Teaching your dog a reliable sit is very important. Once your dog has mastered the sit cue, they will do it every time you ask. The secret is to teach your dog the action before the word. Small treats recommended.
- hold the treat in your hand between your thumb and index finger
- keep your palm open facing he ceiling
- Ho;d the treat slightly in front of your dog's nose
- slowly lift the treat above your dog's head- causing your dog to look up
- as your dog continuously looks up they reach a point to where they must sit to continuous look at the treat.
- Mark the behavior with the clicker and treat as their bottom hits the floor
