Sit Happens — The Power of Starting Simple

Intro:

Welcome to The Weekly Wag — your new go-to guide for raising a confident, well-behaved pup. Every week, we’ll drop real tips, no fluff, straight from the leash-and-learn trenches. Whether you’re wrangling a wild floof or fine-tuning a future service dog, this series is here to make training simple, effective, and bonding-focused.

This week, we’re talking about a command that’s small but mighty: "Sit."

Why ‘Sit’ Matters More Than You Think:

Teaching your puppy to sit isn’t just about obedience — it’s about focus, trust, and the beginning of your communication system. “Sit” creates a calm moment in the chaos. It’s like the handshake of the dog world — a respectful intro to more advanced commands.

Quick & Effective Sit Training (No Drama Needed):

Here’s a simple process to make it stick:

  1. Use their name with a warm tone and make sure you have their eyes. Distractions are the enemy in early training.
  2. Hold a treat just above their nose and slowly move it back toward their ears. Their butt should naturally go down. As soon as it does…
  3. Say “Sit” right as they start to lower, not after. This links the word to the action.
  4. Treat immediately and use an upbeat voice: “Yes! Good sit!” (No monotone robot praise — dogs vibe with your energy.)
  5. Short sessions beat long marathons. End on a win and give them a break.

Bonus Tips:

  • Be consistent — use the same word and hand signal every time.
  • Practice in different rooms and eventually outside with distractions.
  • Don’t force their rear down — let them figure it out and reward the success.

    Common Mistakes to Avoid:
  • It should be one clear command, not background noise.
  • Training is about learning, not discipline.
  • Your mood sets the tone. If you’re annoyed, wait until you’re not.

The Takeaway:

Mastering “sit” is like laying the first brick in a house — it’s not flashy, but it’s essential. Once your pup understands this one, the rest comes easier. Trust the process, keep it fun, and stay consistent. You’re building a bond, not just a robot.
