Are you aiming to teach your Bakharwal Dog to sit? The talent of sitting up is quickly taught to very small dogs, however much bigger dogs are a different story. It’s difficult for them to sustain their equilibrium.
Teach Your Bakharwal Dog to Sit: Anticipation
Sitting is one of the initial tricks that you should teach to a Bakharwal Dog and provides the foundation for numerous other tricks. To train a Bakharwal Dog to sit up, prep some treats as a perk, and set the Bakharwal Dog on her backside in the corner, so she is not able to fall either backward or sideways and has very little or no space to stumble.
Teach Your Bakharwal Dog to Sit: Acquaint Her With The Sound of The Words
Keep her from pitching forward by sticking one hand on her chin and using your other hand dangle the treat above the Bakharwal Dog’s nose. Keep saying distinctly and intelligibly, “sit.” Do not make her sit for too long at one time, but do repeat the instruction regularly and reward her frequently with loads of appreciation and treats.
Teach Your Bakharwal Dog to Sit: Help Her Stay Balanced
Throughout the very first lesson your Bakharwal Dog will need quite a bit of help from you to keep her from tumbling forward, but as she gets better control of the muscles and comprehends what you want her to do, she will rely less and less on your hand to keep her in position. Then you can gradually give your Bakharwal Dog less assistance till you will simply have to leave one hand in position 2 or 3 inches from her neck or chin, to be in position to prevent her from falling forward; eventually you may withdraw this hand altogether and merely hold the reward just above the level of your Bakharwal Dog’s face.
Teach Your Bakharwal Dog To Sit: Remove the Assistance Over Time
After steady training your Bakharwal Dog will stay seated for a long time after you get her to sit. The next step is she should be set up against the wall, so as to give her a support for her back. When she has understood this and can maintain her posture easily, practice with her against chair legs, pillows or other things that provide her less and less assistance. At some point she will be able to keep her stability and sit up without relying on anything to rest against.
Teach Your Bakharwal Dog to Sit: Putting It All Together
During the course of all these lessons the command "sit up" will have been impressed upon her mind by means of frequent repetition. Now here's the final training to teach your Bakharwal Dog to sit up whenever she hears the words. There's a good chance, if she has been diligently taught, you will only have to summon her out into the room, show her a treat, hold it up a suitable distance from the ground, say "sit" and she will do so. Then just give her the treat while still in position.
The only criteria for perfection is to practice with your Bakharwal Dog multiple times daily until she can sit on command and without being shown a treat; give her the rewards only once she has adhered to the direction.
Teach Your Bakharwal Dog Other Tricks
You have now the fundamentals for teaching your Bakharwal Dog many other tricks. She can now learn how to beg by moving your hand up and down in front of her paws, which she'll move in rhythm with yours. She also can learn to salute by bringing one paw to the side of her head, or to hold something in her mouth, or to wear a cap on her head or wear other clothes.
In instructing a Bakharwal Dog to submit to being dressed up, don't try to get her to wear too many garments at once. Try her at first with just a cap. Soon after she gets used to that you could put on a coat and steadily introduce her to more clothes.
Delight in "teaching your Bakharwal Dog the sit up trick" and most importantly have fun along the way!
