Step one of the down

Secured the leash to my chair with sixteen treats ready. Start listening to the backlog of podcasts, while keeping the corner of my eye on Parker.

When he finally gives up (he knew I had treats ready) and lies down, click and toss a treat so he has to get up to get it.

Repeat until he does sixteen downs this way.

I got to fourteen before Parker figured out that he could crawl to the tossed treat without getting up. So treat fifteen was for a sit and sixteen for the last down.

Next step is to do the same thing with a stopwatch to record how long it takes for fifteen downs.
