I was always taught to use one word commands. So just DOWN. I do think it's a good idea to use words in vogue with your own training community...
Going to add a ditto about wind. I spoke to two ladies with small children walking in the bush to avoid the wind, never thinking of the dangers...
We had an English Springer Spaniel and may yet again. I really like the look of Bernese Mountain Dogs. We looked into them at their club and a...
