Like sit, stand is also taught using a treat as a lure.  Once the dog is sitting next to you, put a treat in front of his nose.  As you say ‘stand’, pull the treat straight forward approximately 6 inches.  The dog will stand up to reach the treat.  You do not want your dog to move forward, but to stand in the same location he was previously sitting.  When he is standing, deliver the treat.
