Are you working to teach your Hare Indian Dog to sit? The skill of sitting up is easily taught to pocket-sized dogs, yet much larger pooches are a different story. It is hard for them to keep their equilibrium.
Teach Your Hare Indian Dog to Sit: Foundation
Sitting up is one of the first skills that should be taught to your Hare Indian Dog and forms the groundwork for countless other tricks. In order to train a Hare Indian Dog to sit up, put together some snacks as a perk, and place the Hare Indian Dog on her rump in a corner, to make sure that she will not fall either backward or sideways and has very little or no room to stumble.
Teach Your Hare Indian Dog to Sit: Acquaint Her With The Sound of The Words
Protect her from pitching to the front by sticking your hand underneath her chin and using the second hand hold her snack above your Hare Indian Dog’s nose. Keep repeating intelligibly and clearly, “sit.” Don’t make her sit too long at any one time, but repeat the training regularly and reward her frequently with plenty of adoration and snacks.
Teach Your Hare Indian Dog to Sit: Help Her Stay Balanced
In her initial lesson she will call for significant assistance from your hand to keep her from falling forward, but as she gains control of the muscles and recognizes what you want, she’ll depend less on your hand to keep her steady. Then you can gradually give her less assistance until you will just have to maintain one hand in position 2 or 3 inches from her chin or neck, to be in position to prevent her falling forward; eventually you can most likely withdraw the hand altogether and just hold the reward right above the height of your Hare Indian Dog’s face.
Teach Your Hare Indian Dog To Sit: Remove the Aids Over Time
After frequent training your Hare Indian Dog will sit up for a long time after you get her to sit. Afterward she should be set up against the wall, so as to provide her a support for her back. When she has taken in this and can keep her place easily, rehearse with her up against chair legs, pillows or other items that offer her less and less support. Subsequently she will be trained to maintain her stability and sit up without having anything to rest against.
Teach Your Hare Indian Dog to Sit: Putting It All Together
In the course of all this training the phrase "sit up" will have been instilled upon her subconscious by regular repetition. Lastly comes the final training to teach your Hare Indian Dog to sit up whenever she hears the words. There's a good chance, if she has been properly instructed, you will merely have to call her out in the room, reveal a snack, hold it up a suitable distance from the ground, say "sit up or sit" and she will obey. Then just give her the reward while still in position.
The only condition for flawlessness is to train with her several times daily until she will sit on command and without being shown a reward; give her the snacks only once she has obeyed the direction.
Teach Your Hare Indian Dog Other Tricks
You have now the basis for teaching your Hare Indian Dog many other skills. She can now learn how to beg by waving your hand up and down in front of her paws, which she will move in rhythm with yours. She also can learn to salute by moving one paw up 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.
While teaching a Hare Indian Dog to tolerate being clothed, do not try to make her wear too many clothes simultaneously. Try at first with just a hat. Only after she becomes used to that you can put on a jacket and steadily introduce her to more garments.
