Keep her from tilting to the front by keeping 1 hand under her chin and with your other hand dangle the snack above her face.

Teach Your Indian Pariah Dog to Sit: Help Her Keep Her Balance
In her very first lesson your Indian Pariah Dog will require a surprising amount of help and support from your hand to prevent her from falling forward, but as she gets control of the stabilizing muscles and finds out what you want her to do, she’ll rely less on your hand to keep her in position. Gradually, you can give her less assistance up until you’ll simply have to leave one hand in position 2 or 3 inches from her neck or chin, to be ready to prevent her from falling forward; later on you will be able to remove your hand altogether and just simply suspend the snack right above the height of her face.

Subsequently she will get the hang of how to sustain her balance and sit up in the absence of anything to rest against.
