Why hello there, pup! Wanna learn how to sit?
Items needed: yummy treat and leash
What to do:
Capture your dogs attention by displaying the treat in your hand. when he shows interest, hold it above his head, and move your hand away from you, so that it goes behind the dog. As you do this, say the command "SIT" in a firm voice and be encouraging. If all goes well, the he will sit so that he can see the treat. ONLY after he sits he should be given the treat. As you give him the treat be sure to be encouraging and happy.
If all doesn't go well: Use the leash to your advantage. If he starts to walk away, bring him back in to you. However, DO NOT EVER use the leash to punish him, because he will eventually develop a phobia of either you or the leash, and training will not be good for him. If he tries to jump to get the treat, firmly say NO and try again.
