Tricks 101 : sit

Let me share how Paris learn how to do a Sit. First you hold a treat on your hand and make sure your dog is in the standing position. Show it to your dog, and then gently push the treat to your dog's nose so he automatically make a sit position. Once your dog reach the sit position, quickly give him the treat and say "Good Boy!! or Good Girl"

Do this about ten or fifteen times, everytime with a treat. Do about three rounds of 10-15 sits a day and your dog will surely know how to do a sit.

It was very easy with Paris because he really really loves food. He'll do anything for food. So if your dog does not love food so much, try to teach the trick in the morning before your dog has his meal, this way he will be able to concentrate on the treat more.
