Hi Everyone
Think back to teaching down. This was our topic at training class this week and Libby wants no part of it.
The instructor explained by placing a treat out in front and letting them follow it from a sit. No go, Libby just stands and tries for the treat. Then they said, get her in a sit and grab gently at her elbows and lower her to the ground. NO go.
The instructor last night told me that I need to work submissive downs then. That seems a little extreme to me.
What do you all think? With our lab we just did a sit and then moved the treat down her right side to her rear. She had to down.
What has worked for you all?
