Here's a step by step guide on how to teach your dog to sit and stay.

 

  1. You're going to need a small treat. (Check out our selection of supplement chews! Be sure to follow the correct number of dosage!)

  2. Hide the small treat in your fingers and lure your pup into a sitting position.

  3. Don't give the treat unless your pup is sitting.

  4. Once your puppy starts getting it, you can show the treat with your fingers open. Your puppy should immediately sit down once they see the treat.

  5. Start saying the word "Sit." Reward them with the treat once they sit down.
