Teach Your Dog to Sit

Teaching your dog how to sit may be a basic trick, but still requires work and determination for success.

Directions for small to medium dogs
  1. Begin by holding onto the collar while the dog is in the standing position.
  2. Using the command, "SIT," gently push down on the dog's hind quarters.
  3. Once the dog sits, give praise.
  4. Repeat
  5. Gradually, the dog will start recognizing the word "SIT" and the action.
  6. Once this recognization is established, only slight pressure on the hind quarters should make him sit.
  7. Repeat until just speaking the word, "sit" makes the dog sit.
Directions for large dogs or more stubborn dog

Because a larger dog cannot be simply forced to sit, a different tactic must be used.

  1. Hold a dog treat slightly over the dog's nose, but not too high as the dog will jump.
  2. Use the command, "SIT."
  3. As the dog looks up, it will automatically sit.
  4. Praise and feed the treat.
  5. If the dog does not sit, hold the treat slightly higher.
  6. Repeat until the treat is not longer necessary.
