What it is:
Your dog sits squarely on her hindquarters and remains there until released.
How to do it:
- Stand or kneel in front of your dog, holding a treat in your hand a little higher than your dog's head.
- Slowly move the treat straight back over your dog's head. This should cause her nose to point up and her rear to drop. If her rear does not drop, keep moving the treat straight backward toward his tail. The instant her rear touches the floor, release the treat and mark the behavior by saying "good sit!"
- If your dog is not responding to the food lure, use your index finger and thumb to put pressure on either side of her haunches, just forward of her hip bones. Pullup on her leash at the same time to rock her back into a sit. Praise and reward her while she is sitting.
- Once your dog is consistently sitting, wait a few seconds before rewarding. Remember to reward while your dog is in the correct position.
