You two look great! We're in obedience with Kai he's going to be 11 mos old this month - has a bit of the "bratties" going on, but we're working on it - Both you and Prince look like you're having sooo much fun! :)

Wow, Prince is a gorgeous dog! I'd love to see how he has progressed since then... very obedient for 9 mos though!

Stop rewarding the down from the sit. That is what is causing the problem with the down. Never work distractions if you are not set up to block the dog from self rewarding.

I couldn't think of anything snarky to say as it is too early. HA HA

Jeff...Would you explain what you mean ...Thanks...: ) "Stop rewarding the down from the sit. That is what is causing the problem with the down. "

Hi Ruger1,

I really enjoyed watching you training Prince.
I do similar videos' of my students'.We then watch it togather.
I find my students are able to see their shortcomings/errors
and effects of proper corrections.

He is very nice and I like his forcus/watch (looking at you)
and the way Prince tucks himself into position.
The position of Prince during heelwork,the about turn,
the different pace,(fast pace)the turns and the halt/stop& sit
correct.(he could be a little bit more animated.)

As mentioned by Poseidon, The reluctance/slow to go down,
could be due to not rewarding Prince for just the down position.
Try to teach only one exercise,the down from different positions.
i e,while walking ,running,from a stand ,etc.
And ensure the elbows are down before rewarding.
Try to get the dog,to get to the correct position,you do not adjust to the dog.

I'm sure you'll work it out. All the best in training.

You're making the down a very negative place to be for your dog. Its little wonder he doesn't want to down.
