Are you struggling to teach your Thai Bangkaew Dog to sit? The technique of sitting up is regularly taught to compact dogs, however bigger dogs are a different story. It’s hard for them to keep their equilibrium.
Teach Your Thai Bangkaew Dog to Sit: Planning
Sitting is one of the very first techniques that you should teach to a Thai Bangkaew Dog and is the groundwork for a number of other techniques. To train a Thai Bangkaew Dog to sit up, prepare some treats as a reward, and put your Thai Bangkaew Dog on her rump in a corner, so that she is unable to fall either aft or sideways and has very little or no room to stumble.
Teach Your Thai Bangkaew Dog to Sit: Familiarize Her With The Words
Prevent her from falling forward by keeping one hand beneath her chin and using your other hand dangle her treat above her nose. Keep saying deliberately and distinctly, “sit.” Don’t make her sit for too long at one time, but do repeat the training frequently and reward her regularly with plenty of approval and treats.
Teach Your Thai Bangkaew Dog to Sit: Help Her Maintain Balance
In her beginner lesson she will call for a surprising amount of help and support from your hand to prevent her from tumbling forward, but as she gains better control of the balancing muscles and recognizes what you want her to do, she’ll depend less on your hand to keep her steady. Gradually, you can give her less assistance till you will basically have to leave one hand in position two or three inches from her neck or chin, to be ready to stop her from falling forward; later you can most likely remove the hand entirely and just simply suspend the treat right above the level of her face.
Teach Your Thai Bangkaew Dog To Sit: Remove the Help Incrementally
After consistent training she will sit up for a good while after you tell her to. Then she should be set up against a wall, so as to provide her a support for her back only. Once she has picked up this and can hold her posture effortlessly, rehearse with her against chair legs, pillows or other objects that give her less and less help and support. Eventually she will understand how to preserve her equilibrium and sit without something to lean against.
Teach Your Thai Bangkaew Dog to Sit: Putting It All Together
During all this training the phrase "sit up" will have been impressed upon her subconscious by constant repetition. Now is the final lesson to teach your Thai Bangkaew Dog to sit up immediately after she hears the command. There's a great chance, if she has been properly instructed, you will simply have to summon her out into the room, display a treat, hold it up a reasonable distance from the floor, say "sit up or sit" and she'll do so. Then you give her the treat while still in place.
The only requirement for excellence is to rehearse with her several times daily until she sits when told and without being shown a snack; give her the rewards only once she has followed the command.
Teach Your Thai Bangkaew Dog Other Tricks
You have now the technique for teaching your Thai Bangkaew Dog many other tricks. She can now be taught how to beg by moving your hand up and down in front of her paws, which she will move in sync with yours. She also can be taught to salute by bringing one paw to the side of her head, or to keep a wooden pipe in her mouth, or to wear a hat on her head or wear other clothing.
In training a Thai Bangkaew Dog to tolerate being dressed up, do not try to get her to wear too many things at the same time. Try her at first with a cap. Soon after she gets adjusted to that you can put on a jacket and gradually over time introduce her to more garments.
Delight in "teaching your Thai Bangkaew Dog the sit up trick" and most importantly have fun at the same time!
