Slowly move it above and behind his head
(just above his head - not too high),
luring him into a sit position.

... praise and immediately reinforce him with the tidbit
when he sits.

Repeat this several times until he sits smoothly and quickly
when lured into position.



I read that book, too, Candy!

But so did Bowser!
HIS Edition must have had an extra Chapter -
"How to NOT *fall* fur da Treet Trick!"

He can turn himself into a PRETZEL *watchin* the treat pass over his head!

"Not Too High" ~ I can RUB it tween his eyes and ears -
and he NEVER *stumbles* a bit!
Smooth as Silk - he'll look UP till his head won't GO any more UP -
then a quick TURN to keep the ole Treet IN Sight ...

But <SIT> ??

Maybe I could try tying a rope around his back knees -
a lil <tug> onna ropey from the front ....

Aw heck; who needs Anudder Dawg that can <SIT>?

I already GOT Two that can do THAT Trick!
