As you are walking, command your dog to "Stand". Step with your left leg and place finger under her belly to hold left leg. Stand beside the dog, then leave your dog. Hold this position for 30 seconds to one minute.

Stand-from the frontal position

Face your dog and stand close by. Hold the leash in the right hand. Command your dog to "Stand" as you pivot slightly to the left and hold your finger under the dog's belly by the dog's left leg.

Down/Stand

Practice until she sets her elbows down first.

Send out

Have her "Sit and Stay". Walk away and place food on a dish. Then return to the heel position. Point with your left hand and finger and command the dog to "Go". After he eats the food off the dish, entice him to come to you with treats and kiss sounds and walk him a few feet further from the food dish then before. Have the dog "Sit and Stay", and start the process all over again. If he fails to obey, get him closer to the food dish. Repeat this process three or four times.
