Here are the steps for the lie down command: * Using your dog on his leash to your left side, provide him the “Sit” command. Then kneel down and tuck his leash under your knees. Hold your pooch’s collar using your left hand, and hold a food reward in your right palm. * Amongst food reward in your hand, let the dog smell the scent. This'll focus your pooch’s mind in the reward, while your hand under his collar prevents your pooch from moving forwards. * Move your right hand down, then forwards between the dog’s forepaws. As your pooch drops down to keep to the food, provide the command “Down”. * As quickly as your pooch lies down, provide him the food reward. If your pooch’s shoulders rise from the down position prior to you desire them to, run your hand firmly down the leash to the collar. This'll control the upwards movement, and it is certain to also apply a number of mild pressure downwards which will show him he ought to lie down. As your pooch lies back down, repeat the “Down” command again. Keep in mind that your pooch ought to just leave the down position when you've released him from the tra ining session by saying “OK”. If your pooch isn’t that fussed about receiving a food reward, only attempt changing the reward. Maybe use a chew toy that the dog likes, or a favorite toy that he would prefer. Remember: You ought to just ever apply gentle pressure down on your pooch to assist him into the down position if he accepts it. If you've a dominant dog, just use rewards.
