It's one of those funny things that it seems like everyone should know, but if it's the first time......
"Sit" is really very easy. Just do what Sadie's Mom said. Hold the treat RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR NOSE so they can smell it but not get it. As you move the treat back and only slightly up, to follow the treat, they have no choice but to get in the sit position. Say "Sit" and then "Good Violet" and give loads of praise. Then do it again. You'll be amazed at how quickly they get that. Before the night's over, when she sees a treat, her butt will hit the floor.
Good Luck!! |
