'Stand' is one of the most important commands for a Corgi in the show ring.
I place a hand under the Corgi belly when I train for stand and then say 'stay' so that he/she is standing still. 'Stay' of course need not be only from a sitting or crouch down position. Then there is 'stand' from movement. It is moving with the Corgi and commanding the dog to 'stand' or 'stop' which is going from moving to a dead halt - and in the show ring, hopefully with legs positioned correctly ie a natural stand with front and back feet parallell in line.
