Drop-kick dog (in the best sense)

I was worried that I couldn't train a little dog like Eric because I'm used to pushing Fin or Eli's back end down with my hand to force them to sit. I discovered during this evening's lesson that I don't have to bend over to push Eric's butt down - I can use my foot! It's like kick-starting a motorcycle, or like doing the Bristol Stomp (for those of you old enough and American enough to remember the Bristol Stomp).
