I'm having the same problem with Smokey... sort of. He's a bigger yorkie (13 lbs) but when I try to get him to lay down he just bends his neck to get the treat and he doesn't exactly... pick up on things very quickly (I'm not being mean I swear!) so I'm having a difficult time as well. I know at the training place we take the dogs to, they say to squat down with one leg extended to your side. Put your dog in front of you and put a treat in your hand, behind your leg and they should lay down under your leg to get the treat. This still doesn't work for Smokey, but it may work for you.
