Training a Husky puppy to learn to "sit" is an important part of the Husky's daily basic training, and it is also the basis for mastering other skills in the future. If the Husky cannot learn to "sit down", then future "walking" training and "down" training will be impossible. Below I will introduce to you how to train a Husky to learn to "sit".

1. Training purpose

I hope that the Husky can quickly and accurately perform the "sit" action according to the owner's command. That is, the Husky's buttocks are on the ground, with the hind legs pressed underneath, while the front legs and body are straightened.

2. Training passwords

"sit".

3. Training gestures

Front-facing sitting gesture: "Front-facing sitting" means extending the right upper arm to the side, the forearm upward, and the palm facing forward into an "L" position.

Sitting on the left side gesture: tap the left thigh with your left hand.

IV. Training methods and steps

Step 1: Establish the Husky’s basic conditioned reflexes for commands and gestures

1. The training method of "sitting on the left side" is: the dog owner first asks the Husky to stand on the left side, then gives the "sit" command, and at the same time lifts the collar with the right hand and presses the waist corner with the left hand. When Xiaoha is forced to sit down under the influence of this kind of mechanical stimulation, he should be rewarded immediately. After repeated training like this many times, the dog has formed a conditioned reflex.

On this basis, the training is then combined with gestures, that is, while giving the command, make the "sit on the left" gesture to instruct the husky to sit properly. When the dog has initially formed a conditioned reflex to sit on the left, the training can be continued with the combination of walking. That is, stop and sit sideways on the way, and then follow along again, and practice this repeatedly.

2. The "front-facing sit" training method is: the dog owner holds the leash with his left hand, guides the Husky to the opposite side of him, makes a gesture with his right hand, and then issues a command, and at the same time lifts the leash with his left hand to force the dog to sit. Once the husky sits, reward him immediately. Through repeated training in this way, Huskies can form a conditioned reflex to "sit frontally".

Step Two: Train the Husky to learn to sit for long periods of time

After the husky learns to "sit on the left side" and "sit frontally", the dog mainly begins to train the husky to learn to sit for a long time. Generally, after making the Husky "sit on the left side" or "sit frontally", hold one end of the leash and slowly move one or two steps away from the Husky. If the dog shows signs of standing up and wanting to move when the owner moves, repeat the process. The "sit" command, accompanied by the stimulation of pulling the leash, makes the dog sit back in its original position.

At the beginning of the training, if the husky can not move within 10 seconds, the dog should be rewarded immediately. Later, the dog's sitting time should be gradually extended, and the method of consolidating and improving should be adopted to reach five minutes. While cultivating sitting delay, the distance between the dog owner and the dog should also be gradually extended, and the method of alternating from near to far and far to near should be adopted until the dog is hidden 20 meters away from the dog and the dog can still sit still. This is more successful.

5. Things to note when training Huskies to “sit down”

1. During the training process, the position of pressing the Husky’s waist must be accurate to achieve the training effect.

2. Be patient. Especially for some Huskies who are more easily excited, you need to be patient when cultivating a sitting delay. The requirements should not be too high each time, and the range should not be too large.

2. In the extended distance sitting and delay training, the dog owner must return to the husky every time to reward it, and cannot save trouble by calling the dog to come and reward it. At the same time, pay attention to step by step when training.
