Training Dogs with Love

Next, Oprah's dogs learn how to lie down. To start, Tamar says to look at the spot on the floor where you want your dog to go and make a straight line from their nose to the floor while holding a treat and saying "down." Place the treat on the ground, and then stand up and step back after the dog lies down.

Tamar also says to make training seem like a game and act enthusiastic when the dog does something right. "You want to be free," Tamar says. "You want to have fun."
