can you manually put him in a down?
or make him sit and then put a treat on the ground in front of him and slowly slide it away. this might make him lay down.
Or wait for him to do it on his own. when he lays down, say "down" and give him a treat. do this a couple times or until you ask him and he actually does it. he'll associate laying down, with the word down and with a treat.
