Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Dog Lying Down Training

Lying can be divided into two types: lying on the front and lying on the left side. The methods can be divided into induction and forced methods:

Left side lying induction method: The owner first orders the dog to sit down on the left side, uses food or objects with the right hand to attract the dog's attention, then takes a step forward, bends the upper body downward, and then lowers the position to lie down. Give the command, and at the same time, slowly move your right hand to the front and bottom of the dog's mouth to the ground. If the dog can complete the lying position under this induced situation, then give the dog a certain reward. If you cannot complete the lying position by this alone, you need to induce the dog and press the dog's shoulder blade with your left hand while it is leaning forward and downward, or pull down the traction rope to make it complete the lying position, and then reward it.
