I personally don't like slip collars sometimes they work, I've trained pitbulls before didn't have much luck in that kind of training. I had better luck with petsmart or positive training then with corrective training... I just git my first chi mix about four months ago soo I'm not sure about that... You might look to see if there are classes for small dogs

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?
