I have a shar pei and i had no problem training him, however with my 2 yorkies i'm having missivie issues with the down and hand command which i have tried everything. Both yorkies love SmokeHouse chicken breast tender treats and i use small pieces to train them, however they just seem not understanding what i'm trying to tell them. I have been very patience with them, asking them to down in the sit position, then gently pull his hands on the ground hold it for 5 secs and repeat the "down" command then give themt the treat. However, it's been 2 months they still have not understand that command. Can some experts here help me out witht he training commands? Thank you very very much if they could learn the down and hand command.
