If you are a dog owner you are probably thinking about how to train your puppy. Well, there are a few basic commands you would want to start with, one of them being to lie down.
If your puppy learns to obediently follow your "down" command, it will really make everything a lot easier for you and him in the weeks to come.
To start off, you need to put a collar around his neck and attach the leash to it. Then give your puppy the signal for the sitting position.
In the left hand you'll hold the leash at a short distance. In a quiet but firm tone give him the verbal command "Down". Raise your hand so he is able to see it.
This will signal the actual down signal to him as you'll be pulling him down using the leash. Immediately you may want to place a treat between his paws while you praise and stroke him or her saying "Down."
You will need to repeat this several times in a row, and in a happy modulation of a voice praising him and giving him a goody each time.
It might be necessary when starting to bend over a bit when you are giving the signal but afterwards as he or she gets much more familiar with the exercises you are able to stand up straight to provide the exercises.
What you might need the leash for is if your puppy tries to lie down at a different location from where he was standing. If he does so, put him back in the original spot.
The puppy will most likely go down by themselves after repeating the exercise for a while. You want to be excited and in an exceedingly ecstatic tone of voice and tell them how much of a good puppy they are as you give them the treat. This will encourage them to display this behavior again.
