Teach Your Dog To Sit Quickly

Teach Your Dog To Sit Quickly

by Melanie Brooks

The one thing that every dog needs to know how to do is sit. Teaching a dog to sit is probably the easiest trick in the book. If you own a small puppy, it is going to be even easier. An older dog learning how to sit may take a bit more time, but it is possible. Dogs learn to sit by praise. You must first introduce them to what sitting is.

Gently place your hand over the top part of their bottoms and gently push down. Once you have gotten them into the sitting position, sternly and nicely say "sit". Now, make sure that they have sat and give them a treat for praise. Love on them for a bit and then move on. Wait a while before doing it again because each time you do it, you will be rewarding them for it. You do not want to do it 5 times in a row and wind up having to give them 5 treats!

Using treats while training your dog to sit while help him or her learn a lot easier without too much confusion. He or she might think, "Okay I get it, so when I sit, I get a treat!" So in the beginning, while you are in training, give your dog a treat each and every time that they sit. Oftentimes at first, when you are training your dog to sit, they will exhibit confusion. This is very normal because sitting will be very new to them. Dogs favor routine, and once sitting becomes a part of their daily routine, it will be something that they truly enjoy doing for their owners when asked.

Young puppies are often the easiest to train when it comes to sitting, but this is only because they are so young. Sitting is a simple and easy command that can be taught to any dog. Older dogs may show a bit more confusion that the younger pups, but this is simply because they have gotten into much more of a routine. Do not think for a second that your older dog cannot learn how to sit because they still can. It is just going to take discipline on both the pet and the owner's part.

If you are having a seemingly difficult time teaching your dog to sit, you may need to go to your nearest library and rent a book on your particular dog breed. Different dogs have different temperments combined with their own unique personalities. What is normal of one dog breed may not be so true for others. There are many things that will factor into whether your dog has an easy time learning how to sit, but most of it will be up to you. - 20511
