Repetition is key to teaching your dog to lie down when you say “Down.” This video demonstrates how to deliver the “Down” command and follow up with a treat. With repeated practice, your pet will respond to “Down” – even without reward.
Video Rating: 4 / 5
@kerlyy That’s Why watch the TUTORIAL!
@chadizz how did you do that? my dog can’t even do that… =/
@fistpump95 Make eye contact with your dog first. Attention is VERY important. Let the dog sniff the treat then hold it to eye level then proceed with training.
Wow, I never thought they would be wrong. They have the motions right but not the words. Saying “Down” will only confuse your dog. Say your dog jumps on the bed and you do not want him there and you say “Down” He’s most likely to just lie down. The correct say to teach your dog to lie down. Is by saying “Lie down” rather than down so your dog is not confused.
ive gotten my dog to sit but when i get him to lie down he never wants to put his ass down.
this is amazing. so simple. i’m getting a puppy tomorrow and i have a question. she’s 5 weeks old, i can’t give her treats (i don’t know if there’s treats for such young puppies). so what do i do? because i would like to start training her now, not wait until she can eat those. should i try with just petting her?
My dogs to smart for that :/
@kerlyy I have the same problem. just recently taught her to give her paw.
Whenever I try this my dog looks away as soon as I try to move the treat
My dog follows the treat but sits in one place
Lol. When I do that. My dog just keep staring the treats non-stop without doing anything.
my dog already knows to sit, but when I try this, she doesn`t lie down, she stands up!! what can I do?? someone help me please.. =)
@jacksonbaseball22 No, Go CHOCOLATE LABS!!!
thanks for the vids!!
great my dog started to lie down in 2 min
My dog ( she is a cocker spaniel) knows down but i can not get her to sit when she is down.
@SuperMikaelAngelo and btw dont worry about hit things just little my dog is over happy now he knows to sit and lay down. You just have to show your dog who is the master. But never hurt your dog just little small hit to head if he walks away while teaching.
@SuperMikaelAngelo you just need to hit your dog little to his head. dont hurt the dog just little. thats what i did. when your dog sits down follow everything in the video. in 2-5 mins he does 1st lay down. give him a cheese or something. after 5-10 mins he keeps laying down . remember if your dog walks away or wont listen to you hit im little in his head and try again. dont give up
@SuperMikaelAngelo She can reach the treat in my hand on the floor from a sitting position. I try to help her lie down with my free hand, while my treat hand is on the floor.
@brichterman Keep the treat in your hand, while your hand is on the floor?
Mine doesn’t follow the treat. I show her it. And try to get her to follow the treat.
She just glances elsewhere and doesn’t care <.<
my dogs r too stupid for any lesson
when i tell my dog to sit it goes to the couch and sits what do i do
can someone tell me if this is made for puppies or do i have to wait until he is a dog
@2021kitty my dog does exactly the same thing!!
