Teaching down
Having trouble or need some tips on teaching down? Here are a few to get you started.
First get your puppy's favorite treat.
Second place the treat in your hand so that your puppy can smell and lick the treat but they can only get to it when you release your hand.
Next place your hand, with the treat, directly between their front feet and underneath their chest.
Wait patiently for the puppy to lure into position.
As soon as their belly touches the floor, realease the treat from your hand.
Do not forget to CELEBRATE!! Use that high pitched excited voice that we all know you have. Tell your puppy what a good job they did.
When your puppy readily gives you a down position 90% of the time you lure in this way. Then and only then, begin using the word DOWN. Only use the word when their belly is on the floor.
Once they have graduated from this begin using the hand motion and word without the treat in your hand. But be sure to treat them when they get it right.
