I have a 14 week old pom puppy and training is generally going pretty good! He knows sit, down, touch, come, how to ring a bell, and we're working on spin. We're also trying to learn play dead, but he WILL NOT follow a lure onto his side.
I've successfully taught this trick to several dogs in the same way, but this lil guy just will not do it. I lure him into the down position and from there, attempt to move the treat around and over his shoulder to encourage him to roll onto his side… except he won't do that part. He just stands up to go after the treat. He's getting frustrated and nipping at my fingers in an attempt to get the treat.
Any tips on how to get him to follow the lure over into his side instead of standing up and getting frustrated with me?
