Using a lure as Anna suggested works most of the time. Small dogs have a shorter distance from the mouth to the floor and don't have to reach as much as a larger puppy so they can be more difficult. Try bringing the lure straight down from her nose between her front legs really slowly and then really slowly along the floor towards her belly. Did I mention that it needs to be done slowly? :) You can also sit on the floor with your leg straight out in front of you raising it just off the floor. Put her on one side of your leg and lure her under your leg. She will need to lay down to get under your leg. Then C/T ! > > Cara was the one with success with clicker training and dogs. I'm rusty at it. Looks like you are doing a great job so far! Can't wait for the "down" video! Sarah in MT
