My husband, Eric, is back as I show him how to lure a young puppy into a down and start laying the foundation to build in an automatic stay into the behavior. 

This pup is guide dog puppy, Kash (featured in other videos) at 8 weeks old. While the down seems simple, there's lots of tips packed in here when we're starting to teach this important behavior. 

Happy Training!

Every bit of this was good to see. I like to play “WWLD*.” The puppy whines in the crate—will Laura say, “that’s okay, she’s excited to train,” then let her out? No! Even then, training is happening—wait for a quiet moment, then release. Also at the very end—pup stays lying down after “free” cue. WWLD? She says “that’s perfectly okay.” That one is a classic question! Thanks very much to your volunteer(?) for being an excellent learner-trainer. *(tm) “training awareness” bracelets at Doggy U, $5 :)

Im going to watch this again but I would like to know what signs does a puppy give that's says he is done training? I want to rewatch this information on those signs and see if I can spot them.

Hey Tammie! So signs may vary by puppy but some signs of going too long would be typical stress signals like yawning or sniffing things that aren't there. Or you could find out you've run "too long" because the puppy/dog wanders off, is slower to do the exercise or slower to return once food is thrown, or just knowing it's been a while and I shouldn't push it. With young puppies it can also be them starting to nip or mouth at you or a nearby toy. \

My pup likes to do a side flop half the time. Should I only mark and reward when he lays down properly with elbows on the floor and rear end straight (not flopped over)? Sometimes I can get him to straighten his front end from a full flop but not his back end unless I make him get back up.

So I like to have both, but for service dogs, the side sit is my preference. I actually teach a cue to go for the straight "sphinx" down to the "relaxed" down.
