Here's good instructions on sitting pretty-

Jackson has terrible balance so we're still learning this one!

He kind of taught himself how to dance... he started going up on his hind legs to greet me so I would shake my hands and say "dance!" and he quickly understood what that meant. That was our easiest trick. To teach it, I would try to lure him up into a stand position by holding the food at a level where he can't reach it. The second he does it say "good, dance!" and give him a treat.

Dance is on this site too http://animal.discovery.com/videos/s...ol-dog-tricks/ - kind of a funny one!
