DIY Dog Sit Training

Teach your dog to sit on command! Select a treat that your dog will want. While standing in front of your dog, show it the treat. Say the desired command, such as “sit,” and move the treat back over your dog’s head and up slightly. When your dog sits to follow the treat with its head, immediately praise it and give it the treat, then say a different command to tell your dog to stop sitting, such as “okay,” or “release.” Repeat the training daily in a new location and slowly decrease the amount of treats given as a reward until the rewards are sporadic.
