Teaching the "drop"

Description: This is a command that we at HVOC teach dogs to do in obedience, it's slightly different from the "down" position in that it's not as casual, with end results in a sphinx posture. Sometimes found in agility, learning the drop command when hitting the table allows for a quick down position from the dog.

Bugsy7891 ::: Favorites ooh very interesting, I have a 7 month old BC who's in training and his only flaw is his 'down' or 'drop' as you call it, he sort of half does it and shuffles forward so I will indeed try this method and see what happens =) thanks xD 07-01-22 13:46:17 _____________________________________________________
PinayTiger ::: Favorites Lol. Demon's "Down" is actually different from the "drop". We use the down for a more casual position, and in obedience from a sit stay to a down stay. The drop has the legs fold backwards all in one, ending in a spinx position. If that makes sense.... =) 07-01-22 16:35:27 _____________________________________________________
Bugsy7891 ::: Favorites ah I see, hmm I might just use that method to stop him from shuffling forwards xD 07-01-23 13:17:50 _____________________________________________________
assortedagility ::: Favorites Very nice. A very important thing to teach dogs.. now, if only deepchested dogs had an easier time with these downs. :p 07-01-09 19:30:55 _____________________________________________________

PinayTiger ::: Favorites LOL! Same thing with Dobes. I used to show in conformation, shutzhund, and competitive obedience with Dobes and they sometimes always hated lying down. One always wanted to sit instead. 07-01-09 22:35:01 _____________________________________________________
assortedagility ::: Favorites Lol. Ya.. that wasn't exactly a thing I thought about when considering if a pointer would make a good agility dog. :p Oh well, my loved NADAC doesn't even have a table to worry about. 07-01-09 22:38:11 _____________________________________________________
PinayTiger ::: Favorites Any dog can make a good agility dog. 07-01-09 23:04:06 _____________________________________________________
assortedagility ::: Favorites Ah, yes.. but a more athletic dog would make a better one than lets say, an english bulldog. :p Of course, any breed of dog can do agility, but it is not a lie to say that some breeds will just natrually have more skill and natural talent when it comes to competitive agility. 07-01-09 23:06:07 _____________________________________________________
PinayTiger ::: Favorites True. I have the same notion for competitive obedience, since that's what I compete in. Border Collies, Golden Retreivers, Dobermans, GSDs, and Poodles will always do better than most breeds when it comes to competitive obedience. 07-01-09 23:12:57 _____________________________________________________
