Are you aspiring to teach your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Noir to sit? The talent of sitting up is easily taught to small dogs, however bigger doggies are a different story. It’s problematic for them to sustain their equilibrium.
Teach Your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Noir to Sit: Prep
Sitting is one of the most basic tricks that you should teach to your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Noir and forms the foundation for quite a few other tricks. To train a Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Noir to sit up, prepare some snacks as a reward, and set the Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Noir on her rump in a corner, so she can’t fall either backward or sideways and has very little or no space to stumble.
Teach Your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Noir to Sit: Familiarize Her With The Command
Prevent her from pitching to the front by holding your hand beneath her chin and with your other hand dangle her treat above your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Noir’s nose. Keep repeating deliberately and distinctly, “sit.” Do not force her to sit too long at any one time, but do repeat the instruction routinely and reward her often with a lot of approval and treats.
Teach Your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Noir to Sit: Help Her Stay Balanced
In her initial lesson she will require a lot of assistance from you to prevent her from tumbling forward, but as she gets more control of the balancing muscles and grasps what you want, she will depend less on your hand to keep her in position. Then you can gradually give her less support til you’ll basically have to maintain one hand in position 2 or 3 inches from her neck or chin, to be in position to stop her from falling forward; later you can most likely take away your hand completely and merely hold the reward right above the level of your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Noir’s head.
Teach Your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Noir To Sit: Remove the Help Eventually
With steady training she will sit up for a long time after you tell her to. Next she should be set against your wall, so as to provide her assistance for her back. Only after she has learned this and can keep her posture easily, rehearse with her up against chair legs, cushions or other items that offer her less and less assistance. At some point she will learn how to preserve her balance and sit without relying on anything to rest on.
Teach Your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Noir to Sit: Putting It All Together
During the course of all this training the command "sit up" will have been instilled upon her psyche by means of frequent repetition. Lastly comes the final lesson to teach your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Noir to sit up as soon as she hears the command. There's a great chance, if she has been properly taught, you will simply have to get her out in the room, show her a snack, hold it up a suitable distance from the ground, say "sit up or sit" and she'll do so. Then give her the treat while still in place.
The only requirement for excellence is to train with her several times a day until she sits up when told and without being shown a treat; give her the rewards only after she has adhered to the order.
Teach Your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Noir Other Tricks
You have now the foundation for teaching your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Noir many other tricks. She now can be taught how to beg by moving your hand up and down just in front of her paws, which she will move in sync with yours. She can also be taught to salute by bringing one paw to the side of her head, or to hold a toy in her mouth, or to wear a cap on her head or wear other clothes.
While instructing a Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Noir to accept being dressed up, do not try to make her wear too many clothes at one time. Try her at first with just a hat. Once she becomes accustomed to that you could put on a coat and gradually over time introduce her to more clothes.
