My chi, monster will lay down. It took a while for hime to do it in the training class at petsmart because he didn't wanna lay on the cold floor so I did it at home on the carpet and in class sometimes we put a blanket down. Eventually we got him to lay on tile and now he will lay down wherever. I don't think it was that hard to teach it. It might just take longer Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

About five months ago we adopted our Chihuahua, Delia from a shelter. She has been so much fun, and gets along great with our three cats. We recently started a basic obedience class. She is the only little dog in the class, and it's a bit challenging because we can't use a slip collar for correction like they do on the large dogs. Part of last night's lesson was to lie down or the "down" command. The trainer told us that it's very difficult to teach little dogs to lie down. Have any of you successfully trained your Chi to lie down?
