Step 1b) Stay on the Table.  Jan first got Stay on the Table solid with the table at floor level.

"Sort this out on a low table - don't start teaching the dog to stay on a table from an "orthopaedic" height (a height that will break a bone if the dog makes a mistake ) - and don't raise the height until you're sure she's not going to try bailing off."

Step 1a) Get on the Table:  1) Boost.  To get Nad onto the table when at 24" height, Jan asked for Paws Up on the table and then boosted him up.

Lazy Leash: Step 3

Expect the unexpected.  Training the distractions.  Both of these dogs came running across the park to Lily.  Only one hit me.  I don't know which.
