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.
