Are you aspiring to teach your Cordoba Fighting Dog to sit? The technique of sitting up is easily taught to compact dogs, yet bigger pet dogs are a different story. It is problematic for them to sustain their balance.
Teach Your Cordoba Fighting Dog to Sit: Preparation
Sitting up is one of the fundamental techniques that you should teach to a Cordoba Fighting Dog and provides the ground work for a number of other techniques. In order to train a Cordoba Fighting Dog to sit up, organize some treats as a perk, and place the Cordoba Fighting Dog on her haunches in a corner, to ensure that she won’t fall either aft or sideways and has very little or no room to lose balance.
Teach Your Cordoba Fighting Dog to Sit: Acquaint Her With The Words
Keep her from tilting to the front by holding your hand underneath her chin and using your second hand hold her reward above the Cordoba Fighting Dog’s face. Keep repeating deliberately and clearly, “sit up.” Don’t make her sit for too long at one time, however repeat the instruction regularly and reward her frequently with plenty of adoration and snacks.
Teach Your Cordoba Fighting Dog to Sit: Help Her Balance
In the beginner lesson she will need significant help and support from your hand to prevent her from pitching forward, but as she gets more control of her muscles and grasps what you want her to do, she’ll rely less and less on your hand to keep her in position. Gradually, you can give her less help up until you will just have to leave one hand in position 2 or 3 inches from her chin or neck, to be in position to prevent her from falling forward; later you can probably take away this hand completely and just dangle the reward just above the level of her face.
Teach Your Cordoba Fighting Dog To Sit: Remove the Help Incrementally
After steady practice she will sit up well after you make her. The next step is she should be set up against your wall, so as to provide her a support for her back only. When she has learned this and can maintain her posture easily, practice with her against chair legs, pillows or other things that offer her less and less support. Sooner or later she will learn how to preserve her balance and sit up without having anything to rest against.
Teach Your Cordoba Fighting Dog to Sit: Putting It All Together
In the course of all this training the words "sit up" will have been instilled upon her psyche with the assistance of constant repetition. Last comes the final training to teach your Cordoba Fighting Dog to sit up whenever she hears the command. Chances are, if she has been carefully trained, you will just have to call her out into the room, reveal to her a reward, hold it up a reasonable distance from the floor, say "sit up or sit" and she'll obey. Then you'll just give her the reward while still in position.
The only condition for perfection is to rehearse with her multiple times daily until she sits up when told and without being shown a snack; give her the treats only once she has complied with the order.
Teach Your Cordoba Fighting Dog Other Tricks
You have now the foundation for teaching your Cordoba Fighting Dog many other skills. She now can be taught how to beg by waving your hand up and down in front of her paws, which she will move in coordination with yours. She also can be taught 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.
