Donating YT 7000 Club Member | ok its pretty simple i love watching tucker do down he just hits the floor, lol. what workd for me is using a treat have them sit. then show them the treat. slide it on the floor while patting the floor and say down or lie down or what ever. usually the dog will lay down to get the treat. as soon as they lay down, give them lots and lots of praise!! hope this helps, good luck!
