distance. My wait, different hand signal than the stay, foot furthest from the dog when you walk away - extra cue to the dog, you're not following me at the moment. Hope that helps.
Sometimes a raised bed or plank or platform, then once solid there, changing it to a carpet square, then smaller and smaller target until they can do it reliably without any foot target. Hope that helps.
Susan Garrett has a great video of a competition she held at an agility camp where each team had partners. One was team distraction, one was team distance. Team distraction who did many different distractions of the dog holding position in a pause box from a foot or so away. So 20 different ways to try to distract the dog from getting out of position. Team distance sent the dog from various distances. At the end, team distraction won by being able to do what was asked every single time and each dog went farther and faster than team distance - just an FYI. Small to go big!
Apologies for the lateness in our reply, yes go back to basics and build slowly. The key is to get the confidence back in many situations.
