Is she treat driven? If so first teach her to look at you... show her you have the treat in your hand and bring it up to your face and ask her to "watch" you.. when she is looking at you give her the treat. I have learned that one is very good to teach the dog to pay attention to you. Then you want to use hand motions in case some day the dog loses it's hearing you can still give commands. Sit, I believe is done by bringing your arm up from the elbow as you say sit. Starting out on this one use a treat and hold it up near her forehead going back until she is sitting.. of course using the command while doing it... For laying down put her in a sit, then bring the treat down on the floor between her legs and push towards her until she lays down while smelling the treat.
it is harder then I thought to explain this with typed words, hope it was able to be understood.. or that it was even what you were looking for. LOL |
