Success!
My dog training is working! I successfully taught Gehry his first new command, “Lay down.” He kinda learned “Sit” right away, cause he was naturally sitting down when he was waiting for a treat anyway, just in that cute “I’m a puppy waiting for my treat” kind of way, so I don’t count that.
I’ve been working on “lay down” for a couple weeks now. I’d tell him to sit while holding up a treat, then tell him to lay down. In order for him to lay down I had to hold his back half down and put the treat on the floor in front of him so he had to lay down to get it. This didn’t seem to be getting any easier for him, and he’s always so hyper and impatient, so I didn’t think he was really learning it, but today he suddenly started doing it on his own! Such a smart puppy! I’m such a proud puppy mommy now! Its like watching a child grow!
