Indeed you did and I have printed it out and been learning it! 🙂 I just got confused as to what you meant by drop. I interpreted it as a “give” which you’ve now cleared up!

sequence is:
cue
behaviour happens
click
reward by throwing out treat to set dog up for the next cue

Ok so, just to clarify in my head:
For sits:
1) Throw out treat…
2) As she comes back, raise right 1st finger…
3) As she sits (assuming she does), click…
4) Throw out next treat…
For downs:
1) Throw out treat…
2) As she comes back, point right 1st finger to the ground…
3) As she lies down (assuming she does), click…
4) Throw out next treat…
If she doesn’t lay down (It’s a little touch and go at the moment), is it best to interviene and push her bottom down? Or rather than “throw” a treat out, use the treat to lure her to the floor (maybe while pushing her bottom down)?
