Use chicken hearts as a special reward
If you want to train your dog with something that is very difficult for him, then you should have something in hand that "convinces" him to do this exercise correctly.

Feel free to show your dog the chicken hearts and place them in a bowl on the floor. But he is not allowed to take it.
