Want a well-mannered dog? Start with SIT!

Sit isn’t just obedience—it’s the start of impulse control, focus, and polite behavior.

Quick How-To:

• Lure with a treat up & back. Mark “Good!” or "Yes!" when the butt hits the ground.

• Add the cue once they get the motion.

• Fade the lure—no bribes here!

• Use a leash + flat collar if needed: gentle upward/back pressure helps guide them.

• Sit = implied stay. They don’t move till you release!

• Practice before meals, walks, doors—anywhere!

Pro Tip: Say the cue once. Let them think before helping.

📌 Dog Training Tip: The Power of Consistency!

Dogs thrive on routine and clear expectations. If you want your pup to learn quickly, make sure everyone in the household is using the same commands and rules.

✅ Use the same words for each command (e.g., always say “Off” instead of sometimes saying “Down”).

✅ Reward good behavior immediately so your dog makes the right connection.

✅ Set clear boundaries—if the couch is off-limits, it’s off-limits every time!

🐾 Training Tip: Slow Down to Speed Up! 🐶✨

When teaching your dog new skills, it’s tempting to rush the process—but going too fast can lead to frustration (for both of you!). Instead, break training into small, achievable steps to build confidence and long-term success.

Here’s how to slow down the right way:

✅ Lower Distractions First – Start in a quiet space before adding distractions like other dogs, people, or busy environments.

✅ Short & Sweet Sessions – Keep training sessions 5-10 minutes long to avoid mental fatigue. Quality over quantity!

✅ Reward the Small Wins – Mark and reward tiny improvements, like a half-second of eye contact or a moment of loose leash walking. Small successes add up!

✅ Use a Clear Progression – If your dog struggles, take a step back. For example, if recall fails at the park, practice in the backyard before trying again in a busier spot.

✅ Patience Pays Off – Training is a marathon, not a sprint! The more positive and consistent you are, the faster your dog will improve in the long run.

By slowing down, you’ll actually speed up your dog’s learning—making training smoother, more enjoyable, and more reliable! 🏆🐕
