Fido should sit and remain seated in all of

these situations below and remain sitting

until you give a verbal or visual signal that

he can get up. So for instance, when he

sits for you to open the door, he should

remain seated even with the door wide

open until you tell him he can go through.

The goal is to teach Fido that the door

only opens when he sits. As soon as he

stands without your permission, the door

closes. This will be very important for the

last stage of training.

• To go through doorways and gates,

especially when guests come to

the door.

• To get out of his crate.

• To have his toy tossed.

• To receive treats or meals.

• To get his leash on when he goes

for a walk.

• To get out of the car.

• To greet people.

To gain potential access to dropped food and other things you ask him to “leave it”

(leave-it exercise).

TIP: To see video on how sit is trained in some of these other situations, watch

the DVD Chapter 6. For the last stages of the Treat&Train™ system program,

training the leave-it exercises will be important.

For more information about how these automatic sit exercises are incorporated

6.6 Troubleshooting

If after a day or two you don’t see a dramatic change in behavior here’s what

might be going wrong:

• Your timing is off and you don’t get the treat to your dog quickly enough or

while he’s still sitting. Fido should be in the sitting position when you give him

the treat.

• You don’t give enough sequential treats for sitting and remaining seated.

Dogs that jump a lot need lots of treats for remaining seated.

• You or other family members are inconsistent. Sometimes you require Fido to

sit to earn privileges such as getting his leash on or getting attention. Other

times you don’t.

• You don’t wait long enough for Fido to sit. You may have to wait a minute at

first for dogs who are comfortable waiting in a standing position or don’t like

to sit much. Hold completely still until the dog realizes nothing is happening.

Wait until he chooses to walk up to you and sits with his attention focused on

you. Some dogs need for you to lure them to sit the first 5-10 times.

• You don’t stand silent and stationary while you wait for Fido to sit. Rather you

move your arms around, try to bribe or lure Fido by waving the treat, grab the

leash with your hands, or physically take one or more steps. Every time you

make a movement, you create a stimulus and it takes longer for Fido to learn

that nothing happens until he sits politely.

• Your body language confuses Fido. You may be leaning over him as he stands,

so it’s not clear to him that he is being ignored, or you feed the treat in such a

way that you cause him to stand.

• Your dog is not motivated by the reinforcer you’re using. For instance, don’t

require your dog to sit to go through the back door if he has no desire to go

out the back door.

• It’s easy for your dog to ignore you because he finds other rewards such as

running away to play with his toy. Use a handsfree leash, or attach the leash

to your waist, if your dog does this.
