Steps to train your dog to sit
2
Your new puppy may be all licks and cuddles
at present, it takes effort to convert that
bundle of love into a dog. You'll need to train
it, providing it the tools required to
effectively intermingle with people and other
animals all through its life. Here we provide the
different steps to train your dog to sit.
3
Step 1
Choose the perfect time to train your dog
to sit. One of the perfect moment is when your
puppy is hungry or right before it's normal meal
time.
4
Step 2
Keep the dog's food in your hand and close
your hand.
5
Step 3
Bring your closed hand down for the puppy
to smell. This will get your puppy interested in
what you have.
6
Step 4
While doing this ensure that your puppy is
fully standing. Hold a treat few inches about
their head so they look upward. Use your other
hand to gently push the puppy's rear to encourage
sitting.
7
Step 5
Now, use the puppy's name followed by the
word 'sit'. Say it gently, do not shout.

Step 6
The puppy won't sit the first time itself,
this will take time. Repeat the command a couple
of times until the puppy follows. If the puppy is
having any difficulties, use your free hand to
push the rear of the puppy and encourage sitting.

Step 7
Once the puppy sits, give your puppy the
food which is inside your hand and a pat on the
head would also encourage him.
10
Step 8
Repeat this training throughout the day
until the puppy gets quicker in sitting and
understanding your command. Eventually you won't
have to carry any food in your hand for making
your puppy sit. This trick can be used for
teaching your dog other things like shaking his
hands, standing in two legs, etc.
