The most convenient way is to teach the puppy the “Lie down” command after he has mastered the “Sit” command. This command is one of the main ones on which the further training of the dog is based.
It is necessary
collar, leash, treat,
Instructions
Step 1
We command "Sit" and proceed to the study of the command "Lie".
Step 2
We take a treat and pull from the puppy's muzzle forward in the direction of travel. The dog reaches for the treat, and this time you press on the shoulder blades of the dog so that it takes a lying position.
Step 3
At first, the puppy can arch its back, break free and resist the execution in every possible way, then you can push the front paws into the correct position with your hand.
Step 4
If the puppy is not actively working with the treat, you can use a leash. To execute the command, pull the leash attached to the collar forward and downward while pressing down on the shoulder blades. This effect cannot be achieved in a harness.
Step 5
As soon as the puppy has taken a lying position, we reward him with a treat and encouraging words.
Step 6
Make sure that the dog does not tuck his hind legs under him. Only praise the correct posture. If paws are covered, straighten it with your hands.
Step 7
Train the puppy first at home, in silence, then go outside, achieving the command with many stimuli.
