So You Want to own a Dog #8 Teaching your Dog to lie down

So You Want To Own A Dog # 8------Teaching Your Dog To Lie Down ---1---Once the puppy is sitting, Kneel at its left side and hold its collar in your right hand. Holding a food treat in your left hand, place your hand on the puppy's nose before moving it downward. ---2--- As the puppy's nose follows the treat, move it forward to the front of its body. The moment the puppy starts to lie down, give the command ''Down,'' but do not reward the puppy yet. ---3--- Move the food just far enough forward to lure the puppy to lie down. Reward the puppy with praise and the food treat. Repeat the exercise frequently, until the puppy responds to words alone.---Repreve-Bruce Fogle, DVM---And Pet Supplies Plus,
