It also leads to behaviors like 'rollover' and 'crawl'.Some dogs likely are what would, in humans, be called obstinate. But they can be easily distracted, or fail to associate today's case of 'come' with yesterday's action and subsequent reward. Hold off on food treats until you really need them.Lets get one thing carved in stone right away - Dogs are not hairy fluffy kids.With a treat or toy, face the dog and place it above his head and slightly behind the forehead, but still visible. When you see it give a unique voice command and hand gesture pair.As a result, it can be frustrating to repeat the same command over and over, only to have the dog apparently ignore you. Praise the dog lavishly.If the dog backs up do the technique near the couch or a fence where he has nowhere to go.It also has practical benefits.Dog Training - Sit Command - Few behaviors are as fundamentally important as 'sit'. Fortunately, almost every dog can learn 'sit' quickly. Every behavior should be associated with a unique hand gesture that you don't otherwise use. So, here's how NOT to train your dog:- Forget that your dog has a nature unlike yours.When the dog is in position, praise lavishly even though you executed the movement not the dog.Dogs, like humans, much more readily follow those they trust than those they fear. It's totally counter-productive and won't help anyway. Be patient, clear and consistent. It seems it should be obvious - they've done the action with success many times before - but today they are just 'being obstinate'.At first the dog will have no idea why it's being praised but it doesn't matter as with repetition the behavior will follow the command. Associate a unique hand signal and tone with the command.Repetition, consistency (reward only for the proper action), and enthusiasm will quickly lead to learning the 'sit'..Dog Training - Down Command - Dogs have a natural inclination to adhere to a hierarchy with an alpha (leader) at the top.Part of that patience means keeping your temper when you would like to lash out physically. As important is what he is not doing! In a sit dogs can't chase cats, knock over furniture, run into the street. When a dog is 'down' it can't knock over furniture or children. Follow those futile techniques and you'll harvest the pay back of a neurotic dog and you will be an unhappy owner. Talk to them like they were a human child. For the slow learner or assertive dog, it may be necessary to use a collar and short leash - two to four feet is best - 'Sit' the dog and kneel down facing him. The latter they do only when they have no choice.Make the hand gesture, issue the voice command and move a treat or toy from the dog's chin to the ground while pulling gently on the leash. Try to be away from other voices. Praise and reward anyway, even though you had to 'force' the sit. They will usually just endure the punishment without learning anything. Don't be harsh, but don't give up easily either. But a nearly equal number will underestimate the time, skill and elbow grease it takes to do it as it needs to be done - Especially if they are a new dog owner and have bought a high energy breed when they should have gone for a lower energy submissive type.
