This is the introduction to the Recall. To teach the Recall the dog has to know 6 things. How to hold a Sit/Stay, it's name, who you are, how to get to you, and what to do when it gets to you (Sit), and the bridging word "Yes".
This is the first time we will teach a dog to 'string a series of commands' to create a new command. This is the first time, the dog learns that the last command given, in this case Sit/Stay is now superseded with a new command, "Fido, Come, yes, Sit, Good dog". Here's the sequence again:
Fido
Come
Yes
Sit
Good Dog
The dog is learning to listen, to wait for the new command, and to then follow the new command which supersedes the prior command.
