Drop on Heel
Prerequisites: Basic & Advanced Obedience, Down
NOTE: Do NOT attempt this exercise until you have been instructed in the 'Down' command
and have practiced the down command for a minimum of 3 weeks.
1. Heel and sit your dog several times to warm up.
2. Give the dog a 'heel' and move forward. As you come to a stop, give the 'down' command. If the dog doesn't drop
to the ground, give the down correction.
3. DO NOT give a 'sit' command before the 'down' command. However, if the dog chooses to sit first, that is fine, just
be sure it's flowing directly into the down command.
4. Repeat the above steps 10 times. If you have to correct, that repetition doesn't count.
