Teaching a lab to lie down is easier if the dog is a pup.
Teaching the dog to lie down is easier if he/she will sit on command.
If the dog is not at this phase yet; put a collar and leash on the dog, holding the dog
still; with rearward pressure; push down on its hind quarters and give the command, (Dog's name), sit.
Praise the dog if it can maintain this posture. Be enthusiastic but not overwhelming.
A treat, a small tidbit, can also be helpful but only after a few seconds holding the position the command is given for.
The command to lie down is accomplished by taking a dog from the sitting position and applying pressure to the front shoulders in a downward manner, while giving the command (dog's name), down. Once in the down position keeping contact on the dog praise it and give the command again.
Stand up and holding your palm flat over the dogs line of vision give a downward motion of your hand and give the command down.
I was able to train my lab in this manner when he was around 5 and 1/2 months old. He would do very well for short periods of time and then would want to play. Pups are like kids so stop training sessions when they are non attentive.
Good luck
