The Emergency Down: A Lifesaving Skill for Your Dog
Training is not just about teaching tricks. It is about keeping your dog safe in the real world. The Emergency Down is a thoughtfully designed companion guide that helps you master one of the most important cues your dog can learn: stopping and lying down instantly, no matter the situation.
This guide shows you how the Emergency Down can prevent dangerous situations, from halting a dash toward a busy road to stopping a chase after wildlife. More than a behaviour, it is a vital tool for building trust, control, and peace of mind in everyday life.
Inside, you will discover:
Step by step training methods that make the down cue clear, fast, and reliable.
Simple games and confidence building exercises that keep your dog motivated and engaged.
Practical strategies to reinforce the cue in real life situations with distractions and distance.
Troubleshooting tips to keep training positive, effective, and enjoyable for both you and your dog.
Whether you are raising a curious puppy or refining the skills of an adult dog, this booklet gives you everything you need to create a safe, reliable response you can count on.
The Emergency Down is ideal for dog owners, trainers, and anyone who values safety, trust, and connection with their dog. It is more than just a training tool. It is a guide to creating a stronger relationship, one instant down at a time.
