Session 92: The “Down” Command (part one)
In this episode we’re going to jump into another obedience skills challenge. This one is focused on the ‘down’ command.
This is an important lesson for small puppies as they develop, and even rescue adult dogs in instances where they may not have received much training, or were last trained years ago when they were puppies themselves.

I answer an email from Rachael asking about her puppy and (based on the puppy’s age), whether she should stick to just the introductory training or if she’s ready to move to some of the more intermediate and advanced training. I’ll talk about the three phases for training puppies to use as a general guide for your dog. Oh, and I talk a bit about France as well!
