• Proper position is to have your dog’s right ear even with your knee.
• Your leash should always be loose.
• If your dog is not responding, push on her rear end, then snap up and say “sit”.

When the dog is asked to sit, she should sit immediately, by placing her rear end on the ground. The sit should be one smooth movement, with the front paws staying stationary. Paws should never move forward or backward when she is asked to sit. If the dog does not respond to the sit command, you will snap up and slightly forward (as if you were bopping yourself on the chin), repeating the command, “sit”.
