use your leash with the commands.
i think you got "sit" already, so here is down and stay!
from sit position, have a treat in your hand and gently guide your dog to down position as you lower your treat and leash together.
when down, say good girl/boy with upbeat tone!
and give treat!
if your dog "plays" along with you and associate the movement with the word "down". Say "down~" and lower the leash and treat.
repeat about 5 times at a time. about 3 times a day.
your dog now knows "down"  here is the trick: make it a game don't make it boring. |
Yep, very important! I find that if Jackson is getting restless or bored, I will stop and we will take a break for a while. Make it fun and always end on a good note!
