Training Your Dog To Sit.

Training your dog can be a bit tricky. Some dogs are high energy, or have a low attention span and grow easily bored of your training techniques. Here are some tips to help properly train your dog to sit on command.

There are three common types of techniques dogs respond to during training. Some dogs are food oriented, some are attention oriented, and others respond best to repetition. Figuring out which your dog responds the most to is the first step.

For dogs that are food oriented, training treats are key in a quick success. Whenever your pup properly responds, reward them with a treat. Slowly deduct how often you give them their reward until you reach the point where treats are no longer necessary.

For a dog that responds best to attention, praise is the best reward you can give them. Upon sitting, give your dog plenty of praise. Use enthusiasm in your praise for the best result.

Lastly, some dogs respond best to repetition. This may become tedious to you during their training, but for a dog that responds best to repetition you will need to repeat the task multiple times until it sinks in.

Once your pup has successfully learned to sit, you can move on to the next step in your training. But remember patience is important when training your dog.
