Another milestone for Sherlock! Yipee! :D
Sherlock finally learned the commands "sit" and "lie down". Yipeee!
Having difficulties making him "stay". (Sorry for the blur. He's too active to stay still. ) Any ideas?

Aww, well done to you and Sherlock! That's really good! Lovely pics as well! He looks like he's smiling!
For the stay, what methods are you using to train him?
Some dogs have a difficult time keeping still in one place, so it can take a little longer. It helps to build up the stay time gradually by only asking him to stay for a couple of seconds at first and then increasing that time as he becomes more comfortable with it.

Oh, well done! Beautiful pics, he's a real cutie!
As Eleanor says, just take it slowly with the Stay - just a couple of seconds extra each time!

I'm training him using treats method. (Is it a good method?)
Gradually... I'll take note of that. Thanks guys!

Yes, using treats is a good method. Just make sure that when he starts to understand a command, you gradually reduce the treats until he doesn't need them at all.

Yeah, what Caryll said! Sounds like you're doing really well! Sometimes it just takes a little bit longer with some of the bouncier puppies.
