 Alright, welcome back to dog talk and coffee with me Richard Hines. I am your dog training expert of everything dog training, puppy training, obedience training, fixing aggressive dogs, training protection dogs, service dogs, tricks, anything that has to do with dog training, I am your expert. So today I am going to be going over how to do a down in motion. A down in motion is when you are walking and you tell your dog down and they just drop and you keep walking without hesitating, without stopping your walk. This has been something I have been asked a lot also over the years so I am going to bring it to light here and show you how to do it. It is not hard to do, it just takes proper technique. Now pre this though, you really should have a great down command already out in front of you that if you say down without bending over or putting a treat down, if you just go down the dog should drop into a down with no hesitation. So we know that your dog has a very good, great, fluent down command. So preferably before you start this it will make this so much easier and very quick to teach if you already have a great down command on your dog. Now if you do not have a great down command on your dog already, this is the video to go to, I have two. One is completely positive and the other one is positive with E-collar work attached. So either of these will teach you what you need to know to have a great down command before you start this. So how do we do this? So I am going to show you here, this was filmed a few weeks ago and this dog has a phenomenal down already. So this is going to take us pretty much one session to two sessions to get this lightning fast and really well executed. So here you are going to see Michael with his Dutch Shepherd and he is going to start walking. We have food in that left hand of his holding it up in the air as he is healing her when he is ready at a nowhere he is going to go down and push his hand fast all the way down to the ground to get the dog to go drop and deep into the floor. This causes speed and gravity into the floor making the end result of a down very fast and heavy into the ground. Now in the beginning when you do this you don't keep walking. So I have him push his hand down, keep the food in his hand and just take a step or two around her front and then face her to cut off any moving forward on her. So what you do now is with her this is going to be different right now the first step that we did with rib tide at the end. This has to be a plot and a turn in front to block off any moving activity. Because here is the complication of this. When dogs know heal really well like she does and they are so ingrained to following that leg always everywhere the moment that you start to drop them and there is nothing there to stop them their instant nature is to continue they go down and then they ride away jump up and go to follow the leg and never let you get away from them. So this is the biggest problem that everybody goes through teaching a down in motion. So this is why we are doing all the way to the floor in the beginning and then just a step or two and turning and cutting her off and feeding and feed between her legs on the ground so she eats down here yes digging herself into the ground right making that the association pushing into the ground and eating into the ground makes very fast into the ground and games now once we have that a few times going. We start to spread the game a little bit okay so now he'll start to go and he's going to less drastically put his hand all the way to the floor and just go but and put a push and she'll go down right then you feed yes that was lightning fast and now what he's going to do is throw the food between her legs right so she's got to eat out of the ground while he continues to move a little bit away from her yeah it's very good right exactly yeah if you can do that perfect I don't have that coordination yes and then we do it again like that right right so fast that goddamn plots now the next one what you're gonna do is now we had a problem yesterday with a little bit of a jog so I add a little bit of a slowness to it but yes I throw the food yes yes and we get beautiful execution of it so this took one session to do well and that is because she already had a phenomenal down command so just keep that in mind your prerequisite should be to have a great down command with no hand help you should just be able to go down with your no hands no leaning over the body no down that none of that stuff down the dog hits fluency that is gonna make this a piece of cake and this took one session how to teach her how to drop while he's moving and in motion and my goal retriever here I've shown him YouTube no food no not this is just walking I see down he drops down down and now is no food the end result of after a few days he just drops into it while I keep going so there is the down in motion hope you enjoyed I'll see you on the next video I am Richard Hines your dog training expert on everything dog training till next time see you then
