Repeat the preceding steps, noticing how quickly your dog flings himself into a down in order to get the reward.

Now add your dog’s name and the word “down.” Hereafter, it will always be the same form, for example, “Sparky, down.” The command is to be given in a pleasant but firm voice and never repeated.

Continue anywhere from five to fifteen minutes (with a break for playtime) making sure to quit while your dog still wants to train!

The next time you train, start in the same location but then move to another room. Remember: Knowing the command in the living room does not automatically mean knowing it in the bedroom. It will take a while for your dog to generalize to the rest of the house. When he has mastered that, you can take the show on the road. When he is indoor/outdoor certified, proceed to “Getting off the Chuck Wagon”, “Correcting the Down”, and “Distractions on the Side”.
