    Yes. Make your dog lie down showing a treat, when the dog is lying give him a treat and at the same time say “good dog, good boy, etc.”, you should stroke your dogs head after you give a treat. Next command your dog to lie down with showing a treat, but don’t give him a treat, just say “good boy” and stroke. The rule is simple: 1/3 “good boy”, stroke, treat; 2/3 “good boy”, stroke. Then 1/4 “good boy”, stroke, treat; 3/4 without treat.

    In flow of time give him less treat, but remember to always give him a price. Even if it’s only verbal price.
    An advice for you: give your dog a reward only with your left hand, with verbal word (ex. “eat”), right hand is
    forbidden. Don’t give him a treat saying “don’t” , “no”, etc., when he won’t take a treat from right hand, give him from left hand (with verbal command) twice of a treat. The dog will think that when he won’t take a treat from his left side, he will take doubled from left 😉

    […] he will take doubled from RIGHT 😉
    Sorry my mistake. Forgive me my english. I don’t use it too much.
    TIP: Learning your dog to eat from left hand with a verbal command should avoid poisoning your dog. Most people is right-handed 😉

    Daxter:

    Don’t use positive reinforcement training techniques.

    If you would like to teach your dog how to _ignore_ food and pay attention to _you_ without the use of ANY corrections, luring, or e-collars, I urge you to Google “Chris Bach’s THE THIRD WAY”

    It is a revolution in Dog Training.

    Hopefully, for the sake of our dogs, everyone will be using The Third Way soon! 🙂

    @IMOZZA I have a german shepherd and shes not exactly the easiest to train, people think they are because they’re intelligent, but if a puppy is untrained, shes gunna be alot more hyperactive than other dogs and destracted alot more

    it would be more helpful if you used a dog that didn’t already know the trick
