Training My Dog - How to Train My Dog to Sit

By Daniel  Oluwatobi

When most dog owners get their puppies, one of the commands that will like their puppy to obey is the "sit" command. For some, it is difficult, but it is not as difficult as most people think it's just that some dog owners do not know the right technique to do this and so they only succeed in confusing their pet.

When training your puppy/dog to sit down I grouped the training technique into two categories. The first technique is for young puppies and the second technique is for the older dogs.

Technique 1

When you are with your dog and it sits down or about to sits down or in the act of sitting down, you can say "sit" in a clear but firm tone. If your puppy is about to sit and you give the command sit and it obeys you, you can just give praise. What you have succeeded is doing is building association between your sit command and the act of sitting.

Technique 2

For older dogs the above technique may not work very well, so you can use this second technique for your older dogs to command it to sit. For older dogs, you can just hold a tasty treat and guide the treat from his nose level up over his head and make sure this treat is about few centimeters away from its nose, by doing this your dog will want to follow the treat there by it rear end will touch the ground and as soon as this happens, give the treat and lavish your dog with praise.

But note that this tasty treat must not be too far back over its head else it will jump up or backs away. You can now repeat this procedure until your dog gets it, then you can now introduce the verbal part of the command just before you move your hand say sit. When your dog gets it, give praise. Your dog will soon get used to the verbal sit command and respond. Remember consistency plays a vital role in this technique.

However What I am about to share with you is a dog bad behavioral stoping secret that no one will ever share with you.

Dog Tricks - Teach Your Dog to Sit Up and Crawl

Jon L Martin

Sit Up

This is a trick that may be too difficult for some dogs to do because of physical limitations. On the other hand, terrier breeds such as Westies, Bostons, and Cairns are particularly good at it.

Before you begin training, it's a good idea to test the dog's physical limitations. To do this, first put on his leash, and then pull the dog straight up until he is sitting on his haunches and see if he can hold the position for a few seconds. If he holds the position, he can do the trick, and give him a treat and praise.

Start by having the dog sit in front of you while on his leash. Begin pulling the dog up with the leash while saying, "Sit up," then drop the leash and stand back. If the dog stays up, praise him highly; if not, repeat the command until the trick is mastered. If necessary, you can also hold his paws up and say, "Stay!"

Crawling

This command is, of course, one of the staples in the motion picture business, and is one of the oddest things to see a dog do. Therefore it is one of the more satisfying tricks to teach.

You should start training for the trick with the dog in the down position. Place one of your hands on the dog's shoulders and hold a tasty tidbit close to his nose. Keeping your hand in place, tell the dog to crawl. If he tries to get up, keep a little pressure on his shoulders so that he knows you want him to stay down. When the dog has done one step crawling, praise him and repeat until the dog can do one step without any help and starts to grasp what the "crawl" command is all about. When he can do this, repeat the procedure until he can do several steps, then give him the same command from a standing position, rather than a down position.

After the exercise your dog needs to be re-energized with this formula
