Pet Talk Training Course #3 - Down

[borzoimom]

hmmm...gonna have to try this one!! rocky knows down very well, however Duke just stares at me and wags his tail! he only knows sit!

In a dog class- the teacher stands right behind the dog.. Also down is not said when they are down- as you are teaching the movement here.. As the dog starts to move forward and down- that is when you say it- AND JUST ONCE UNTIL they are all the way down- then praise..

OMG!!! Duke Did it!! And he stayed!! I am so Proud of my Boy!!! He did very well, it only took us Two tries!! OMG!!!!


and of course we did sit as well!

See- it works- and putting the cupped hand over their head slightly first will straighten the shoulder.
This method works for the real stubborn ones.. lol. ( I love his ears!!! lol.. give him a kiss from me!)
