He should go under your leg to get the treat. Have your leg low enough so that he has to lay down in order to get through the bridge. If he goes under the bridge but doesn't lay down, you can press down a little bit (not too hard though) with your leg. As soon as he's in the down position, say the command to him (down, lay down, lay, etc.) and give him the treat. |
Thanks for this advice, I have not been able to get Bella to listen to that command no matter what I do
