Train your Dog to Sit

Dog training can be one of the most satisfying bonding sessions between you and your pet. While it may seem challenging at first, training your dog to sit on command is quite straightforward. First, get down to your dog’s level and hold up a treat in front of his nose. Don’t allow him to eat the treat, instead, from his nose, hover it over his head. As he follows the treat wait until his rear end touches the ground to assume a sitting position. Give the SIT command and say your pet’s name. Then you may give him the treat. Don’t forget to praise him so it reinforces the habit. As you progress try to delay the giving the food to him longer and longer until such time that he no longer requires the treat to follow your command. To further understand your dog’s behavior, you may consult with your local veterinarians Frisco TX.
