8.1 Which Dogs Should Learn this Exercise
For some dogs who are anxious or highly excited in certain situations, dispensing
treats in order to distract them works well, and they learn to be calm. However,
in more difficult situations or for dogs who are more challenging, it works better
to actually train them to perform a replacement behavior such as lying calmly in
a down-stay. The Treat&Train™ system is particularly well suited for training this
task because it provides the reinforcer to the dog when the dog is in exactly the
correct position and posture—a task that’s not as easy or convenient when you’re
rewarding with treats given by hand.
8.2 Overview
The goal of the down-stay exercise is to train Fido to remain lying down for
extended periods of time. In this exercise, Fido gets treats when lying down and the
treats come so frequently that there’s little time for him to get distracted and get
up. The first few times he may get up to get the treat before he realizes that he can
get them while lying down. If he gets up, just tell him “Down” or lure him down
again and reward him again once he’s lying down. Do make sure the Treat&Train™
system is conveniently located so he can eat from it while lying down.
NOTE: Make sure Fido is truly motivated to work for his food. Stop the session
if he looks bored or isn’t hungry. To test whether food motivation is the issue,
switch to a tastier treat and watch to see if he’s suddenly more focused, or try
later on when you know he’s hungrier. Also realize that if Fido is nervous or
scared, he will be less likely to eat. So in some cases you may need to make his
environment more comfortable.
