Tiago ( my 9 week puppy ) now has learned sit and shake hands and we are going to the next step which is down.
I made some 5 minutes an hour ago trying to make him move towards my hand while i was holding a threat and with my other hand i push him from behind his neck towards the ground whil i say down. He seems to have understood the concept but still seems there is much more work to do. I make him move while i push him downwards because its a lot easier to push him downwards while moving. after he is in down position i praise him and give him a threat.
I need advices if possible, I am open to all methods.
