Sit Stay Fetch - Effortless Ways To Train Your Dog
Some people think that dogs will sit stay fetch or do any other simple command that they are given. The problem is that people are the ones who think that these tasks are simple things that dogs just know how to do, but no one ever told the dogs that. Read on so you can learn how to teach your puppy, or even an older dog, a few basic instructions.
It can be funny to see new owners sitting with their puppies saying sit, please sit, oh you can do it sit. The thing is that puppies do not know what sit means unless you show them. This is something you will learn in dog training for dummies. You need to keep in mind that dogs used to live in packs and still have the instinct that a dog needs to be in charge, you need to make yourself the one in charge to teach them sit stay fetch.
You have to make eye contact with your puppy when you are teaching them to sit. Make sure you start from the standing position, put your hand on his or her bottom and push down softly while saying sit. If this is not working, you can put your hand behind their back legs and push in gently while saying sit. Don’t give up they will get it, when they do lavish them with praise and keep repeating it, sit stay fetch will be easier after this.
Teaching your puppy to stay is somewhat harder than sit, they really do love to follow you all over the place and getting them to stay can be difficult. Start with them sitting down and put you hand in front of their nose, take one step back while saying stay, keep your hand up the whole time. If they stay take another step. Praise them lavishly when they do this. Keep taking more and more steps back and keep your hand out. It takes time but sit stay fetch will get easier.
Fetch is the hardest of sit stay fetch depending on what kind of dog you have, some dogs are naturally good at fetching others will never do it. The best thing to do in this case is throw their favorite ball and see if they bring it back if not you need to work on it. I found that having another dog that already knows how to fetch show them works great, just play with the other dog and praise them when they do it and your dog will want that praise too. Remember just because you know what sit stay fetch means doesn’t mean your dog does.
