I think the down stay is an excellent idea, most dogs tend to do better with a down stay when there are alot of distractions going on, jmho. It's great that you and Bailey are doing so well in puppy class and advancing so soon!!!  |
You trying to pick a fight?!
Kidding! The instructors I've had have been wrong more than once, so I'll bow to your success. I just know that I taught wait and stay, then tested it. I told him to stay and then gave him the come command. He came. And vice versa. I told him to wait and didn't give him the come command. He stayed. I just don't see the point in the distinction.
