To perform this exercise:
1. Place your dog in a sit.
2. Holding a treat or toy in front of your dog's nose, slowly lower it from her "nose to her toes." (Her head should follow as you go)
3. Once you dog's head is near her toes, slowly pull the treat away from her feet (at ground level) until she automatically lays down.
4. Tell her "Good Down" and reward.

Note:
• Again if your dog is having trouble or is feeling frustrated break the exercise into smaller pieces.
• Remember to use the word "Off" when your dog jumps so that she won't be confused about the meaning of "Down."
