What Happens When You Tell Your Dog “Sit”?
What Happens When You Tell Your Dog “Sit”?
I will bet for many of you your dog will sit …
- If he has nothing better to do.
- If you have a treat in your hand and he is hungry.
- If he his already paying attention to you.
- If he is in a controlled environment.
What happens after the sit command?
Does your dog remain in the sit position until you release him?
If you are like most people, the answer is no.
Your dog very possibly may sit if the “conditions are right”. But as soon as he wants, he breaks the command and goes back to doing what he wants. And you let him.
Don’t feel bad.
If you fit in this category, you are probably one of millions that do not have true control over your dog.
And … you are not your dog’s true leader. Think about that. If you were, he would stay in the command until you release him.
Ever wonder why he doesn’t listen to you?
- He doesn’t think you mean it.
- He doesn’t think you will make him.
- He doesn’t think you can make him do it.
Stay tuned and we will teach your dog to remain in the sit command until you release him … because you are the leader.
