Sit Challenge - National Train Your Dog Month

Do you think your dog "knows" sit? Take the sit throw-down challenge. You can find Dr. Ian Dunbar's sit test here - http://www.clickersolutions.com/articles/2001/sittest.htm
Post a video response showing how you've helped your dog to generalize "sit." FYI - - the points don't matter. And the winner - well that's everyone who helps his/her dog generalize this behavior using positive training methods.

Be sure to stop by Lisa's channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/lisarnocn . Lisa owns that lovely doberman, Kelly. Stop by http://www.youtube.com/user/krysova for Anita's channel. Anita owns those gorgeous German Shepherd Dogs. And, of course, you can visit my channel http://www.youtube.com/user/rogersmmr
for more ridgeback videos and some unique tricks.

OK, Marge. Have I told you lately that I love you? And Rounder? And Pride?  Because I do. Fantasticism abounds here. Who are the other pups? When did you get a Dobie and a GSD?

[rogersmmr]

@RewardingBehaviors You are too funny! :-D The Dobie & the GSD aren't mine. They belong to my training buddies. We get together for R+ training sessions & to learn from each other. We had a blast doing this. Have to say - Pride surprised me with how fast he was able to generalize his 'sit' into these different situations. I think it's all that trick training. It improved our communication and focus (his and mine). ;-)

Cool! :)

This is AWESOME!! I don't think many people with a sighthound would believe their dog could do the sit from running or recall. Great job!!

Love it! My girl Jade is getting close,but I still have a ways to go!

[lisarnocn]

Yes, the clothes :)

My little Dober girl would have frozen that day in the 35 degree Florida weather if I hadn't put her coat and neck gaiter on!
