Pet.com has learned that the vast majority of puppies will resist unhappily when they are forced to sit down. A better approach is to trigger the dog's natural tendency to follow the target. When a person holds some food and puts it on the puppy's nose, it will naturally turn its head as the food moves; if the food is moved, the dog will stand up and follow the food forward. You can try this method to train your puppy to "sit down" and you will find the advantages of this method. First, find a piece of food that your puppy likes to eat and is of a suitable size. Remember, don’t choose a dog biscuit that is too hard or something that is too chewy. Because the dog may spend a lot of time chewing the prize hard, making the training progress too slow. Sit in front of the puppy and bring the food from his nose to his forehead. Don't move the food too quickly so that your puppy can't find it. Also, don’t lift the food higher than its head, otherwise the dog may try to stand up on its hind feet instead of sitting down. If the puppy wants to jump on it or pounce on the food, just follow it in your normal tone. It said: [Wrong] and took the food back quickly. If you are lucky, the puppy will naturally lean back following the food and sit down. As soon as it sits down, say "Good" to it and then give it food. Don't be discouraged if your dog doesn't sit down; some puppies will naturally back away or even stand up to get to the treat. Generally speaking, when trying to train a dog to do a certain action for the first time, if the puppy cannot do the complete set of actions, try to let it do part of the action. Take training a dog to sit down as an example. If your hind legs relax when you lift the food above its nose, you should praise it for being "good" and give it the food to continue the same training and try it every time. Let the dog's hind legs relax more. If this continues, the dog will slowly learn to sit down. Try not to lose patience, or press your puppy's back to get him to sit. The significance of this training method is to induce the puppy to learn with [rewards] rather than forcing the puppy. If you can successfully get your puppy to sit down every time, you can proceed to the next step of training. Follow the following method, and you will soon get surprising results:

1. Say "Sit down" to the puppy

2. Move the food in front of the forehead (the puppy should sit down at this time)

3. Praise it [so good]

4. Give it food. This exercise can easily be extended to the "stop in place" movement. The method is to pause for a few seconds before saying "good", or to take a step or two back. If your dog wants to stand up before saying "Good", say: "Wrong" and then do it again. If the dog stops in one place, say "Good boy" to it. And give it a prize to let it know you like it. The secret is: Don’t keep saying to the dog: [Sit, sit, sit]. Just say it once is enough. The goal of this training is that the dog will respond immediately as soon as you say the command, instead of saying it twice or three times. Only then do the action. Don't yell at the dog like the squad leader in the army. This can prevent the dog from being timid and make it feel that learning is an interesting experience.
