Train Your Dog To sit

How You can train your dog to Sit when asked to. It's fairly easy to teach him. Remember Some important things
Use patience, encouragement and treats to teach your dog one of the most basic of all commands, "Sit." 

Reward your dog when done right. Rewarding can be done with Treats or even saying "Good Boy/Girl".

Be sure your dog understands a release command, such as "free" or "okay," before teaching this command.

Here are the secrets to training your Dog to sit.

Stand in front of your dog.

Hold a treat right near your pet's nose, just out of his or her reach.

Slowly move the treat over your pup's head and toward his or her tail.

Say your dog's name, and give the command "Sit."

Keep the treat at nose level. If the treat is held too high, the dog will jump. If your dog doesn't understand then Touch the lower back and push gently. 

Say the word "good boy/girl" at the exact second the dog sits.

Praise abundantly and give your pet a treat for any movement that resembles the sit position.

Release your pet from the sit position with the "release" or "free" command.

Repeat for 5-7 minutes.
