| Sit :) Whoohoo! So we started command training this past Monday. Matthias has mastered 'Sit'. He does a small jump, then he sits properly with all four paws planted on the floor. He is sooo good at it! This Monday we will work on 'Stay'. I'm gonna have the hubby take video of me and Matthias practicing 'sit'.

| Way to go getting Matthias to sit!!! That's a great idea to have your hubby videotape Then you get to see all the neat stages he goes through What I did to get Raisin to sit was use the clicker, otherwise she was not getting it at all... I raised a treat above her head (i was sitting on the floor), and at first put slight pressure on her backside and as soon as her bottom hit the floor I clicked and treated... took a couple of tries but then she soon got the hang of it. I was amazed because before then I don't think she'd ever sat down she's so squirmy... same thing with the lie down command... she didn't know what the heck i was talking about, at first I tried to just do the click and treat if she just went down a little bit, but that didn't work, so I had to take the treat to the ground right in front of her so she bent down a little bit, then I took her front legs and stretched them out in front of her (gently of course ). As soon as she was in the down position I clicked and treated, she had that within a few times, then I said "down" while clicking after that then I've tried to associate a hand signal with it... I don't know if that helps, but so far it is working for me Somehow I don't think the stay command will be so successful she still doesn't sit still for very long. |
