I would think "stay" or "wait" would be just fine. They taught us "wait" to mean "stay until I give you the command to come to me." And they taught us "stay" to mean "stay until I come back and get you."

But as classes went on, other instructors said they don't think dogs really understand the distinction between the two commands. Now I just use "stay" for everything.
