Training Your Dog to Sit
Training Your Dog to Sit
1. This first one is easy. You just start by saying “sit” every time the puppy sits itself. He
learns to associate the word sit with the action. This is a tip you can use in all training.
2. Take out his favorite treat and keep it in your hand. Sausage usually works well but remember to
cut it in small pieces so the puppy can swallow it fast.
3. Sit down on the floor so you get to the same level as the dog. You are less threatening when you
sit. More important is that you are close to the dog so you can reward him faster. More about this
soon.
4. Slowly move the treat over your puppy’s head. The intention is to get the puppy to smell the
treat (he will) and follow it with his nose. He has two options. Either back still standing or sit
down. It’s easier to sit down.
5 Immediately as he sits you say “sit” and give him the piece of sausage. This is the key factor to
all training. The reward has to be exact in the same moment as the dog does the right thing.
6. Praise the dog. Show your joy with your voice as well as with your body language.
7. Repeat these steps 3-5 times. Not more than that though, as it has to be fun! On the other hand
you can repeat the steps several times during the day.
8. In the next step you should try these steps while standing up. You can try to see if the dog
reacts only to the word “sit” without your hand and the treat. If he sits down you obviously should
praise him and if he doesn’t don’t care. You should never show your disappointment to your dog when
you are training.
This is pretty easy for the puppy. In a day or two you will get him to sit with your “sit” command.
Now you can try to make him sit down beside you. This is actually a preparation for the heel
training. There you want him to sit as soon as you stop walking. If you have thoughts about
obedience competitions with your dog you should consider the exact position where he sits and also
how fast he sits. That is however off topic in this article.
The next level is to strengthen the word so you get the dog to sit in every situation no matter
what’s going on around him. This is an ongoing process and you should never stop training. Use
every new situation to train him. Make him sit with new people, new dogs and new surroundings.
It’s quite easy to train your dog to sit. If you consider not training your dog my advice is, think
again. When you start training with your new puppy you get much more than the sitting part The
puppy loves to do things with you. He learns to listen to his name. He gets used to training and
doing things with you and on your initiative. This all together strengthen your position as the
leader, and the puppy feels secure. When the puppy falls asleep in the evening his last thoughts
should be: “This is really a great pack!”

Potty training dog
Potty training dog This aspect to me is one of the most important of all because this really does need to be done correctly most effectively when your dog is a puppy, i`ve seen a great deal of methods on how to do this correctly but i`ve also noticed how awkward it can be to instill potty training dog education in your dog hence like i say all animal`s information is memorably stored far better when your dog is young ! I`m always noted for saying in my articles how i`ve read numorus books on potty training dog method`s some are very educational some make the technique`s far more hardwork than they need to be (maybe to sell the book because the author sound`s technical who know`s!!) Potty training dog expertise can be learn`t from book`s however but the trouble is you have no contact whatever with the author to clarify your thought`s on their potty training dog method`s. The importance of using potty training dog ettiquette is not realized by owner`s how big this first building block is for establishing that that first bonding gap between you and your dog ! I`ve also seen some decent to good website`s on this subject matter although i have to say they haven`t covered everything i wanted or my main problem is some site`s are a bit stale and i`ve wanted new approache`s to from an educational stand point ! Which raise`s my discovery, during the last few week`s i searched the net for new resource`s to educate myself with potty training dog tip`s with futile success , however i came across a dog trainer from hollywood called Dove Cresswell and it was when i realized she was very highly respected with a massive CV to add to her credential`s i had just had to study her form more .Now this dog trainer is truly very naturally gifted for tutoring and commuicating with dog`s ( no i didn`t say Dove Dolittle)! She`s fresh and that`s exactly what this industry need`s , she combine`s a new outlook and new dog training method`s right across the board which are so very simple to implement ,not just potty training dog method`s but , dog obedience training , dog house training , all these method`s and execution of them by Dove in my opinion far out weigh other website`s and dog training book`s! If you are interesting in learning more about Dove Cresswell i have six site`s you can visit but for potty training dog info visit http://www.potty—training—dog.blogspot.com where can access more site`s with info onthi incredible dog trainer!

