Teach Your Dog the Very Important Command of "Down"

If you have mastered the command "sit," the command "down" can be taught in much the same way. Consider the following suggestions to master the important command of "down."
  1. Catch a moment when your dog is lying down. This is best done in a boring, small room such as a utility room or bathroom.
  2. Reinforce the lying down behavior with a treat while he is lying down or when he lies down.
  3. Say your command word or phrase to stand back up, use a lure of any kind for encouragement if needed.
  4. Now, wait for him to lie down again.
  5. While he is lying down after standing up, start saying "down" right before he does lie down.
  6. Another way to lure a down from a sit or stand is to hold the treat in your hand close to the dog's nose, then slowly bring the treat to the floor. Give the treat when the dog's elbows touch the floor to start.
  7. When you accomplish a few repetitions of #6, begin bringing your empty hand to the floor and give the treat after the dog lies down. When the dog consistently follows your hand signal, begin saying "down" as you move your hand.
Important to remember:
  1. Never use force to put your dog into a down position.
  2. Training sessions should be short and fun.
  3. You should always, always end the training session on a positive note. I suggest giving the dog a healthy and tasty chew treat or play a favorite game with your dog.
  4. Different breeds of dogs learn at different rates, just like us humans. If you find your dog is having a hard time learning or is being stubborn, slow down, or change the type of training treats and/or rewards you use. Rewards should be something the dog absolutely adores. Life's Abundance offers a variety of tasty and nutritious treats. Find the one treat your dog just loves and consistently offer that one. Be sure whatever treats you offer are healthy treats. 
  5. If you find your dog starts to gain too much weight while training due to having to use so many treats. Try Life's Abundance Wholesome Hearts Low Fat Treats 

  1. Lastly, whatever  food rewards you use to train your dog, always be sure the treats are nutritious. You don't want to add extra calories or "junk" to your dog's diet during training sessions.



So far as nutrition as a whole, pet owners are more than ever concerned about what their pets are really eating. This is why Life's Abundance cooks dog food in small batches with safety considerations second-to-none, which ensures pets stay happy and healthy. 

If  you raise puppies, the type of food  you feed and send your puppies home on is a crucial decision. Be ahead of your competition and feed the highest quality of food you most possibly can.
