Yep, exactly Sammie, and for Casey it didn't take long at all.
Also, all the puppies I've known tend to lie down out of frustration after awhile anyway, if they don't understand what you're trying to do and you can make that work in your favour.
Glassglass, Casey's stopped doing it now, but because of the way I taught him for the first day and a half he looked like he was bowing (in an asian greeting sort of way) because he's put his head down so low and lied. Oh it was soooo cute! I don't know what tipped him off to the fact that he could keep his head up, but oh well! Poodles are hilarious!
