I did the same thing as teri88 mentioned above. First I would have Renji sit, then would put the treat right between his two front legs and under his chest. It took a few times before he would actually lay down instead of standing up and backing away to get the treat. However, he eventually figured it out.
I also saw on TV that you can put them into the sit position and then lift up one or both of their front legs and gently press down on the back to get them to lay. I haven't tried it, but it seemed to work.
Good luck with it! |
