Teach Your Dog "Sit"

Teaching your dog to sit is a very important command for your dog to learn and fortunately, a very easy one. to teach.  Start with a small piece of meat or cheese, pea sized is plenty.  Then, make sure your dog can smell or see the treat.  Once you have their attention, keep the treat firmly in your grasp and close to their nose and slowly lift your hand up and over the dog's nose towards the back of their head. 

As the dog lifts their nose to follow your hand, they will automatically lower their back legs into a sitting position.  As soon as they do, praise them and give them the treat.  Continue this and gradually your dog will learn how to sit!  Remember, with any task you teach your dog, practice makes perfect.
