How to teach your dog Sit
A default that is physically incompatible with lunging.
The steps
- 1
Hold a treat just above the nose, then move it slowly back over the head.
- 2
As the head tips up, the back end drops. Mark it and pay immediately.
- 3
Say the word only once sitting happens without the lure.
Why this helps
A dog who already knows one thing to do has somewhere to go when the street gets busy.
