Keep working and give him time. Four months old is nothing.

Only start using the stay when the pup is emotionally mature enough to control itself , it's impulse control it's when a dog has to settle itself to get what it wants from the inside out

Whereas if your going to dominate it to get it to stay your creating an issue between the pup and yourself it's control from the outside in only because you want it

To be honest with ya, pups that age are programmed to look for the negetive in every situation try not to have any negetive encounters with the pup , jolly it along all positive once you become the big friendly giant training is a breeze pups are born social you don't need to dominate to get a pup to fall into line

Best of luck
