Chewy editorial team provided an educational video to help guide pet parents through one of the most fundamental dog training skills: teaching your dog to sit.
Mastering the “sit” command not only establishes a foundation for future training but also helps manage your dog’s impulses in everyday situations - from greeting guests to waiting calmly during errands.
Whether you are training a playful puppy or working with a senior dog, the key ingredients are patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement.
A quiet space, some tasty treats (or another reward your dog loves), and about 15 - 20 minutes a day is all it takes to begin seeing progress.
Avoiding frustration is just as important as practicing the skill itself.
Training sessions should always feel upbeat and rewarding for your pup, not overwhelming or punitive.
Keep your sessions short, avoid physical corrections, and do not rush the process - every dog learns at their own pace.
Whether you are using hand signals, verbal cues, or clicker training, the ultimate goal is a happy, well mannered dog and a stronger bond between you.
