Lying down training is to cultivate the dog's ability to lie down quickly according to the owner's command. Password: 'Lie'; Gestures: Lie on the front, raise your right hand up, and then stretch it forward, palm downward; lie on the side, point your right hand downward from in front of the dog. First, make the dog sit on the left side. The owner takes a step forward with his right leg, bends his body forward and downward, and then uses the food held in his right hand to lure the dog. When the dog shows that it is acquired, take the opportunity to slowly move the food forward and downward from the bottom of the dog's mouth, and at the same time issue the "lying" command. When the dog lies down, reward it with food in time. In the future, as the conditioned reflex gradually forms, the food stimulus can be cancelled, and the dog can be made to lie down with verbal commands and gestures. Another method is to make the dog sit down on the left side, then the owner takes a step back with his left leg in a squatting position, holds the dog's two forelimbs with both hands, issues the "lie" command, and moves the dog's two forelimbs toward Stretch forward and use your left arm to press the dog's shoulder swelling. When the dog lies down correctly, reward him immediately. Remember, don’t punish your dog when it does something wrong or doesn’t obey instructions. Instead, pat its head and praise it as soon as it does something right, and it will become more obedient, because encouragement is never too much.

Basset dog rolling training

If the dog has learned the two actions of "lying down" and "not moving", then it is very easy to order it to roll. Make it lie down, and then command it: "Roll!" While giving the command, grab its chest and let it roll from side to side to express your meaning. Do the initial exercises several times, and stop rolling it with your hands as soon as possible.

When it begs for something, it will pay attention to your fingers and keep its eyes on the food in your hand. Your hand holding the food is higher than its nose, and the hand is in an arch shape, passing through its body from the left to the ground. Then move to the right end of it so that it rolls 180 degrees with the food. You should put a hand on it to prevent it from jumping.

Training reaching out and "shaking hands"

At the beginning, shout "reach out", then pick up its left front foot with one hand and its right front foot with one hand , while saying: "Okay, okay", take out one hand to touch the dog's throat or chest, and give it some food, so that it will learn faster. (Picture source: Internet)
