i'm teaching morgan to sit and lay down. she knows sit. she'll sit when i ask her to for the most part as long as she's not distracted by other dogs or not too excited.
she getting more familiar with "lay down" too. we're having some trouble staying down.
i'll have her infront of me while i stand, i'll say "lay down" and she'll lay down. i bend down to give her a treat she will stay down and take the treat but then she immedeately pops up to a sitting position to eat the treat.
i tried telling her to lay down, then letting her lay there for a time but after 2-3 seconds if i don't give her a treat she will pop up to a sitting position then i'll have to tell her to lay down 2-3 times then show her how to lay down by placing a treat on the floor infront of her so she has to lay down to get it. basically i have to re-train her what lay down means. i think she's getting confused when i don't give her a treat right away when laying down.
