Teaching your dog to sit with a leash

The following are tips on how to train your dog to sit using a gentle leader leash.

Stand to the side of your dog.

With the other hand, reach around and cup your dog’s chin.

1. Pull the lead forward so that his/her nose is pointed skyward. As the tip goes up, the head naturally goes up and the body lowers.

2. As you dog starts to sit, say "Sit" in a soft voice.

3. Praise the dog by saying "GOOD Sit"


Later this week we will go over some basic tips on how to make your dog stay on command.
