Teach me to teach him to sit up.... I've been trying to teach Bailey to sit up... but when I hold a treat up he JUMPS to get it rather than sittting on his butt?? Any suggestions for me,, what am I doing wrong?? :confused: |
I have not taught a yorkie to "beg" or "sit pretty" but I have taught my westie. Once they have mastered "sit", I would hold the treat just high enough for them to have to raise their paws up but keep their butt on the ground. I would give the treat and praise and "click" if you use the clicker, as soon as they had the paws up. if they stood up, I would say "wrong" and start over fom the sit without giving the treat. Hope that helps! |
Try closing your hand into a fist(with the treat in it) so Bailey can't get the treat. Put the hand in front of Bailey face. He will try his best to get at the treat. Say "Sit" and Slowly raise you hand above head so his head is going up. You might have to use your other hand and gently push his butt down. As soon as he sits, open your fist so he can get the treat. I usually sitting on the floor when I teach the "sit" command. That way, I'm not leaning toward the puppy. |
