| Pround mama My baby learned to sit on command today. It took her about 5 tries. Then I tried a new command after she was already sitting, "say hi" and she barks one time. So first time training went quite well. I was soooo excited when she sat down without seeing the treat.

| Aww, how cool is that?! How did you do it? I have been trying to teach my boy to sit, but he just looks at me like I have 2 heads. I'd really like him to learn some basic tricks/commands, but I can't figure out how to make that communication connection. |

| Or in the english language its Proud lol I've been watching Its me or the dog and Underdog to wonderdog (i think is the name) and I noticed that they do it with constant treats. I used regular food. I would put the treat somewhat over her head and slowly move my hand back so she would have to tilt her head up and eventually sit. While doing so I would repeat the command. Each time she gets a kibble. After a while I wouldn't have to hold it over her head, she would just have to see it. And then after some more time she would do it without seeking the treat. It seriously was the cutest thing when she sat down when I asked. Good luck, I can't wait for Chanel to learn more things. On the Wonderdog show I saw the lady teach the pup how to take a bow. It was the CUTEST.

| Wow, good job. Now I'm inspired to teach Scooter to sit up.
