• Your dogo should lower himself all the way to the floor. • Only give him the treat once he is on the floor. Repeat the words "Lie Down" many times: Say, "Good boy, lie down. Lie down you good boy." • Practice this several times during the day and over several days. After your dogo has learned the command to 'lie down', you can practice it with 'stay'. It's okay to let your dogo lie down and stay for 15 or 20 minutes.It is okay if he falls asleep! Once in a while it is helpful when he needs to calm down. Only give your dogo the treat while he is lying down, not after he gets up. When he gets up, give him lots of hugs and kisses!
