Donating YT 500 Club Member | Nolee needs to graduate doggie class! Nolee is to graduate from beginners class at Petsmart on Tuesday! He must do 5 commands and loose leash walk 2 times around the circle in class. Tried working with hime today and he refuses to do down;down/stay. It has been raining here for 2 days and not able to do much loose leash training but inside. What to do when they refuse? After a few attempts of down, I gave up. Any suggestions?

| Spike had trouble with down too. I got him in a sit, then I took the treat and held in in front of his nose, and slowly moved it down to his feet and then along the floor. It took a while, but once he got into that position, I would reward him instantly so he knew that was what I wanted. Once he worked out the down position, there were no problems. It was getting him into that position initially that was the hard part. |
