Teaching a dog to stand and stay until released is a great way to help teach 
self control and to help them go from one position to another. Here are a few ways to teach stand/stay.
Method 1:
Starting from sit hold your hand, palm up a few inches in front of the dog’s nose with no treat in it. Often this is enough to get a dog to stand to investigate your hand. Say ‘good stand’ put a treat or toy in the hand for them, say ‘good stay’ give the reward and then release. When you are pretty sure your dog will respond to the cue, say ‘stand’, reward, say ‘stay’, reward, then release.
Method 2:
Watch your dog closely, when your dog does the stand behavior on its own say ‘good stand’. If your dog stays in place say ‘good stay’. In this method we are simply giving names to the behaviors our dog can naturally do. We give treats, praise, pets, etc. to encourage our dog. If you can see that your dog is about to stand, you can say ‘stand’ followed by a reward and the same goes for stay.
Method 3:
Some dogs may need a little more help learning to stand. Some dogs will offer sit instead of standing; being as gentle as possible, guide up on the body with the leash wrapped under the belly like a sling. Say ‘stand’ and when your dog does, reward it. Now say ‘stay’ and gently hold your dog in place, when it stays reward and then release. Use less pressure on the leash with each trial.
