For the past week, I've been working with Little Joe on "play dead". I guess I've over-trained him, because now as soon as I approach him, he immediately goes down into his "dead" position, hoping for treats. I ask for a sit, I get "dead". I ask for lie down, he's dead. Yup... I have a dead dog! :dogwacko:
When I give a sit command and he goes "dead" on me, then I just wait patiently and he eventually realizes that he should be sitting and gets into the proper position. I try not to repeat the command more than once. But now I'm going to have to go back and reinforce all the other basics before proceeding with the next trick. Oh, well....
