Training Tips 2en6a
- Try teaching your dog to sit before its regular mealtime so your dog’s hungry and eager to work for the reward.
- Avoid confusion by always using the same command word: sit. Don’t confuse your dog by saying “sit down.”
- Always have the treat ready in your hand to give your dog as a reward – don’t keep it waiting by fumbling around for the treat in your pocket! You must reward your dog the very second it responds to your command by sitting down.
- Be patient and never get angry with your dog – dogs pick up on their owners’ feelings and won’t have fun if you’re not having fun.
- It’s best NOT to push your dog down into the sitting position with your hands, even if you’re having trouble getting your dog to sit on command. If you do start pushing the dog down, it might associate this feeling with the actual training and wait for you to push him down to a sitting position in the future. Just keep trying until your dog gets it right on its own.
