Contacts

I am just interested in what commands people use for the contacts, I was using touch and go but I have heard people use wait and go, check and off, still and move on.
My dog actually worked better when I changed to wait and go on.

We tried to use "touch" but Ami was already familiar with "slow/slow down" and "wait" so it was easier for her to make the transition. Her release is "alright".

Jess uses touch with Connor and then go as a release and it seems to be working.

I use steady for Max which seems to work (well most of the time LOL)

I use 'wait' for them to stop on the contact and 'ok' to release.
