funny you should pick that command. Thats the reason why I signed up for classes..no way could I make Desi go "down", I tried for weeks, to the point that she would run when she saw me coming with the treats and the lease . Its only took 5 minutes in class for her to learn it. From the sitting position, put the treat up to her noise so she can see it and smell it, then bring down towards the floor. As her head is going down then bring it out, still by the floor. It looks like an "L" motion... down and away so that she is forced to crawl towards it.
