In college, I worked as a Handler and Assistant Manager of a training and daycare facility for 3 years where I've handled many working dogs. For the past 2 years I have been training Zoey and Henry and we have made some tremendous progress together.
Come and recall should basically be the same
To me being able to have your dog stay on a place in your home is immensely helpful. A solid down+stay is next for when outside of the house. Recall for important situations like other dogs or traffic or anything that could go wrong.
I also think a simple “spin” command is necessary. Teaches your dog rear end awareness.
My opinions.
