Day Acadmey student, Winnie the black lab pup, is woking on her recall and polite manners. Winnie already has a great recall, but tends to leap up and collide with her owner when she gets to them. By adding a default Down to the end of her recall, Winnie's tendency to parkour off her owner is removed. In the dog training world, this is known as teaching an Incompatable Alternative Behavior- If Winnie is laying down, she can't jump up!
