Settling on Cue

What you will need:

  • Tasty treats

  • 4-6ft leash

  • Comfortable bed or mat

  • Your dog!

 

Step 1

Lure your pup into a down using a treat, but do not use the word “down” or “stay” - we want to avoid any training keywords. Once in a down, reward 10 times in a row on the ground between their feet.

Step 2

Toss a treat away to allow them to get up and reset.

Repeat steps 1&2 for a total of Three times!

Step 3

Wait and let your dog offer the right behavior and calmly reward them when they do!!

Over time, your dog will start to offer the down right away when you sit and relax, and then you can skip the first two steps!
