Teaching Basic Obedience; The "Sit" Command - SportDOG SportHunter 800 Manual De Instrucciones

Teaching Basic Obedience

Note: Keep your dog close to you while teaching the "Sit" command.

The "Sit" Command

1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your dog's neck ABOVE the Collar Receiver, and attach a
3 metre lead. Note: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
2. Hold your lead and Remote Transmitter in one hand. Press and hold the Side Button to send
an Audible Tone to your dog while saying "Sit" and if necessary using your free hand to guide
your dog into a "Sit" position. Release the Side Button immediately when your dog sits. Repeat
this several times.
3. If your dog sits reliably on receiving the Audible Tone and the spoken "Sit" command, then
training is complete. Release your dog from the "Sit" position and praise him. If not, move on
to Step 4.
4. Hold the lead and Remote Transmitter in one hand. Press and hold the Upper Button to send
an Audible Tone and Stimulation to your dog while saying "Sit" and if necessary using your free
hand to guide your dog into the "Sit" position. Release the Upper Button immediately when
your dog sits. Repeat this several times.
5. If your dog now sits reliably on receiving an Audible Tone and Stimulation with the spoken
"Sit" command, he may now be ready to respond without Stimulation. Take a play break and
then go back and repeat from Step 2 with Audible Tone only.
