I didn't understand that idea of having the dog stay when you called her to come, either. What is the point of that?

Edited to add: you posted and I posted at the same time. OK, I get the "bomb proofing" your dog, so maybe it would be effective to teach your dog to "stay" even if someone ELSE calls, but I'm still confused why you would want to teach your dog, ever, to not come when you call "come."

I am also interested in training for competition obedience some day and that exercise sounds confusing to me.

'course could be that I am not as smart as a poodle.... ;-)
