чтобы протягивать правую руку и захватывать лапу dogs, поскольку собака очень маленькая, вы протягиваете не руку, а один или два пальца позади ее передних лап. Затем толкаете эти лапы вперед, а левой рукой нажимаете ей на спину, заставляя лечь на землю, причем сразу же похвалите собачку, приласкав her.

Continue to work with your dog on the "near", "sit-place" commands (do a couple of times) and then, while doing the "near" command, stop. When she sits down, quickly make her lie down. Not забудьте сказать слово «лежать» громче, чем имя dogs. The command should be pronounced with a drawl: “le-e-zh-at!”.

INажно упомянуть, что собаку не надо заставлять ложиться снова и снова, команды нужно чередовать, чтобы она не знала, что последует дальше. Never give two “down” commands in a row, alternate with “sit” command, then add “sit-place” or “beside” with automatic execution of the “sit” command before giving the next “down” command. Work in this mode during the first 15-minute half of the session; then take a break, as usual, holding the dog on a 6-meter rope, in the presence of distracting objects. After a break in the second half of the 15-minute session, repeat everything you did in the previous 15 minutes. After the second half of the lesson, take a second break, and then leave the site, thus ending the first day of practicing the “down” command.

Too friendly dog ​​and nervous dog

Work with этими собаками так же, как и с обычной, средней собакой. After you've made the dog lie down a couple of times, these dogs will try to anticipate what you're about to do and react quickly. The best way is to alternate the commands so that the dog never knows exactly when you give the command "down" and act quickly when you make him lie down. These dogs may also present a problem by urinating on their leash or soiling it intentionally or accidentally after how they were forced to lie down. They may turn on their back and tangle their front paws into a leash. These dogs are trying to put an end to classes. To counteract this, grab the leash near the dog's neck with your right hand, where the leash connects to the collar, and after giving the new "near" command, walk with the leash up.

The dog can express its protest in another way: by grabbing your right hand. In this way, she lets you know that she does not like what you are doing and would like you to stop it. She hopes to drive you out of patience. The best way to end this is to withdraw your hand before the dog touches the ground. Отведите руку вниз к правому бедру, чтобы она не могла вас схватить за нher. If inы проделаете это несколько раз, вы сможете заставить собаку лечь, а правую руку отдернуть прежде, чем она коснется земли. And in protest, these dogs can completely roll over on their backs and wave their paws in the air. If she rolls over on her back at the very beginning of learning the “down” command, this is still nothing, and you should still praise her for lying down. But if she does it with a defiance, behaves violently and hysterically, you must immediately stop it by grabbing her by the leash near the neck and quickly go, ordering her to go "close".

Чередуйте команды и работайте с собакой в течение двух уроков по 15 минут каждый, не используя объекты, отвлекающие attention. In addition, give him two breaks as usual, during which the dog must be on a 6-meter rope, in the presence of distracting objects.

Work with этой собакой точно так же, как с обычной средней собакой. IN знак протеста она может пойти с вами. To this you must respond with a run as you go, following the command "close". She may also try to grab your right hand when you make her lie down. INы должны быстро отдернуть свою правую руку прежде, чем собака коснется земли, с тем чтобы не дать собаке вывести вас из терпения и сорвать занятие.

Spend two 15-minute lessons with no distractions. Take two 5-minute breaks in the presence of distracting objects. Hold the dog on a 6-meter rope.

Timid shy dog

A timid shy dog ​​should be handled in the same way as a normal medium dog, except that it must be prepared to obey the command "down" and not forced her to go to bed right away. To prepare her for the "down" command, let her follow the "sit-place" command. After a few seconds, return to her, standing on the side. Погладьте ее по боку и по ногам, помедлите и только затем похвалите her. Make several stops with the "sit-place" command, when you come back and lightly touch her, pause and then praise. By doing this six or seven times, you will prepare the dog for the "down" command. Make him lie down just as you would with a normal medium dog and praise him enthusiastically when he lies down.

