The first training for dogs is usually sitting. Sitting down is the starting point of all movements in the future. At ordinary times, it should seize the opportunity to sit down by itself, give the "sit" password in time, make it think that it sat down after listening to the password, and then praise and reward it.

< strong > Train your dog to sit down on the front: < /strong > Hold the dog's leash 20cm away from the collar in one hand, guide it to the opposite side, and hold the food above its head in the other hand. Call the dog's name to attract attention and give the "sit" command. At this time, it will raise its head in order to get food. The dog rope can control it to jump up, so it naturally sits down. As soon as it sits down, you give it food or touch it as encouragement. The correct sitting position should be that the dog's nose is facing up to your face, the toes are facing your feet, and the tail is placed horizontally at the back.

Sitting on the side is to guide the dog to turn to your left side and stand. Give the "sit" command. Hold the dog rope 10cm away from the collar with your right hand, put your left hand on its waist, and press it gently but firmly. At the same time, gently pull the dog rope up and back with your right hand, and it can sit down. As soon as it sits down, you repeat the "sit" password and give it a food reward.

The correct posture of sitting on the side is to put your feet neatly under your body, with your toes level with your instep, and your waist should stand upright, so you can't let it lean on your legs; If it sits incorrectly or lies down, quickly pull it back to the sitting position with your right hand and repeat the password "Sit".

Through repeated training, the dog can form a conditioned response to the "sit" password.
