Am I off base, if not, how is that done?

How do I get him to lie down anyway?? Thank you!

Talk about timing, I came to this very article yesterday to ask why my 4 month old lab wasn’t getting “lay down” after he had picked up sit and even shake hands so well. I had been trying for weeks to get him to lay down! I had been gently guiding his front legs to the ground whilst saying “lay down” and then tried luring him but all he would do is stand up and try to get the treat. I had my question all typed out then decided to give it a bit more time before I asked for help.

Then yesterday when I got home, I had a brief training session with him. After guiding him down gently twice, I then lured him, and instead of standing up, he laid down! Twice! I was so happy with him getting it after just two aided attempts. We played his favourite game as a reward.

Maybe two times out of five now he will lay down when I lure him. He still stands up to take the treat which is natural given he’s only literally just picked up how to lay down, but I am so pleased with his progress!

He has never liked it and will only do it if I have a treat and lure him from a sit position to a down position. I feel we should be beyond this by now and he should do it on command without being lured. Is my assumption fair? He is a sweet, head strong male who also struggles with recall.

Hi Robert, he will like it if you make it rewarding. Use the luring method. Check out this article too Rachael learns to lie down
