This is typically a "no-no" in dog training, so I'm wondering who does it, and with what words/functions?
I've found myself having the same command for many different things, and also numerous commands for the same thing.
Recon knows "back" - sometimes just "back" or sometimes "back up" "go back" "straight back"... all of them he responds to properly in context- backing up on the flat, backside agility jump, or running between my legs and running straight backwards (from me) for a disc. Only recently did I realize that I was using the same base word for all, but I have no had problems with it.
He also knows two "hit it" commands - one was for flyball IIRC, and the other for a chest rebound - again, no issue.
He also knows "through" to be a through the legs to the right, through the legs to the left, or weaving back and forth through them.
What cues do you have like this and how do you use them?
