And for the release word, I like practicing with a ton of words that are not the release word and only rewarding for releasing on the correct word hahah helps teach them that it is a very specific word, not just any word. So I’ll just start saying random words

I used "Okay" for my dog (yes, she got released by mistake sometimes, but it wasn't often enough to be a big deal.)

When I was going to release her, I would say her name, then Okay.

But I didn't want her jumping up when I said her name. So sometimes I would say her name, then when she looked at me I'd say "good dog," and let her keep staying.

I used her name to mean "pay attention to what I'm going to say next" or "hey, I'm talking to you," not as a command all by itself.
