Want your dog to lie down obediently? Need to train. The correct posture for lying down is that the forelimbs are flat on the ground below the elbows and stretched forward, as wide as the body, the hind limbs are tightened and placed on both sides of the abdomen, the head is naturally raised, and the tail is naturally stretched behind. The password is "Lie" and the training method is as follows:

(1) Mechanical stimulation training method

The shilling dog sits on the left side. The owner steps forward with his right leg and takes out the squatting position. He holds the leash in his right hand and pulls it forward and downward. At the same time, he presses the dog's shoulder blade forward and downward with his left hand, forcing the dog to lie down. Action, and then reward the dog in time. (2) Lure and stimulation training method

The owner makes the dog sit on the left side, takes a step forward with his right leg, bends the body forward, and then uses the right hand holding the reward food or object to lure the dog. When the dog shows acquisition, take the opportunity to hold the food or object and slowly move it toward the front and lower part of the dog's mouth, and at the same time issue the "lie" command. In this way, the dog will lie down under the action of temptation and stimulation. When the dog lies down, reward him with food or objects in his hand in time. It can also be combined with mechanical stimulation by pulling the traction belt forward and downward while inducing stimulation.

Issues that should be paid attention to during training:

1. After the dog lies down, if the hind limbs are skewed or the head falls on the ground and other incorrect postures, the dog should be made to lie down again before being rewarded.

2. When a dog is slow to move when lying down, forced methods should be used to encourage it to move quickly.

3. Before the delay has been consolidated, do not rush to combine it with training to avoid destroying the delay.
