ok…think i am with you but…so you want dog to stop actually yes?
but you add a down to that stop ? yes?

what if…just what if ok? putting the dog down causes risk?

…if you aint proofed a behaviour then don’t tell me dog is trained…

As I said before….a down *is* a stop.  IF it was going to put a dog at risk, I wouldn’t use it, as simple as that.  I agree, if a behaviour is not proofed, then the dog isn’t properly trained.  That’s where a lot of people fall down in their training….they don’t proof the behaviour’s strong enough.
