How I Teach a dog "Down"
​with a Check cord

​After a request this past week for how I teach a "down" with a check cord, I put together a video showing that with a Beau x Rev pup, "Bull".  

In this video:

• I'll show you the process I go through to get the "down" and transition to "There"
• Rhian's done the legwork with Bull, so we will see how he does with a different handler
• I'll explain what I call "micro corrections"​
• What I use for my check cord
• How to use your paddle in a way that creates less pressure on your pup

Would you like to see more?

If you'd like to see more of how I do this with a pup that's struggling and throwing some fits, you can check that out in my exclusive membership.  I put up 2 or more training videos per month and an occasional live video training where you can ask questions. PLUS - you get access to my library of previously released videos.
