How to train your dog to sit

1. Stand in front of your dog.
   
2. Hold a treat right near your pet’s nose, just out of his or her reach.
   
3. Slowly move the treat over your pup’s head and toward his or her tail.
   
4. Say your dog’s name, and give the command “Sit”, and use a hand gesture with your free hand.
   
5. Keep the treat at nose level. If the treat is held too high, the dog will jump.
   
6. Say the word “good” at the exact second the dog sits.
   
7. Praise abundantly and give your pet a treat for any movement that resembles the sit position.
   
8. Repeat a few times.
   
9. ALWAYS FINISH TRAINING ON A POSITIVE NOTE!
