How To Train Your Cierny Sery To Sit

Teach Your Cierny Sery to Sit

Are you working to teach your Cierny Sery to sit? The technique of sitting up is easily taught to compact dogs, yet much larger dogs are another story. It is hard for them to sustain their equilibrium.

Teach Your Cierny Sery to Sit: Readiness

Sitting is one of the fundamental skills that you should teach to a Cierny Sery and is the ground work for several other skills. In order to train a Cierny Sery to sit up, put together some treats as a reward, and set the Cierny Sery on her backside in a corner, so she will not fall either backward or sideways and has very little or no room to stumble.

Teach Your Cierny Sery to Sit: Familiarize Her With The Words

Stop her from pitching forward by maintaining 1 hand on her chin and with the second hand hold the reward above your Cierny Sery’s nose. Keep repeating deliberately and distinctly, “sit up.” Do not force her to sit too long at any one time, however repeat the instruction often and reward her frequently with lots of adoration and snacks.

Teach Your Cierny Sery to Sit: Help Her Balance

During the beginner lesson she will require quite a bit of support from you to stop her from falling forward, but as she gains control of her stabilizing muscles and figures out what you want her to do, she will rely less upon your hand to hold her steady. Gradually, you can give your Cierny Sery less assistance until you will basically have to keep one hand in position two or three inches from her neck or chin, to be available to prevent her falling forward; later on you can probably remove your hand entirely and just simply suspend the snack right above the level of her face.

Teach Your Cierny Sery To Sit: Remove the Assistance Progressively

After frequent training your Cierny Sery will stay seated for a good while after you command her. Next she should be set against your wall, so as to give her a support for her back only. When she has grasped this and can hold her posture effortlessly, rehearse with her using chair legs, pillows or other items that offer her less and less help. In time she will figure out how to keep her equilibrium and sit without relying on something to lean against.




Teach Your Cierny Sery to Sit: Putting It All Together

During the course of all these lessons the words "sit up" will have been instilled upon her subconscious with the assistance of regular repetition. Last here's the final training to teach your Cierny Sery to sit up immediately after she hears the phrase. There's a good chance, if she has been diligently trained, you will merely have to get her out in the room, display a treat, hold it up a reasonable distance from the ground, say "sit up or sit" and she will do so. Then you'll give her the reward while still in position.

The only necessity for flawlessness is to rehearse with your Cierny Sery multiple times daily until she will sit when told and without being shown a snack; give her the treats only once she has complied with the order.

Teach Your Cierny Sery Other Tricks

You have now the groundwork for teaching your Cierny Sery many other tricks. She can now be taught to beg by waving your hand up and down in front of her paws, which she'll move in sync with yours. She can also learn to salute by bringing one paw to the side of her head, or to hold a wooden pipe in her mouth, or to wear a cap on her head or wear other clothing.

When training a Cierny Sery to tolerate being dressed up, don't try to make her wear too many clothes simultaneously. Try her at first with just a cap. Once she gets adjusted to that you can put on a jacket and eventually introduce her to the other garments.

Take pleasure in "teaching your Cierny Sery the sit up trick" and most importantly have fun while you're doing it!
