So we have accomplished our first trick...on accident! We have been trying to teach Luma the "sit" command as her first trick, going off of what multiple books say to do:
-Hold a treat at end of nose
-Move treat over his head
-When he sits, click and say "Yes!"
-give treat

However..Luma is NOT havin' it! She freaks out over treats since we do not give them to her often, maybe she's too young to learn commands yet? She's 15 weeks.

But she DOES know one trick..

Since the day I first saw her, when I held her she licked me on the lippies. Now, all I have to say is "kiss" and she'll do it. Before I would make puckering noises and she'd get it, now just the word "kiss" works! That's kinda a trick...right?

Any tips on how to make her learn the sit command?
And what tricks do y'alls babies know?
