Getting your furry friend to sit, everytime

So your dog is in basic training or maybe he's finished with basic training at this point. He appears to know how to sit on command, but sometimes when you give your dog the "sit" command and he just stands there looking at you like you are speaking a new language. Next time this happens try taking a step toward your dog. Typically this will cause them to sit down. If that doesn't work, try holding a treat just above his nose, then raise it up in the air a bit causing his nose to go up and his butt to go down. Use one word commands, like "SIT" as one word commands seem to work best. Don't forget to praise pooch when his furry behind finally hits the floor.
