We just can't get Mickey to understand the command "Down" (as in "Lie Down"). We have tried the text book... putting a treat in front of him on the floor and moving it away slowly, but he gets right up and goes for it... He just doesnt get the whole "down" concept! Any suggestions?

Also, how did you teach stay?

So far MIckey knows his name, Sit, Come, Give Paw, Give the other Paw, and Bedtime (go to his home). He'll be 6 months this week.

Common guys, help me out.... the BF said once he learns these 2 commands I can start looking for his little sister!

Thanks!!
