Good work and Pass on both young dogs. Pointers are the same for both dogs
1) On the Stand, ALWAYS start from a Sit and end in a Sit. Never, ever let your dog Sit from a Stand at this point in their training. So, if they move their feet, simply command, "Let's Go" and then move them to an AS. Use the verbal command of "Stand ". You may find it helpful to 'set' the dogs shoulders before you command "Wait ".
2) The stairs? Use "Step-Hup " for up the stairs and "Step-off " for down the stairs. Cease using "Step-Down" as that is totally going to confuse a learning dog.
Onward to ILL. I would like to see posted videos this week of both young dogs doing ILL.
