    @Saygeiful as long as the dog seem to.. at least, like the training session. because if it’s not the case, the dog will hate traning sessions.

    @RyanOfficial2009 …
    @RyanOfficial2009 Teach your dogs the way you want, and as long as it works and it’s not abusive, great. If you’d like to think what I did was cruel, go ahead. Taught my dog, didn’t hurt her, and I didn’t even have to do it very many times before she got it.

    The technique in this video didn’t work for my dog, she didn’t understand it, how else was I supposed to teach her?

    I yell “BANG!” and he falls on his tummy. Find something ur dog likes. “Treats, Bone, Pretzel.” And use it on them.

    I’d like to see when the dog actually learns how to lie down that way. xD

    Because, sure, the dog CAN lie down when she lures him to the ground, but does the puppy know what he’s doing and why he’s getting praised? Probably not. That’s all I’m saying.

    But maybe it does work. I push my puppy down or pull her paws down (not abusively or anything) so she’s lying down and say, “lie down” and give her a treat if she stays.
