I cant get my dog to lie down, when i set the food near the ground after he sits he just tries to eat it or he walks away from my hand.

My dog is short too, until I just tried saying the word and I actually got her to do it. She’s a little bit bigger than your dog, because she’s a shih tzu, and does the same thing, but it worked! She now lays down when I tell her too.

Ugh my dog doesn’t do that
He is very very short. He’s part wiener dog, part chihuahua. So he just sniffs and tries to get the treat when I put it down on the ground like that. Can someone help me?

for you to train a dog u need to have patience with your dog…another way could teach your dog is by puttin the leash on your dog while he is laying down the the word donw give her or him the treat and say good boy or girl n practice with ur dog couple of time until he or she gets it

my dog was the same then i watched the show “its me or the dog” and i saw the lady wouldnt let the dog move or do what he wanted until he sat. i tried this with my dog and it worked beautifully

also make sure when you dog does go “down” its a propper down. YES there is a right and a wrong down. If you look in the video the first time the big dog goes down, that is sorta inccorect. (that is conisdered a pounce position) and propper down would be if the dog is sort of resting on its back legs…

try training her in short bursts and only when she is calm and relaxed. Calm and relaxed makes all the difference in the world

my dog won’t listen to anything as soon as i try to teach her she’s a small dog miniature pinscher and it’s like as soon as we try and teach her something it’s like she blocks every command we taught her!!! we tried to force her to lie but then ends up being a fail!!! what to do??????

I have a small, old dog and she just sits there. She knows how to sit but when I try to lure her into “down” she just bends her neck far down and gives up. What should I do?

My dog doesnt do that, he never lies down on the floor, only on beds, and when you tell it to sit on a bed, it lies down. but it sits automatically when i say it on the floor.