Dog training schools
Dog training schools
Like anything in life schooling in the professional sense mean`s that the standard
of any form of training would be high , so why should it be any different for dog`s !
In the past i have studied dog obedience training , dog house training, potty
training dog method`s through many dog training book`s and i have to say i have
learn`t some great tip`s and info out of them but with the internet growing like it
is this was my next port of call!
For many month`s i researched dog training school website`s but to me they
seemed like old information from other resources formatted for the net! I also found
some decent e-book`s on dog training school`s , but i hadn`t found the right
formula i wanted something refreshing , different for a dog i`d recently aquired . It
would be prime time to implement some new techniques than what i used in past
on my other dog`s !
Don`t get me wrong i have tried many dog training school`s over the year`s but
the success rate was up and down to much which wasn`t a good thing at the time
because i was after training other dog`s myself for spare cash and i wanted to learn
from the best dog trainer`s .
it wasn`t until recently i discovered a dog trainer that seemed to have all the
qualitie`s i was looking for for my own venture but the twist in the tale was the
fact that i`d found these methods taught in a new way . The young lady in question
who formulated this new concept run`s a dog training school for the new age she
goe`s by the name of Dove Cresswell she originate`s from north Hollywood and
believe me when i say she really is a force to be reckoned with in the world of dog
training schools !!
Dove really has captured my attention with her new method`s in dog training ,
which is the sole reason why i had to write this article on her to draw the public`s
attention to her dog training school and new technique`s !

When professional training is not a good option for you - either because of cost or time - there are techniques that you can use at home to train your dog to do just about anything you want him to. Here are some things to keep in mind when you are wondering how you will train your new pet:
- Determine the ground rules before you begin training. One of the common hang ups that people experience with dog training is not deciding in advance which behaviors they will or will not tolerate. For example, some people will let their new puppy nap on the sofa but decide later that they don t want dog hair on the furniture. They then need to re-train their dog that getting onto the sofa is not allowed. Make a list of the behaviors you don t want to see, and you will have a better idea of where to begin. It is always ok to reverse a behavior, but is easier for you and your dog if you set the rules at the beginning and don t change them in the middle of the game.
- Use a short leash for training purposes. Leashes come in many different lengths, some reach up to 100 feet or more. However, when you are training your dog, you should always use a leash that is around 6 foot long and comes with a loop that you can slip your hand through, wrapping it around your fingers to ensure that the dog doesn t get away from you. When your dog is on your left side, keep the leash in front of you with the loop around your right hand. This will help you to keep the leash short and to maintain control.
- Never use a training technique that is not natural and comfortable for you. If you are using a technique that does not come naturally, your dog will sense your hesitation as quickly as he will sense fear or anxiety. This can lead to your dog ignoring any commands given and cause frustration for both of you. Therefore, work to find techniques that you understand and feel comfortable with before starting to train your dog.
- Be kind and gentle for best results. An owner who constantly punishes his or her dog for bad behaviors is bound to be a lot less successful than an owner who is gentle and kind, rewarding his or her dog for acceptable behaviors. Consider offering your dog plenty of praise, and be gentle when redirecting his attention from a bad behavior to one that is more acceptable to you.
- See yourself as the team leader during training. You are not the only one responsible for successful training sessions. If you see yourself and your dog as a team in training, you will be much more successful than if you assume the burden of all responsibility. You need to be aware of everything that goes on during training, because you are the leader. However, realize that your dog must be a willing participant for training to succeed.
- Train your dog to stop barking unnecessarily. When your dog is outside, does he bark continuously at everything that moves? If you want to stop this behavior, consider a bark-control collar. This handy device issues tones for both approval and disapproval from a special collar that can be controlled from a distance. You will find that the feedback mechanism will quickly help your dog to become independent enough to be left alone outside without constant supervision.
When you are consistent and fair with your dog, you will find that it is possible to train him to do just about anything you would like. As you see from the information above, there are small tricks that you can use to make training easier and more fun for you and your dog.
Don t forget to limit your training to short periods, taking time in between to play and just relax together. And, the most important thing you can do is to reward your dog for a job well done!
