teaching the down trick. I need some tips on how to teach the down trick to my dogs. They mastered sit fairly well.. but I'm not doing so good with down. And any tips on how to teach other tricks would be appreciated as well. |
ok its pretty simple i love watching tucker do down he just hits the floor, lol. what workd for me is using a treat have them sit. then show them the treat. slide it on the floor while patting the floor and say down or lie down or what ever. usually the dog will lay down to get the treat. as soon as they lay down, give them lots and lots of praise!! hope this helps, good luck! |
Once you have them sitting take the treat in your hand and put it in between their front legs on the ground and coax them down until they are laying down....GOOD LUCK....let me know if it works |
