Dog Training - Down after Stop

Next training session is the “Down after Stop” exercise. This exercise is a combination of several commands. It starts out with the Heel command, followed by a full stop when the dog shall sit down automatically, and then the Down command is given. When the dog is laying down the Stay command is given, I walk 6-7 meters away from the dog, turn around and stop. The dog shall remain in the down position. I walk towards the dog and a few steps behind the dog, then turn around and walk up to the dog. The dog shall not move until the Sit command is given.

Just watch the video, Aurora does it almost perfect… on the second try!!
