This one is also surprisingly easy
to teach, although it always takes a few sessions before dogs
fully grasp it:
Lie your dog down in front of you.
You first get your dog to touch the area in front of him with his
nose. As with the "close the door" trick, you do this by lightly
rubbing a treat on the ground in front of him. When your dog goes
to smell the ground, praise and treat him (better still, press
your clicker and treat him).
Repeat this a few times then introduce the command word "SAD".
After he gets the hang of this, start to delay giving the treat
for a short period, thus extending the time he needs to hold the
position. He will gradually be able to do this with the command
alone.
We hope you enjoy teaching your dog some of these tricks and would
like to thank our friends at Canine Concepts for providing the
