Are you squatting or kneeling on the floor when you are training? I've found that if you stand up but bend down a bit and ask for a sit, they won't go into a down bc they would be farther away from the treat, if that makes sense. For example, if I'm in the standing but bent over position, Uni will very rarely go into a down.
