Thank you, Melanie! We just got a puppy and training book. I thought I’d YouTube it as the book was exactly like your method apart from it didn’t mention putting the treat between their paws. Previous to the paw method he just took a bow lol. I’m confident your method will have him down on mandate soon
im trying to teach my puppy this all he wants to do is bite and play
Thank you
Brilliant dog training 
x
oh man my puppy has learned
ty man
thank you so much Melanie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My puppy does not go for the treat like yours. All she does is stare at the treat and try to get it if it comes close but she does not go at all… HELP!!!
but i really recommend you get your shar peis a botox
@braxman100 sorry wasnt finished lol…initially few times just so he gets used to the proceedings then go back to dog treats cause that way he does it for the bit of meatball (dont use a full one everytime:P) and then he will know what he has to do to get the treat and will know and wont get in interested
thats the rest of it 
@braxman100 I have a jack russell puppy who has an attention span of 5 seconds, it took me 20 mins to get him to lie down using a treat for the initially time. Let him lick the treat as you go your hand down, as you go you hand down and he follows go it towards you, lett him lick the treat the whole time. For a treat he will like try meatballs, but the ones you can eat cold or cooked for the
@Loppetz Are You A Complete idiot, not all dogs are loctose intolerent, only some are, most dogs like cheese and can have it for treats. When the puppy is young and it goes to the vet for it’s injections you question the vet then or the vet will tell you not all dogs are.!!!!.
ok so he likes his treats… but… when his nose touches the ground he puts his butt up so i start over but with about 2 times of trying he is not intrested in his treat so he just walks off
loppetz you idiot. some dogs are lactose intolerant. you cant group an full species to one nutritional rule. they’ll know if that dog is when he shits everywhere with dairy treats. if theyre all lactose intolerant how do they feed as babies? as for the video, next time place the captions over the lady and not the hand and dog. i dont care about what her face is doing, i want to see the training session.
it really works..fantastic!!
although it will take a few more days for my Border collie to do it without any treat 
) He is already vacant down very promptly.
)
It’s incredible how such small things make you pleased
nicely clarified and very cool.
)
I will certainly try this tomorrow with my 2 month ancient border collie. He is a quick learner..have only had him for 4 days
hey, there dog chocolates not human ones lol
oh my god, I just used this method and taught my 2year ancient shih tzu to lie down..I can’t believe he and I may possibly do that…afterall, he wasn’t stupid………..I am surprised……
@MillieTiasMummy CHOCOLATE BUTTONS?!!!! ARE THEY MADE WITH REAL CHOCOLATE BECUZ IF IT IS THEN YOUR DOG MIGHT GO BYE BYE!! please answer…. lolz although you wouldn’t use chocolate anyways cuz it’s terrible for the dog… just to let you know
it work it works it works
i used this Milk-Bone crusty treats they are fantastic for training
This really does work. I had a hard time to get my schnoodle to lay down. He wanted to just bend over. I tred putting it between his front paws and with a few trys he got it. I used cheese and summer sausage for treats. He really liked it. Sometimes I use liver flavor treats. I change it up. So now my littel 3 month ancient schnoodle will sit, fetch and lay down. Im so excited to get him to do this. Thanks
Hey i just use his normal food as treats, and i give him (small amouts of cheese in with his normal food to spice it up a bit for him. I didnt no you may possibly use chese until inoticed that expertvillage uses it. impact in mind i only give him small amounts and not much. i only use it so he doesnt expect just his normal food all the timeand he never knows what he is vacant to get. (you can also try proper dog chocolate buttons) there excellent as long as your dog like them.or simply use bits of meat.
Hey yeh i meant a rottweiler Do you leave your pup downstairs in a crate?
i reflect you must maybe go on to the roll over, roll over is close to a lie down.
Btw, what treats do you use for your puppy? I am trying to find healthy treats but i can’t seem to find them. Read my other message below to read the tale
what are some excellent treats for puppies? I tried the training reward but it made my dog have bathroom problems. I use milkbones, but they are hard to break for a simple training treat. I used to use all natural baked cookes for puppies but now those cookies are too small for poor Chloe. I’ll have to look around the pet store to see what i can find.
My puppy knows sit, shake a paw, a small bit of a lie down. Just one inquiry, when you said a Rottie pup, is that a rottweiler?
I got my shih tzu puppy May 15th and she is 100% housetrained, She sleeps in a crate at night and she never makes a peep. Our dogs are differnt, yours is 13 weeks, so he is about 3 or 4 months.
