LIE DOWN… one of the most important

commands you have. If things get out of

control use this command and go to your

dog and start from where he stopped.

Remember go to your dog, don’t have your

dog come to you.

And to make it more confusing - Lie Down

can mean stop, or sometimes just slow

down!

But you have the commands of “Walk up”

and “Easy…………walk up” to slow the dog

down.

With time and experience, the dog will learn

that a sharp command means you want him

it to stop immediately, but when the

command is soft it signals the dog to check

his speed to allow the sheep or cattle to go

slowly and further ahead.
