Training Your Dog to Lie Down on Command

Training your dog to lie down on command gives you a way to indicate to him that it’s time to relax and calm down. Your dog needs to know his name and reliably sit on command. Command your dog to sit. Hold a food treat in front of your dog’s nose to get his attention. Lower the treat down and in front of your dog so he needs to lower his front end down and out to follow it. Say your dog’s name followed by the DOWN command. As soon as your dog approximates lying down, give him the treat and lots of praise. Practice this often. Gradually increase the time between his lying down and receiving the treat so he is truly lying down. Eventually reduce and then eliminate the treats so your dog obeys the DOWN command for your praise alone. Learn more from your best pet clinic East College Park, Saskatchewan.
