Does Not Want to Sit
Does Not Want to Sit
First and foremost, when the dog is not executing a moving exercise, we need to make sure he can do it while stationary
The trouble is that the dog wants to continue following the Handler. Therefore, we will get a longer leash to help the dog stay in the sitting position – 03:20 sec.
To help the dog even further, we will use Opposition Reflex– 04:44 sec.
We will slowly build up the distance between the dog and the Handler.
Another little detail, to make it easier for the dog, the Handler returns to him to release and reinforce. It helps the dog to understand not to move.
Now that the technique has improved after 2 weeks of training, we need to work on the attitude. You can see that the dog’s response to Opposition Reflexis ears pinned back and no eye contact with the Handler. We should go back to reinforcing a few times the moment the dog sits to help him out.
