Methods to train your dog to sit down

1. Food induction

When training your dog, you can use snacks as a guide. Because dogs like to eat, especially small snacks. Through the induction of food, the dog can concentrate and quickly respond to the owner's instructions. This method is very suitable for those who are not familiar with the dog. Owners can use food to bring them closer together.

2. Verbal guidance

You can usually observe the dog's behavior. When you find that the dog is about to sit down, you can add a command to make it sit down, maybe just at the beginning. It may not react well and may be frightened, but if you try and practice it several times, your dog's brain will naturally combine this language with the action of sitting down.

3. Body movements

During training, in addition to using language for guidance, it must also be implemented in conjunction with the movements. When giving verbal instructions, you can press lightly with your palms facing down. The dog's head will feel an invisible sense of pressure. Over time, when this action occurs, the dog will form a corresponding intention and sit down.

4. Appropriate rewards

No matter what the training results are, the dog must be given appropriate rewards, because with some small rewards, the dog can be enthusiastic about training. You will also remember your training results.
