me the way i got my dog to sit is hold a piece of food in front of him (in between my frist three fingers and thumb) and when he tried to eat it i tell him to sit and at the same time move my wrist back and he sits.

@GrandPuertolasRoxs There are some breeds that are very resistant to this kind of training. They learn by positive reinforcement, and if you try to force them to do anything they shut down. This way is positive and gives the dog lots of good feelings of accomplishment and helps them bond with the owner. You start with food or toys, and as they start to get the hang of it, you take that away and reward them only with praise.

My dog is really retarded. All he does is bark and jump. I try putting his butt on the floor. Doesn’t really work. Advice?

Hum…this is just my opinion on this video: teaching your dog with prices as food or toys is not so good because they will think that they are just sitting for reciving prices and not by your voice comman is better to make a little pressure not so hard on thei back and while you do that say loud sit for they understand your voie command is the indicator fro sitting not the smell of food

This is easy but hard. I think Different breed’s train differently. I try this with my puppy, but she lays down every time.
Her mom is SOOO smart though.

Good video but I …
Good video but I believe you’re not teaching him the “sit command”. Every time you say “Yes”, it may sit – but every time you say “sit”, it won’t because it isn’t associating the command “sit” with anything, rather, it only knows the word “yes”. Other than that, the video was good.

that is how u do it but it aint that simple….because ur dog wont understand , i tought my dog by pushing his bum down lol and then repeating sit over and over then givin him a treat. It does help to put the treat over there head xx i did it less and less each time for about 3 days and then he had learnt sit. You might have to wait till they are a little older because they go bonkers when they r very young lol
