Ronnia getting the hang of 'sit'

So today I want to work mainly on the sit hand signal. We start the session refreshing the come command and Ronnia slips straight back into training mode. After a few positive responses to come we start on working towards perfecting the sit.

The sit hand signal takes plenty of patience as Ronnia’s natural response to seeing the treat is to jump up and try and get it out of my hand, moving away just doesn’t make sense to her! We get there eventually and once she realises that placing her bottom on the floor is the guaranteed way to receive to the treat she’s cracked it and repeats it over and over.

I decide to leave it there for today, it’s important to finish training sessions on a positive note and to keep the dog interested.
