​

When we are teaching our dog to sit on cue, we need to remember that sit is a natural position for our dogs.  Our dogs sit many times during the day on their own, so is fairly easy to teach. sit is a basic behavior but very powerful  it help prevent unwanted behavior and can be offer as a alternative for miss behavior like jumping 

​

Shaping the Sit Cue

(we not saying sit yet)

​

1. Have a treat in your hand, with your dog standing in front of you. 

2. Put the treat close to your dog’s nose and up over his head, Lure/guiding him into a sit position 

3. When he sits, click or say good and give one treat.

4. repeat until your dog sit almost automatically when you start luring him into a sit 

 

Adding the Sit Cue

​

1. When your dog is lured into a sit position 95% of the time and fairly easily, then, you may move to the next step, saying the cue  

2. Say sit and start luring your dog into the sit position, when he sits, click or say good, and give one treat    

       

ASK YOUR DOG TO SIT FOR EVERYTHING.

TURN SIT INTO A FUN HABIT FOR YOUR DOG.
