hello dog lovers my name is Saro and me and Harvey are going to teach you how
to get your dog to sit on command without the use of treat tools force or
domination
hello dog lovers in this video I'm going to teach you how to get your dog to sit
on command without the use of any treats tools force or domination so I have
Harvey today Harvey is my dog and we're going to demonstrate and teach you how
to get this command done but before we get to that let me explain that before
you teach any command to your dog before you get into training your dog you need
to provide a decent amount of exercise for your dog what that means is you
don't want to get your dog too tired or you don't want to just start training
your dog without having any exercise so you want to provide a decent amount of
exercise I would say maximum half an hour of walking or exercising your claim
that should be enough you don't want your dog to be mentally and physically
tired that you can't implement information to your dog so you want your dog to be
nice and relaxed when you're teaching your dog something so that's rule number
one the other thing that I want you to also
remember is few weeks ago I posted a video that I talked about how to bond
with your dog you can also watch the video that I'm going to put the link in
this video you can watch that video and then come back to this during or after
you have done your bonding with your dog which is about 15 minutes that you're
kind of hanging out with your dog after that you can start training your dog as
well this is something that many many dog
owners have asked me how do you train a dog without treats how do you teach a
dog a command so me and Harvey are going to demonstrate today
so the only tools that we're going to be using is a leash I prefer to use a six
foot leash could be four foot leash as well a leash and Harvey is wearing a
collar and also he wears a harness so we can use either of those either the color
or the harness but the other rule is that if you're going to train your dog
if you're going to teach something to your dog you need to have your dog on
leash you can't start training your dog off leash you have to start first
teaching your dog what you want the dog to learn and once the dog learns then
you practice it first I'm going to teach you a how you're going to teach the
command to your dog so first you're going to put the dog on leash and then
we're going to start the training process so Harvey's in standing position
so the first thing that I'm going to do I'm going to ask Harvey to do something
that I want him to do so I'm going to tell him to sit so if he does good if it
doesn't then I'll teach you how you get the dog to sit so in this case I know
Harvey is going to sit if I tell him to say but I'm gonna pretend and we're
going to pretend that I've told him to sit and he's not sitting so what I'm
gonna tell him is Rover sit and Rover is not sitting I'm gonna say Harvey NO
there's the cue for not sitting no so he said and I praise you good boy yeah good
boy so now we're going to try a different
method or different way of teaching this command to Harvey so now Harvey is in
stand position I want him to sit so what I'm going to do I'm going to say Harvey
Sit if it doesn't I'll pull the leash up put the bum down good boy yes that's it
with the leash you can teach your dog what you want it to do your simple sit
so with the leash if I tell him to sit and if he doesn't sit I'll I have to do is pull
the leash a little bit off put the bum down and then prays him for sitting this
is just a teaching process the training process so here we go one more time Harvey sit
Harvey knows how to sit so he said when I tell him to sit so good boy
yes but I'm just going to pretend that he doesn't know how to sit so you can
teach your dog who doesn't know how to say how to say so I'm going to pretend
that I've given him the command of sit and Harvey is not sitting so I'm going
to say no and if it doesn't sit I'm going to pull the leash up I'm gonna put
the bum down I'm going to praise it good oh yeah all right so this is the
training process that's easy after you've taught your dog to sit now
it's time to practice this command so Harvey come on now we're
practicing so he gets to play with the toy or something that he likes so now we
taught him he knows what sit is and we're gonna practice the sit command Harvey
over here as I said before he gets a toy and you get to pay with it
good boy alright so that's how easy it is first
you teach your dog what you want it to do and then you practice it with a play
play and praise reward training system plus I'm going to also include some
additional video at the end of this video that me and Harvey are playing
the fetch game that I practice with him the sit stay come and all that but I'm
going to give you a teaser of how I practice all these commands using play
with Harvey yes yes yes good boy
so remember once you teach your dog the command itself once you've gone through
about hundred Harvey wait let me explain once you've gone through hundreds of
repetitions of teaching your dog how to sit it's time to practice it so we're
going to practice using play all dogs love to play so Harvey is sitting I am going to
rewarded him with play he loves to play he loves to play Harvey sit go get it yes
that's it
The other form of play is Harvey is in stay command and I go and I set the ball somewhere
he can't move until I give the release command which is Harvey go get it.
