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.
ill try this during her session tomorrow.. i have a feeling she will get bored with it, give up and walk away though

what are you guys using for treats? maybe she needs better "motivation"
