I had the same problem with Kaba!!!

I did two things

1)Same as the poster before me, I would try to make a fist and get her to lay down. I gave up for a few weeks all together because it was so aggravating.

2)I hold treats sitting down on the ground with her and wait for her to lay down, and then praise the hell out of her "GOOD LAYDOWN!!" and give treat. After a few sessions of this, she started to catch on what I wanted.

But then...she totally forgot about sitting. We had to re-learn that. And make sure you don't always do sit, laydown, treat...mix it up. or they are training you.


but lay down is as far as we have gotten. what does your book say is the next thing to teach? Stay?
