Oh those are good ones too!! Though I usually like using “that’s enough” for if I want them to stop doing something and YES!!! To the rest of it!!! Not sure why people feel like they can boss other’s dogs around!?"At ease" can be a good release word too. My boy uses "that's enough" for his dog. Another thought, I never tell people my dogs' names in public. If you do, the first thing people do is start ordering your dog around. "Buddy, come! Buddy, sit! Here, Buddy!" Makes me nuts. It's like handing them the keys to your car. Why should my dog obey a complete stranger? I make up a new name practically every time we go out. I had one lady tell me, "Your dog doesn't like me. Why doesn't your dog like me? ALL dogs like me!" She was quite upset. I told her my dog was trained not to obey strangers, just like children shouldn't. She just kept asking, "Why doesn't your dog LIKE me?" SMH.
