DOG TRAINING

basic Puppy Commands

Teach your dog to Sit. This is a basic, and easy to teach, command. Starting out with something easy
gives a positive boost to the training session for both the dog and for you. To teach sit, hold a treat by
your dog’s nose. Lift your hand and the treat until his head follows your hand. This will naturally cause
his butt to lower to the ground in a sitting position. After he’s sitting, say the word “sit,” and give him a
treat and praise.

Repetition is key to mastering any command. Practice sit several times a day. Use the command to get
him to sit before you put his food dish in front of him, or when you’re taking a walk and come to an
intersection.
