To me, the direction of the hand gesture means stand up.

[@masterg6521]

Wow, just tried this with my dog and it worked. Thank you very much!

[@americankennelclub]

No problem. We are glad it worked. Please try other tricks!

[@Screenwriting]

It looks so easy!

[@AnTran-ou2pp]

David Shaw it is depend on how your dog willing to do it

[@jannethiebaud1493]

I recently rescued a Staffy who has been badly abused for 5 years, and bred mercilessly. She has no training whatsoever, so I was looking for a suitable training for her online. I would have found this video far more helpful had you used an untrained dog, made the video longer, to help people like me train adult dogs.

[@Bellybutton19]

I need help cause I don’t give the treat until they sit but instead of sitting he just leaves to go somewhere else

[@WhereDogsThrive]

Nancy, I have a Pom that will not drop his rear. I use the food lure, slowly raise it at the nose above the head (which with all my other dogs they end up sitting) but he will step back no matter what. (Holding the lure above his head I've tried it close and a little farther from the nose) I've tried to do this with his back side closer to a wall so he can't step back thinking he might then drop his butt...he simply walks to the side. He clearly wants the lure, bends his head far back but will not drop his rear to the ground. Tried the lure into the belly technique thinking he would drop is rear but he didn't. Tried the lure slowly around close to his side hoping he might plop his rear to the side but he didn't. APPRECIATE ANY HELP!

[@bryanramirez460]

Have you tried gently putting your free hand on his rear and pushing down to help hi. Get the idea? Worth a try.

My puppy is to little to learn this tricks

[@DW-kg1rf]

Ella A My puppy is a Miniature Dachshund that is 12-weeks yesterday. He knows how to sit, but I taught him in German without a hand signal. For the smaller dogs you can began with them on a table to get their small bodies closer to yours. I'm physically disabled and use an arm crutch but started training Theo to sit on the ground. Laying down however, I'm using a taller surface.

[@laflur4995]

Ella A then what are you doing here?

[@StephanieMJ]

[@gavrilostojanovic7287]

Five them anything thats edible

[@cyriawoodward6347]

Good video for sit. Professionally I would suggest that an owner never use the animals name before a command. This can confuse them. Hands signs are key.

[@larryness753]

at what is the best age to start training a dog,

[@stephaniesmith5250]

Larry Ness Whenever you get the dog! As early as possible.

[@daviddunlop2045]

Help! My dog just walks backwards! :D

[@nathanmanaog2855]

David Dunlop Put the treat high above the head

[@jasoncooperpcola]

My dog will not sit when a treat is over his head.
