Training
your dog to sit on command gives you a way to get him under control quickly if
needed. And the training process helps you bond with your dog. Start by getting
down to your dog’s level and hold a food treat in front of his nose to get his
attention. Raise the treat up and over your dog’s head so he needs to lower his
rear end to continue following it. Say your dog’s name and the SIT command.
Give your dog the treat and lots of praise at the moment his rear end touches
the floor. Practice this training for short periods and as he becomes more
reliable in obeying the SIT command, increase the time between the command and
giving him the treat. Gradually reduce and then eliminate the food treats so
your dog will sit on your command and praise alone. Be patient. Learn more from
