One of my clients has just gotten a beautiful new dog, Philly is a 12 week old Akita and is doing great with the training. Today we worked on Downstays and socializing Philly with 2 of my dogs.<\/p>\n
I had the owners 8 year old son teach Philly on the downstay today, it is so important that kids start working with dogs at a young age in order to make sure that the family dog recognizes everyone in the family as the pack leader.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step one, Say the Down Command and put your foot on the leash and give the Down Command<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Step 2 : once your foot is on the floor, hoist up on the leash using your foot as a lever which will then have the desired effect of your dogs head going down to the floor<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once the dog is in the down position you will remove your foot from the leash, you do not say STAY, it is built into the command Down means down\/stay<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
there you have one of my 8 year old clients teaching a 12 week old puppy how to do a down\/stay in about 15 seconds…this is my training, plain and simple, yes it is that simple<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Philly hangs out with Max and Uma to get used to older dogs…it was a very successful day.<\/p>\n
