How to Teach Your Dog to Lie Down For Dummies

[rsharp208]

ive gotten my dog to sit but when i get him to lie down he never wants to put his ass down.

[enigmath]

this is amazing. so simple. i'm getting a puppy tomorrow and i have a question. she's 5 weeks old, i can't give her treats (i don't know if there's treats for such young puppies). so what do i do? because i would like to start training her now, not wait until she can eat those. should i try with just petting her?

[hotarunee]

My dogs to smart for that :/

[fistpump95]

Whenever I try this my dog looks away as soon as I try to move the treat

[Rav123123]

My dog follows the treat but sits in one place

[joeytay1996]

Lol. When I do that. My dog just keep staring the treats non-stop without doing anything. :o

[kerlyy]

my dog already knows to sit, but when I try this, she doesn`t lie down, she stands up!! what can I do?? someone help me please.. =)

[chadizz]

@kerlyy I have the same problem. just recently taught her to give her paw.

[thiago1357able]

great my dog started to lie down in 2 min

[JoshXWebb]

My dog ( she is a cocker spaniel) knows down but i can not get her to sit when she is down.

[SuperMikaelAngelo]

Mine doesn't follow the treat. I show her it. And try to get her to follow the treat.

She just glances elsewhere and doesn't care <.<

[DirtyFan2]

@SuperMikaelAngelo you just need to hit your dog little to his head. dont hurt the dog just little. thats what i did. when your dog sits down follow everything in the video. in 2-5 mins he does 1st lay down. give him a cheese or something. after 5-10 mins he keeps laying down . remember if your dog walks away or wont listen to you hit im little in his head and try again. dont give up

[DirtyFan2]

@SuperMikaelAngelo and btw dont worry about hit things just little my dog is over happy now he knows to sit and lay down. You just have to show your dog who is the master. But never hurt your dog just little small hit to head if he walks away while teaching.

my dogs r too stupid for any lesson :P

[Tayjar88]

when i tell my dog to sit it goes to the couch and sits what do i do

[Gamerguy9900]

can someone tell me if this is made for puppies or do i have to wait until he is a dog

[horsemadmoo23]

@2021kitty my dog does exactly the same thing!!

[2021kitty]

my dog only moves it's head about half way down is there a way to get it all the way down?

[patrickpoo]

he just looks at me like im an idiot

[Nikki279]

my puppy is way aggressive and hyper when it comes to seeing a treat right in front of him. He wants that treat and has only has his eyes and attention on that treat. When I put my hand down to the floor only his nose and mouth moves with my hand. Teaching him how to sit was pretty easy though.

[brichterman]

I have a Westie with very short legs, and she can reach the treat on the floor from a sitting position. Any tips?

[SuperMikaelAngelo]

@brichterman Keep the treat in your hand, while your hand is on the floor?

[brichterman]

@SuperMikaelAngelo She can reach the treat in my hand on the floor from a sitting position. I try to help her lie down with my free hand, while my treat hand is on the floor.

[GamingDreamGuy]

nice ! xD

[meglupo18]

my dog doesnt follow the treat. i think he thinks he shouldnt. he starts to feel like you are toying with his emotions and gets annoyed lol. ugh. I dunno what to do

[thatgurl193]

Thank you for the video! :) I did exactly what you said and my maltese puppy learned to lay down on command. :) I am very happy, thank you! :)

[TheSaz123]

[Mrjacobholmes]

Awsome! I'm teching my boxer, Bryan this trick and he is improving every time we do it! he is about 8 months now.

THUMBS FOR BOXERS!

[meganxyxx]

[Noobalator]

@meganxyxx It died.

[meganxyxx]

@Noobalator oh. then I should probably move him now.

[EsCeNcE4eVa]

[Li4mEvraz]

This is great THANKS



[chichirinuriko20]

Aw! This seems really helpful. I tried to teach my cat to lie down, but she'll just put her head. When I saw this video, it answered my question why. Now I feel good teaching her. lol

[hannahgtv9]

[2139351530]

[Dz477ProductionVidz]

[macbethdvs]

[SqueedooLaDuh]

[UNF0RGIVENx3]

i try to get my pup to lie down, but instead he just jumps into my hand rather than lying down. Help?

[barnabyray11]

that dog is just wanting the treats... take him to a park and he'll be crazy. i train my dog outside.

[Ema4Maz]

this normally works great....but this time iveTried tried and tried again! all my other dogs have done this without any problem but do you think i can get my 1yr old amarican cocker spaniel to do it - or anything else NOPE! she will sit but i think thats just because she a lazy pooch!

[courtneyahawkins]

AWESOME! Gonna try it on my stubborn chihuahua right now!

[mlni1996]

why my labrador when im saying down he still in sit position and just staring at me why? can someone answer me? thanks for advance^^

[MusicFreak590]

I'm not the big dummie but good video 

[HalvardBK]

30 tries and I made it! The only thing is that now she does sometime when I say lie down, she sits and reverse! :p

[ilovethebarret]

thx

[missgothika]

i think this is more difficult than the sitting one.. cos i've tought mine to give me her hand before giving her the treat XD.. so i imagine that she'll be giving me her hand than paying attention to MY hand.
