| Training a 2.5 yr old yorkie, lol Granted the training is really for Gunner but we figured it couldnt hurt for Skittles to learn a thing or two. Not to mention she loves treats! Well for the last 2.5yrs all we ever required of her was to sit and she got a treat, aside from potty trained that was it for her! lol So Gunner is learning the commands sit and down. Well trying to train Skittles down is quite comical! She will sit and then you tell her down and she looks back up at you like WHAT! And her head will go up to me, down at the treat a few times...like ok lady all I had to do was sit for the past 2 yrs and i got a treat now you want me to do what. It is so funny, funnier seeing it than me telling, but I"m sure you ladies get the visual. Hopefully she catch on but if not that is ok to.

| LOL I expect she does think you've lost your mind! Maybe try luring her down with a treat? I wouldn't use the command "down" until she is actually doing the behavior...
