The sit command is the most popular and basic command a dog should learn before following other complex commands. The ’sit’ command is a sign of obedience and should be taught as soon as your dog becomes comfortable with the name given to him. So an owner might be asking, when is the best time to teach your dog this command? The timing is very vital, it’s not a bad idea to practice often without considering other circumstances however, timing and your dog’s frame of mind are very salient factors to consider.
A dog is responsive to training methods usually before meals or when he’s hungry and yearns for something. Make sure to reward your dogs for a good deed, making them wait around will only send confusing message to your dogs and would become disobedient in the long run.
With all this information at hand, it is now time to start the actual training. Be sure to have the treats ready for your dog when he performs well. Start in a quiet place where your dogs won’t get distracted. Slowly move the treats above the head and while doing this, your dog would naturally fall back into a sitting position by bending their legs when aiming for the treat above. When a task is accomplished give your dog some reward. This task may take several days or even weeks to be completed. If your dog refuses to stay in one place while doing the exercise, try using discipline procedures for a short period of time like a time out, take away favorite toys, totally ignore your dog or don’t give treats that are normally meant for good behavior.
