Speedy Downs


How fast will your dog do something? Well, maybe, if you drop something on the floor your dog will be on it in a heartbeat! Right? But when it comes to safety or necessity...how fast can your dog do what you ask?


I live on a busy street corner; The church is across the street and three schools are just down the way. School buses and  family cars constantly drive by our home. So it is really important for Daisy to have an Amazing Down. Why do I choose the Down Command over a Sit? Because being flat on the ground seems more stable and safe; Kind of like when someone shouts "Hit the Dirt!" I need to rely on Daisy's ability to drop in a Down quickly for any emergency.

As I have said, I live on a busy street corner which is also on a hill. There have been times when I have been out in the front yard or driveway playing Fetch with Daisy and the toy errantly goes into the street and starts rolling away. Without an Amazing Down, Daisy could go after the toy in the road and get hit by a car.



Maybe you are wondering why I wouldn't call her to Come? Well because saying Down means Stop Moving, NOW, and "Hit the Dirt!" which could be the safest, quickest thing to do at the moment.

My best,
Dru
