Sitting is easy AND fun!! And I KNOW Higgins will learn it because the more hyper the dog, the easier he will be to teach.
Here are the instructions for "SIT."
Have a ton of treats handy that Higgins loves. Let him know you have one in your hand.
Move the treat upwards and backwards over Higgins' head, keeping it close to his nose. Move the treat backwards between his eyes only an inch above his head, saying "SIT."
As Higgins lifts his head to follow the food, he will sit down. The second his butt his the ground, give him his reward!
The reason why this method works is it's impossible for dogs to look directly upwards without sitting down because of the way their spine is structured. (I learned that at puppy training school.)
