Introduction
Teaching your dog to sit is a basic dog training command that most dog owners are familiar with, as this simple technique teaches your dog to have good manners in various situations.
In this 3-minute video, dog trainer Nancy, from the American Kennel Club, demonstrates the “Sit” dog training command. She provides the following tips to dog owners:
1. Fill up your pockets with dog treats.
2. Place a treat in front of your dog’s nose to ensure that your dog is motivated to receive this treat.
3. Lift your hand up. Your dog’s head will follow your hand (as it contains the treat).
4. Your dog’s rear will naturally move towards the floor, as your dog lifts its head up (to follow the treat in your hand).
5. When your dog sits down, reward your dog with a treat.
6. If your dog jumps up, wait for your dog to sit down again (and then reward your dog with the treat in your hand).
7. When your dog starts to sit down easily without the treat, you can then use a hand signal or the command, “Sit”.
