Basic dog training aims to train the dog’s obedience by establishing the authority of the dog owner. We can train the dog to sit and wait so that the dog can learn to be stable and understand the meaning of stopping. Sitting is a very basic dog training exercise and the basis for many advanced exercises. Learning to sit down is also a sign of well-behavedness. Then, the dog can start to continue other movement training.

Step one:

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; training a dog begins with sitting training. For dogs, sitting is a very basic training and the first step in basic dog training. By letting the dog learn to sit, you can increase its self-confidence and train the dog's obedience. The training method is: the dog owner holds the leash with his hand, guides the dog to the opposite side of him, then issues the "sit" command, and at the same time lifts the leash with his hand to force the dog to sit down.

Second step:

How to train a dog to sit for a long time? The dog owner can order the dog to sit facing the owner and slowly move one to two steps away from the dog. If the dog stands up and wants to move when the owner moves, , the "sit" command should be repeated to make the dog sit back in its original position. At the beginning of the training, the dog is only required to remain still within 10 seconds, and the dog should be rewarded immediately. Later, the dog can be gradually extended to sit for five minutes, using consolidation and improvement training methods. While cultivating sitting delay, the distance between the dog owner and the dog should also be gradually extended, and the method of alternating from near to far and far to near should be adopted until the dog is hidden 20 meters away from the dog and the dog can still sit still.

Step Three:

After your dog can successfully obey commands and perform actions in a quiet environment, you can then train your dog in a complex environment to train your dog's ability to resist interference. In complex conditions and environments, the dog's movements are easily affected by external stimuli, so forced methods must be used appropriately to make the dog gradually adapt.

Step 4:

When the dog follows the commandAs soon as the dog sits down, give it a treat or pet it as a reward.

Editor’s tip: When your dog finishes doing the action, don’t forget to give him treats as encouragement immediately.
