7.1 Which Dogs Should Learn
This Exercise
All dogs should learn to lie down on cue.
Down is a calmer position for dogs than
sit, and an easier position to hold for long
periods of time.
7.2 Overview
If your dog knows how to lie down on
cue, you can skip this chapter. If your dog
doesn’t know this yet, don’t fret. It will
only take a few short sessions and he
only needs to know how to lie down for a
second or two before you continue with the
rest of the program for training dogs to lie
down calmly in high distraction situations.
Here are two different methods. Both rely
on shaping—meaning we’ll start with a
behavior or position we can easily get,
and systematically reward ones closer and
closer to our goal behavior of lying down.
Recommended Practice: Three 10-minute
sessions every day.

he lowers his head and front end to sniff it,
let him eat the treat, then offer additional
treats in the same location. When he eats

For small dogs with very short legs,

them on a raised dog bed so that
they have to reach down a little.
