Homeland K-9 Dog Training Academy

I have been having a difficult time teaching Lilli the "down" command.  If you remember she wouldn't "down" when you had her those first 4 days.  I have been working  with her at home pretty often on down as this is my biggest  concern passing the basic to intermediate test. Now...as of today... she will NOT " down" with the e collar on but will "down" without the collar????? What am I doing wrong? Everything else she is so much better with the ecollar on, faster sits, good stays, excellent recalls, off leash heel even with turns.....but she will just walk in circles when I try "down" with the collar.  HELP.... I want to take and pass the test.

If she will go Down without the collar, then when you take the test, don't use the remote collar to stimulate her for this command. Or, if she won't do it with the collar on at all we will work with you and can take the collar off completely before we do this command.  Keep working with her on it (even without the collar) so that she is well conditioned to the command.  You can talk to me in class more about it if you want before the testing on the 28th.
