Teaching Your Dog Down with Luring - Troubleshooting

Описание: Teaching a puppy to lie down is part of every puppy's early education. However, sometimes it can be a bit harder than it advertised! Here I'm working through this with Jamie at 14 weeks old - we had been working on "Down" for several weeks, and it was time to do some focused troubleshooting!

If you are like me and Jamie, your puppy or dog might need a little bit of troubleshooting work to get that down position mastered. Jamie very quickly got the concept of running to his mat and sitting, but the down position piece was a little bit more challenging for him.

We did a bit of trouble-shooting off the mat, to see if we could get that down position. Here's a video of this process - it's several mini-sessions edited together, so it's a bit longer than some of our other demo videos, but it's worth the watch if you and your puppy are also having a difficult time getting to the down behavior step.

It's important to know that this was after several weeks of working on this skill, we went back to the drawing board with luring and worked back up! If you want to see what his session looked like the very next day, you can check it out here:    • Jamie Finally Gets the Down!!
