How To Train your Dog Sit Lay down PART 3
When to start?
You can start this training when your dog is about 5~6 months old.
Before you start you must know what a chain leash can do.
When training make your you have your dog chained. Because with this chain easily control your dogs behavior and it is an easy way to let dog know hes doing something wrong.
NOTE: make sure it loosen when you do not pull if it stays tight you might choke your dog.
TRAINING TO "SIT"
There are two ways Physically and Non-Physically
The NON-PHYSICAL:
1. shape your hand as if you are holding something.
2. your dog will show interest on what you are holding and will stay to sniff
3. move your hand behind your dogs head
4. your dog will do the motion "SIT"
5. When he successfully done it say "sit"
NOTE: compliment him if you succeed.
If non-physical way dont work its time to take out the leash.
THE PHYSICAL TRAINING
1. With the leash on pull the leash upwards
2. your dog will stay
3. gently push down his bottom and make him do the motion "SIT"
4. Say "SIT"
If you read my first part of the training you will know after your dog succeed compliment him. Keep doing this constantly and give your dog some time between training so he wouldnt get bored (dogs have low concentration so dont do it so long) or worse be scared
LAY DOWN
After teaching your dog to sit its time for him to learn to lay down.
1. Say "Sit"
2. your dog will do the motion "sit"
3. pull the first legs of your dog
4. your dog will do the motion "lay down"
5. say "Lay Down" Compliment him and soon or later your dog will know what you are saying.
