My students get to choose one way out of two or three to teach their dogs "down":

Place your dog in the "sit" position. Say "down" as you slide his feet out in front of him. Treat him when he is in the down position.

Then there is the baiting down, the one you are using now.

Then there is the foot down. If your dog keeps comming up, place your dog in the down position with the leash on. Step on the leash so he can't get up.
