What is a great way to train a dog to sit?

Answer 1

just tell ur dog " sit down"

Answer 2

Stand in front of the dog holding a treat high enough he can't reach it and a little bit in back of his line of sight so he ends up sitting to see it (it's all in the positioning). The second he starts to go into the sit, you say "sit" and give him the treat as well as lots of praise. You can also use a clicker - any time he goes to sit, click and treat. Even if you see him start to sit, quickly say sit and praise. He'll catch on quickly.

Answer 3

The best way is to hold a treat in front of its nose, then slowly move it upwards towards the back of its head. The nose going upwards automatically makes the dog sit, say sit while doing this and give the treat when they sit.

Answer 4

this is how i taught my doggy

First get a lot of small yummy dog treats for your pooch. It is best to do this when your doggy is calm. Then u just push is bottom down on the floor in a sitting position, while saying "Sit". Once u do that praise your doggy with treats and talk in a calm and happy tone. Do that several times but stop when your doggy looses interest.

Answer 5

To put a treat in front of their noses and slowly lift it over their head saying sit as you do this. This is the way I've taught all my dogs

Answer 6

i think the most effective way is to push the dos butt down and hold it there and then repeat sit a couple of times sya good girl/boy and give your dog a treat...after awhile remove your hand if your dog is still sitting give him/her a treat also another good way is to hold a treat right above the head, your dog's nosew will follow it causing in to sit repeat the command a couple of times and sya good girl or boy and give it a treat

Answer 8

Hold a treat out, physically push his butt to the floor, and tell him to sit. Do this over and over for about a week, he'll learn it on his own after that. Give it a good week or so though.

Answer 9

hold a treat above the dogs nose, move the treat back and their head will follow in and they will sit without even having to be touched.

Answer 10

U tell them "sit" and slightly push there butt down and repeat till you can say"sit" and then they sit down without you pushing there butt down.

Answer 11
