Dog Tricks : Down

When your dog has mastered to do a Sit position, we can progress to do a Down Position...

Start your dog with a Sit position, bring treat in your hand ( always !). Start the treat on your dog's nose and bring the treat vertically down to the floor. If your dog is really attracted to the treat, he will follow the food and make a down position.. When your dog is in a Down position, Give him the treat and say "good boy/ good girl"

If your dog doesn't follow the treat and thus does not make a down position, try it again. Maybe try to get his attention by changing to another treats or a toy he love..
