"Mother Knows Best" deals with this issues specifically. There is a whole vocabulary that she recommends teaching your dog. She talks in great length about the emergency "down" command to stop your dog in his tracks, which in spme instances can save his life. (ex. if your dog runs into traffic and you say "come" the dog might have to go back into traffic and risk his life further, the "down" command is supposed to stop your dog in his tracks)
Hope this helps!!
