Instruction
1. Prepare a treat. It is obligatory due to be food which the puppy will eat with great pleasure and will definitely not refuse it. Take a tidbit in a hand and make so that the dog understood that you for it have something seductive. Pay attention that much for once you should not give. Your task is to develop a reflex. And for this purpose it is not obligatory for puppy to feed the whole bowl at all, it is enough to designate the fact of receiving a reward only.
2. Get up near a puppy and accurately say the Sit team. Then raise a hand and move it so that the puppy had to lift up the head. An optimum trajectory – from a starting point to the middle of a forehead of a dog. A puppy, trying to track your movement, will begin to raise eyes up, but as it is not really convenient, once, will sit down. Here it is possible to praise it, to give a treat and to fray behind an ear. Remember that the scheme always has to be such: at first team, then performance, then treat. Any deviations will only remove you back. The animal cannot understand what you want from it if every time receives an award after performance of different actions. Who knows, maybe, the owner wants that before him were twisted and licked a hand?

After you achieve obedience for a treat, it is possible gradually to accustom the kid to execute the command without it. Certainly, it is necessary to encourage it all the same that the reflex continued to receive a positive reinforcement. Over time the dog will understand that the owner needs command execution anyway and will do it, without looking at anything.
