Find more like this at: http://www.dogproblems.com Training the down command with this "green" (new to training) dog, here are snippets from three 20 minute training sessions. Yes, the dog really learned that fast! We transition from food to the leash correction-- which will allow us to work around distractions, later.
You are probably a great trainer but I do not agree (and some other experts also)with your forcing them to go down it is too hard on their legs. No matter how gentle you push, he looks a little uncomfortable.
I had a dog with potella luxation and I tried it once and hurt her because i didn't know about her condition then.

Thanks for using a "green" dog. It really makes it easier to watch the progression of teaching a new command. Great video!
