No apology needed, Bob - I'm embarrassingly newbie here, with anything beyond basic obedience.Bob Scott said:

My Sable does a slow platz ... I want more speed, but I'm not sure how to speed
her up
Jerry is correct, but I'm not going to tell my dog. That would totally mess up his beliefs in things I've told him in the past. :wink:
How are you teaching it? Down/platz/place is a submissive position for a dog. I prefer to teach it motivationally. My dog gets a bigger reward, the faster he goes down. Just one of MANY ways to speed up the platz. Others use the e-collar quite successfully. The sooner the dog hits the deck, the sooner the stim is let off. LOTS of ways. Hopefully you'll get more options here.

Mod, please split this into a separate thread if need be - I'm sorry if I've

I've done sitz 1st, with the platz next by lowering a treat between the front
legs. She's been doing this successful for a few weeks now. Both her sitz
and platz are pretty slow, but the platz is seemingly done in stages.
1st, she lowers - almost to the ground. Then, while keeping eye contact
with me, it's like she's processing the command in her head. I mean, she'll
go all the way down in about 6~8 seconds. I'd like it to be quick - a
straight down!
praise in a much more enthusiastic fashion?

Do you mean like two treats instead of the normal 1, orBob Scott said:

I did, this is a split-of from the send-away topic. I added the dutch word for down(af) in the topic title.Martin Espericueta said:Mod, please split this into a separate thread if need be - I'm sorry if I've

I was always much more literal in my translation to dutch, I never looked up the commands you use in holland, I just used the words I knew from speaking dutch... I say lichen/liggen for lay down (I dont know how to spell that?), I say af to tell him \"off\" such as \"off the furniture\", he listens to both stellen and \"pak 'em\" which people assume is \"pakken\" in german, but I'm just being informal in dutch :lol: Like \"take him\" in English. And I also use the dutch translation of Platz, which is, well, Plaats... but to me \"place\" means come to me and lay down in your place, which is lay down in heel position. I know, I'm all kindsa weird with my commands, but nobody else knows what the hell I'm telling my dog so it's fineSelena van Leeuwen said:
I'll teach my dutchie the correct words, if I don't confuse myself. My dog tends to understand HOW I say something more than WHAT I say.
I talk to my dog like he's a person LOL \"OK Cujo ga naar boven!\", \"He woofje ga liggen\", \"wil je naar buiten?\" etc, \"liggen\" is easier to use in a sentence because it makes sense to me, but Af is easier to use to quickly give a command. I tell him voet for heel, but he also knows volg, he doesn't do a \"focused heel\" so both commands mean the same for him... if we are just walking I tell him \"rustig\" n he stops pulling on the leash but doesn't go into a perfect heel. He heels to my right because it's easier for me, but my dutchie will have to heel left so I can walk 2 dogs when she's older
I learnt my dog a quick down in the house first. You get the dog to sit and have its favourite treat or ball in your hand. You kneel in front of dog or to the side and build the tention up on your hand. You can say \"wait, wait\"for example then when the concentration is there bring your hand down to the floor with super speed. When the dog is down give the treat or play tug with the ball. Same from down to sit........... keep the hand low by the ground with the treat or ball in it, build up the tension on the hand till the dog is watching carefully then command \"sit\"as you bring your hand up rapidly from the ground. Do this 6 times......dog should have it down to a tee in no time. Works great!Martin Espericueta said:Jerry Lyda said:So which is it?

Once the dog has got the point go outside and try with distractions then build from there.
I beg to differ... I'm pretty sure my dog thinks along the lines of \"oh my god what a freakin slave driver!!! I don't see him doing push ups! OK I give up, I'm gonna go sniff me some pee in the grass\".Bob Scott said:
