I use "watch me" all the time! Tia graduates from the puppy class on Saturday. I use watch me to get her attention...especially when I'm about to ask her to do something more challenging...like "Stay" when I step beside her and don't want her to move until I give the release word. It's a good way to know if they are tuned in to pay attention to you so they can obey other commands. Seems to get Tia in the "zone" for practicing our other commands
