Yes, that always cracks me up. In the clicker training world, it's called "throwing behaviors".

Kalina, what you might try doing is "capturing" the behavior. As you see her sit, say "sit", then praise and treat.

Also, you don't want to accidentally reward a down when you've given a "sit" command. Things like "you're so funny" said in a nice tone of voice might be interpreted as "you're so good".
