Just came across this video and noticed your unproductive comments a year later but I still feel the need to say something because maybe I'm just another bitch. I don't see you giving a better way of doing it. Congratulations, you're a dog trainer, this guy is a veterinary animal behaviorist and has probably been studying dog behavior since before you were out of high school. Oh fun fact, this is the guy that FOUNDED the APDT.
@CrueLoaf: My comment was about timing and context. If you reward a distracted or excited state of mind, the dog learns to associate acceptable behaviour with those states of mind. This is why I said it was "Catch 22", because he's rewarding the dog for maintaining the sit-stay, and the dog is very calm, very submissive, so in this case it works, but he's also rewarding distraction if the dog's fixating rather than simply looking around, A subtle distinction if you don't read the dog well.
They call it a choke chain, but it's really a type of slip collar. It's purpose is to divert attention when a dogs mind is in an elevated state of excitement, and should sit loosely on the dog. Used correctly, a correction with a slip collar does not hurt, nor does it choke the dog. The problem is that most people use the collars incorrectly, risking harm to the dog . Like the collar though, navigating the stair provides a distraction to an excited canine mind. Personally, I use both. ;-)

@DoggRazor Although it may not be the most dramatic way of training a dog, he really knows what he's doing.
