Well I have Charlie "lay down" from "sit". He will do the sit with or without my hand signal and even if I'm not right near him .
For lay down however he is following my hand signal down to the ground. Does this sound normal for just beginning to learn? I have to be leaning over and put my palm face down and practically touch the ground for him to do it. I hope he will eventually learn to lay down without following my hand. But, he does lay down and stays down for a sec and I give him his treat while he's still in position.
Want to practice "shake". Do you just get them in "sit" and say "shake" as you grab their paw then give treat?
Thanx in advance. I'm checking out youtube channel's I was given too. |
