The command to SIT is the first command you will be working on. Your dog will be on your left side, as if you were both waiting at a curb to cross the street. You will say your dog's name first and then the word sit. Put your leash from the left hand to the right and use your left hand and push down on the hind quarters of your dog saying good, and giving your dog a treat at the same time your dog is in the correct position. Say the word O.K. for the release command. Repeat this seven times and then give your dog short break. Do this every day for a week or more before you start the next command. If your dog does not pay attention to your command tighten up the excess of your loose leash attached to your dog and quickly jerk and immediately release it while saying the word no. You may find it easier to have your dog tired out a bit, so exercise it before practicing your commands. Also, if your dog is outside of the house it will be more cooperative. Feed your dog after the lesson not before you begin, and it will respond quicker for you. Say your command word once only followed by the word good or no depending on the action of the dog. If your dog responds positively, then lengthen the time you have him in the position by seconds each time. If your dog does not do what you asked, say the word no with a quick jerk and release with the leash and repeat the command word. If again your dog does not respond give a stronger tug and release of the the leash with the word no and put him in the correct position. Repeat the procedure.
