1. The training purpose of this subject is to enable the dog to develop the obedience of lying down quickly and correctly according to the command, and to maintain the ability to lie down and delay.

2. The command is "Lie".

3. The front distance command of gestures is to raise your right hand, then extend it forward, with the palm facing down. When lying on the left side, stretch your right hand forward and downward from in front of the dog.

4. Training methods and steps

The first step: Make the dog respond to the "lie" command and gestures to establish a conditioned reflex.

Method 1: The dog owner asks the dog to sit on the left side, take a step forward with the right leg, bend the body forward and downward, and then use the right hand holding the piece of meat to lure the dog first. When the dog shows acquisition, take the opportunity to hold the food and slowly move it toward the front and lower part of the dog's mouth, and at the same time issue the "lie" command, and use your left hand to stimulate the dog's collar forward and downward. In this way, the dog will lie down under the action of food temptation and mechanical stimulation; when the dog lies down, food rewards will be given in time. Stop for a while, and then ask the dog to sit up; later, as the conditioned reflex gradually forms, food and mechanical stimulation can be reduced or eliminated until the dog lies down completely according to the command and gestures.

Method 2: Make the dog sit down on the left side. The owner of the dog takes a step back with his left leg and kneels on one leg. His left and right hands reach out from the dog's back to hold the dog's left and right forelimbs. While giving the "lie" command, lift the dog's two forelimbs. Reach forward and gently press the dog's shoulder blade with your left arm. Dogs will lie down when forced by mechanical stimulation. With this method, food and pet rewards must be timely. Dogs with sensitive skin should not use this method.

Step 2: Command the dog to lie down from a distance and develop the dog’s ability to lie down and delay. The method of commanding the dog to lie down from a distance is to make the dog sit down, and then the dog owner walks 1 meter in front of the dog and faces the dog, holding the leash in his left hand, making a lying down gesture with his right hand, and at the same time giving the "lie down" command, such as the dog If the dog is not lying down, repeat the commands and gestures, and use the leash to pull forward and downward to force the dog to lie down. When the dog can make movements smoothly, you can use the training rope to control it and gradually extend the command distance to 10M. During this process It is necessary to continuously consolidate the dog's movements, step by step, and the distance should be combined with both distance and distance. According to the training situation, the combination of commands and gestures should be flexibly mastered.

The method of cultivating the dog's ability to lie down and delay is the same as the training method of sitting delay. If the dog can hide in a correct lying position after the owner leaves 20 meters away, it can wait for less than five minutes.

Step Three: Exercise under complex environmental conditions. After the dog's lying down subjects are relatively consolidated, it can gradually enter more complex environments for exercise. The initial requirements should not be too high. After the dog's adaptability is gradually enhanced, it can be resumed from the more difficult ones.

5. Things to note

1. After the dog lies down, if there are problems such as skewing of the hind limbs, the dog should correct it in time, but pay attention to the method to avoid destroying the entire movement.

2. Do not frequently train in conjunction with lying down and sitting, so as to prevent the dog from automatically sitting down after lying down or automatically lying down after sitting down.

3. Before the lying delay is consolidated, do not rush to combine it with the forward training to avoid destroying the delay.
