The best time to start training your dog is without a doubt when it is still a puppy. Stimulating his intelligence and abilities will help you in his adult stage since you will enjoy an educated and obedient dog for many years. We can start practicing obedience with our dog when it is between 2 and 6 months old, always without forcing it, with sessions of between 10 and 15 minutes.
In any case, and even if your dog is already an adult, you will be able to teach him to sit since it is a very simple command that you will quickly if you have your dog and a handful of snacks or treats within reach, you will also need some patience because you will have to repeat it several times for him to remember.
Find out how teach my dog to sit step by step in this article on our site:
During the training of a dog it is very important to use positive reinforcement as it improves the results and allows the dog to positively relate education, something very important. For this reason, the first step will be to get treats or snacks for dogs, available at any store. Choose the ones you like, preferably small in size.
Let him sniff and offer him a, it's time to start!
Now that he has tried a treat that he likes and motivates him, let's start teaching him, grab another snack and keep it in your fist, let him smell it without offering it to him: you have managed to catch his attention and the dog is waiting to get his treat.
With the treat still in your fist, it's time to start moving your arm over the dog as if walking an imaginary line from its snout to its tail.
We will advance the fist with the dog's gaze fixed on the treat, due to the linear path the dog will sit down progressively Once the dog feels we will reward him with treats, kind words and caresses, anything goes to make him feel loved!
Now we have achieved the first step, which is to make him sit down, but the most difficult stretch remains to be covered: the perseverance to relate the word to the physical interpretation. In this way we can tell our dog to feel without using theroute.
To make it comply with the order we must have patience and practice it every day, for this we are going to repeat the same process a few times incorporating the word sit before the run.
