One of the most important lessons your puppy or dog should learn is that he/she must sit before interacting with you or any other human. You can easily teach a puppy or even a mature dog to sit. Dogs learn at any age, as long as lessons are repeated often enough and teaching sessions are short and fun.

Step 1:

• To begin, take a very special food treat like a peice of their kibble, and hold it between the two fingers of your hand.
• Place this hand close to the front of your pet's nose.

Step 2:

• Raise the hand above his nose and then backwards. Your pet's head will move to follow the treat.
• Eventually, your dog will sit, because it will be more comfortable

Step 3:

• As soon as he/she does, say "sit" and give your pet his/her treat.
• As a dog always connects what he is doing with what you are doing at the same time, they'll associate the action of sitting with the word "sit" and a reward- at this stage, the food treat.

Step 4:

• Repeat this action over and over. Repetition is key.
• Over time give less and less kibble and replace with love. Hugs or kisses will do
• Eventually, you will need no treat to have your dog "sit"
