How to train a Wirehaired Pointer Griffon to sit? For some basic movements, let’s first talk about some basic training movements, because these movements are the basis of many trainings, so they are very important.

This training program is a foundation for cultivating all other abilities and is an important part of the obedience subject. Sitting can be divided into two types: sitting on the front and sitting on the left side. The standard posture is that the forelimbs are vertical, the hind limbs are bent, the hock joints touch the ground, the head is naturally raised, and the tail is naturally stretched flat on the ground. The password for this training is naturally "sit", and the main training methods are:

1. Induction method: The owner can hold the dog’s favorite toys or rewarded food in his right hand to arouse the dog’s interest, attract their attention, and attract them to him. Wait until the dog After the dog's attention is fully concentrated, give the command "sit", and at the same time slowly place your right hand on the dog's head. When the dog looks up, affected by its own gravity and posture reflex, the dog will Dog completes sitting position. At this time, the breeder should immediately give the dog a certain food reward, so that after several more trainings, the dog will form a conditioned reflex to sit frontally.

2. Induction combined with mechanical stimulation: This requires us to use a traction rope. The general method is similar, except that if the dog does not sit down automatically, we may need a little external force to make them sit down, lift the traction rope with the left hand or press The dog's waist forces the dog to sit down, and the dog is rewarded in time after sitting down. After repeated training like this several times, the dog will complete the corresponding action after hearing the command.

Training method of sitting on the left side

The owner first brings the dog to the left side and stands there, holding the collar with his right hand and placing his left hand on the dog’s waist. While giving the command “sit”, he lifts his right hand up and presses down with his left hand. The dog will be forced to complete the sitting position under such stimulation. When the dog completes the command, it should be rewarded in time. When training, please note that the size of the inducer should not be too large, as long as it can be held. The direction of force pressing the dog's waist is vertically downward.