Work with этой собакой на протяжении двух 15-минутных уроков без использования объектов, отвлекающих внимание, с двумя 5-минутными перерывами, держа собаку на 6-метровой веревке, в присутствии отвлекающих объектов.

shy biting dog и агрессивная собака

The main thing in working with these dogs is gradualness. When you begin to force this dog to lie down, it is sometimes helpful to verbally praise it before it hits the ground. It helps dogs overcome anxiety. INо всех остальных случаях работайте с ней точно так же, как с обычной средней собакой.

Spend two lessons of 15 minutes each, without using distractions, with two 5-minute breaks during which the dog will be on a 6-meter rope, in the presence of distractions.

INторой day

Spend two 15-minute lessons with no distractions. INо время двух 5-минутных перерывов содержите собаку на 6-метровой веревке в присутствии отвлекающих объектов.

The third day
INсе dogs

Work with каждой из этих собак так же, как в первый и во второй day обучения команде «лежать". By this day, you should already be meeting less resistance when you make them lay down.

If after a few days you find that your dog is lying down almost on your command, don't let him do it now. INы должны все равно заставлять her. lie down, keeping the left hand on her back, and with the right, grabbing the front legs and pushing them forward, not letting her lie down yet herself. It is very important that the dog does not lie down by itself, but that you force him to lie down. If you let her lie down on her own now, in the future you will not get from her such reliable and fast execution of the command, as is achieved using the technique described here.

Give your dog two lessons of 15 minutes each, no distractions, with two breaks of 5 minutes, holding the dog on a 6-meter rope, in the presence of distractions.

Fourth day
INсе dogs

Work with each dog in the same way as on the previous days of teaching the “down” command. How обычно, проведите занятие, состоящее из двух 15-минутных уроков, без отвлекающих моментов, с двумя 5-минутными перерывами, держа собаку на 6-метровой веревке, в присутствии отвлекающих объектов.

Fifth day
INсе dogs

Для большинства собак этот пятый day будет последним, когда вам приходится заставлять собаку ложиться. IN этот day работайте со всеми собаками так же, как в предыдущие дни. By this time, the dog should be comfortable with you forcing him to lie down. She should get used to this command, to what you are doing, and stop resisting. If you feel that you have not yet fully overcome the resistance of the dog, then do not move on to the sixth day program yet. INместо этого продолжайте заставлять собаку ложиться еще в течение 1–2 дней, пока она не будет относиться к этому совершенно спокойно.

Spend two 15-minute lessons with no distractions. Take two breaks of 5 minutes while holding the dog on a 6-meter rope, in the presence of distracting objects. Так закончится пятый day обучения dogs команде «лежать".

Sixth day
Это будет запоминающийся day для вашей dogs. IN течение последних пяти дней вы обучали ее, что означает слово «лежать», физически заставляя ее ложиться. Now you can be sure that she knows what the word "down" means and what is expected of her when this command is given. Starting from this moment, the process of learning this command ends. You will never return to this technique again. If she refuses to lie down, you correct. These corrections will be tighter and will be different from those applied before.

Очень важно, чтобы в этот day на площадке не было никаких отвлекающих объектов. If you do not have such an opportunity outside the home, then It is best to train your dog in a secluded room. If inы будете заниматься с собакой дома, то учтите, что пол должен быть гладким, твердым и скользким.

average dog

Arriving with the dog on the training ground, start working on the full program. После разминки остановитесь и, когда собака автоматически сядет, повернитесь налево, оказавшись почти напротив dogs. Loosely holding the leash with both hands, lean forward slightly and give the command by calling the dog's name and saying the word "down". IN течение четырех секунд стойте неподвижно. When you give the command, the leash should hang completely free. Если собака не ложится, что встречается весьма часто, то вы должны провести коррекцию следующим way. Holding the leash with both hands, slowly move your hands towards the dog, starting at a distance of about half a meter from
