Yeah we learned the basic touch also. The touch is good for just getting the dog to come to you should you need to grab their collar or put a leash on them, etc. So theoretically you say Lucky touch, and she'll come over and then you can place a leash or collar on her. Also you can get her away from a distraction like heavy traffic on a street and have them get closer to you, etc.
