Training Sit

0

There are a number of ways to train sit. You can use a clicker and capture the action. Or you can ask the dog to sit right before you know it is going to sit and then reward it. You can even lure the dog into a sit and then praise it for sitting. Training Kita to sit was a pain because she refused to sit in the house. It took us quite a few tries to to figure out why she wouldnt and it ultimately came down to her. She wouldnt sit because her pads were to slick as a puppy and her feet would slip out from under her.



  1. Get your dog’s attention and show her that you have a treat in your hand.
  2. Hold the treat just above your dog’s nose (not too high or she might jump).
  3. Say your dog’s name followed by the word “sit,” spoken clearly and firmly.
  4. Move the treat back towards your dog’s ears.
  5. Give your dog the treat followed by petting and praise.
  6. Repeat 5-6 times.

Tips:

  1. If your dog does not sit on her own after a few tries, avoid pushing her into a sitting position. Instead, spend some time watching her. Anytime she naturally sits, say “good sit,” then praise and reward her.
  2. Hold short training sessions throughout the day in various locations, both indoor and outdoors. Include the front door and food bowl as regular training locations. This will make her more likely to sit when greeting guests or before feeding.
  3. Once your dog becomes and expert at sitting, you no longer need to give a treat every time – only occasionally. However, rewarding with praise is always a good idea.
