How do you train a dog to sit?

[t3h1]

push its ass down and say sit to it and keep repeating, treat the dog when you do it.

tell him to sit ... push his bum down then give him a treat keep repeating and eventually u wont have to push his bum down he will sit on his own good luck xx

Easy at election time. Candidates will do anything to get your vote.

Get some small treats, put the treat over the dogs head and move it back towrds the dogs tail. Hopefully the dog will be concentrating hard on that treat and in order to keep its eyes on it will have to sit. Then say SIT, give the treat to the dog and praise him with love and kisses. Repeat, repeat repeat. Remember pups have a short attention span. Making training sessions 5-10 minutes, if you notice the dog getting bored, quit and try again later. Pushing their butt on the ground, saying sit, rewarding, and praising also works, but it's better to let the dog figure out the movements for themselves, they learn faster that way.

Shephard is spot on with the answer tho I would never train a pup for half an hour, 10 mins each day tops, adults I personally wouldnt train for that time either but I work with hounds and they get fed up with constant repeatition so I think depends on breed.

We used to place a treat in front of our dogs, and as they try to approach the treat, we wagged a finger at them, yelled "sit" and then gave a bit of pressure to their butts and they soon got the idea, but then when we said "OK good dogs" (so they could approach the treat" we patted them, so they then know they are doing something right

Push down on his tushy and say "SIT" then give him a treat. It will take a while but he will get it
