Hi Everyone,

Cooper and I started puppy class last Monday and he is doing great. He sits with no problem, comes when I call and has got the "watch me" command down. But I am having difficulty with "down." In class they told us to push down on the shoulders until the dog is in the down position. Well you all know how it is, I don't want to put too much pressure on his little shoulders. Anyone have a creative way they used to teach their dog the "down" command?

Thanks!
