How to train a Boykin Spaniel to sit? If you want a well-behaved and obedient dog, why not start with the simplest method of sitting down? Let’s take a look at some methods of training a dog to sit down. I hope it can help you.

1. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; training a dog begins with sitting training. For dogs, sitting is a very basic training and the first step in basic dog training. By letting the dog learn to sit, you can increase its self-confidence and train the dog's obedience. The training method is: the dog owner holds the leash with his hand, guides the dog to the opposite side of him, then issues the "sit" command, and at the same time lifts the leash with his hand to force the dog to sit down.

2. How to train a dog to sit for a long time? The dog owner can order the dog to sit facing the owner and slowly move one to two steps away from the dog. If the dog moves when the owner moves, If you are ready to stand up, you should repeat the "sit" command to make the dog sit back in its original position.

In the early stage of training, the dog is only required to be able to sit still within 10 seconds, and the dog should be rewarded immediately. Later, the dog's sitting time should be gradually extended, and the training method of consolidation and improvement 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.

3. After the dog can successfully obey commands and perform actions in a quiet environment, you can then let the dog receive training in a complex environment to exercise the dog's ability to resist interference. In the case of complex conditions and environments, the dog's movements are easily affected by external stimuli, so forced methods must be used appropriately to make the dog gradually adapt.

4. When the dog sits down according to the command, immediately give it a snack in your hand or pet it as a reward.

Note: When the dog completes the action, don’t forget to give snacks as encouragement immediately.
