OK, thanks. I tried working with them earlier this afternoon and did a vague sort of wave around knee level for "wait," so guess that's close enough. I think they got the idea. I did a proofing of the "stay" by making them stay in the kitchen while I walked down the hallway. When I got the end of the hall I acted goofy and started singing and jumping. The first time I did this Pippin just tilted his head to look at me like "what ARE you doing??" and Casey got concerned and broke his stay to come toward me.
I put C. back into his stay, did it again, and that time they both stayed. Tried it once more, even goofier and louder. They both looked at me funny but they both stayed until I went back around to their left side.
Mixed it up with some "waits" and "come," and they came first time, every time.
