I don't believe in keeping the leash tight or holding the dog's head up, either. Sadie

Food in both hands, alternate which one rewards him. End when he's in drive with 'Done' and put him away to digest what he just did." +1 I would stick with one or the other too. Clarity, simplicity ..... and one link in the command chain at a time.

Don't confuse your dog OR yourself by switching back and forth until you and the dog really understand what your doing. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks
