How to Teach an Old Dog New Tricks : Training A Dog to Stay Down

[cooluka99]

@BlackRabbitS2 try pushing your dogs heaf gentely to the ground or use real meet as a reward

[BlackRabbitS2]

I followed the video and my dog follows the treat until it goes down to the floor, but when it reaches the floor he doesn't follow the treat anymore and just sits there. I try to grab his attention to the treat and encourage him to follow but he doesn't. What should I do?

But what if your dog is a big dog with big teeth and that gnawing that the dog is doing trying to get the treat HURTS?

@TubingTubby use leather gloves my uncle had a pitbull and he used gloves to train his dog.

wouldn't it be nice if this video was called training the dog the "down command" instead of the "stay command" since there is no stay training in the video.

I love when a dog shows you how much they want to do what you ask of them
