How to Teach a Golden Retriever Puppy to Sit
- 1). Attach a leash to your dog. Bring him outside in a fenced in yard with no distractions. If you prefer, you can also keep him inside the house.
- 2). Say "Sit" and hold a treat up to her nose. Raise the treat above your golden retriever's head, while continuing to say "Sit." She will bend her head up to see the treat, and eventually be forced into a sitting position. Give her the treat when she is finally sitting.
- 3). Praise your dog enthusiastically. Golden retrievers respond best to positive training, so clap your hands, and tell your puppy he's a good boy using a friendly tone of voice.
