Your dog should move into a down position by following the movement of your hand. Never push on your dogs head to encourage a down. It could injure its neck.
Note: The dogs legs should kick out from underneath him. Notice the back legs in the picture. This may not happen immediately but you will want to work towards this. It will help your dog to remain in a down stay position when you are ready to teach him.
