Teach Your Dog SIT on Command - Perfect SIT - Robert Cabral Dog Training Video

Teach your dog Sit on command is one of the very most basic things we teach our dogs. As we know all dogs will sit at one point or another, the issue becomes getting our dogs to sit when we ask them to. This is the core of dog obedience training and I cover this in this video.

Getting your dog to understand the finer points of the obedience is covered as well as the difference between a tuck sit and a roll sit. This training video will give you all of the information to get your dog to understand sit clearly, do it effectively and to make it THE PERFECT SIT!

I know Robert might be strict to his dogs, but damn it also shows how much he loves them and how they love him back ❤️

[Pamekeb]

Thanks for your time. Not everyone gives this lessons for free. Well explained, detailed, to the point. Excellent work

[madhausrotts]

[blinkfan]

Honestly i didn’t thought this was actually going to work but woww it worked!!! thank you so much for

[kirkwelch]

You put out the best dog training vids on YouTube IMO. My wife and I are currently working with a trainer on basic obedience with our newly acquired 1.5 yr. old Pitty/Bulldog mix. It's doubtful she'll ever be as accomplished as Goofey bit that won't stop me from trying. Why not, it's great fun for all of us and she's a fast learner.
Always a Thumbs Up from me. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us.

This man is very informative and is a master at his craft. 👏👍

[mattkarnung]

Indeed, wholeheartedly agrees with the previous comments. Clear and distinct voice, no fuss and just straightforward in a mild kind of manner. Two thumbs up 👍👍

[Tonytimedogtraining]

Robert you are one of my biggest inspirations and love watching your videos. Thank you for all of your videos that have taught me so much and have allowed me to follow my passion

[CamilleGG]

Anyone else LOL at Goofy's tail at 1:50? 😆😆 Happy happy boy!! Love that name for him too...💕 Also love at 6:56 he's like "Oh- I supposed to example again" 😁

[TeslaNick]

Love it. I've even got things to work on with "sit". These lessons are so valuable. I'm off to check the mechanics of my dog's sit now. Thanks as always Robert !

[evelyncorona]

I got a Shih Tzu about a week ago and the first name that came to mind about training was you. I have seen videos from other trainers but NO ONE like you. I really respect you and your knowledge of dogs. Can't say enough good things about your videos. GREAT job! Thank you for sharing!

[goranpetrovic]

robert you are amazing and i echo all the positive comments

I agree with you that this works with most dogs. When I got my first dog, this is what dog school and training had told me to do. And I practiced it on many dogs before where it worked.

Then there came my current dog.
I have to say in advance that she is a fearful dog and I don't "need" a sit command in her. She knows "wait", "go", "no" and "come" and with these four (necessary) commands I can jungle her safe in the average urban traffic of a small town.
But as I enjoy dog training, she enjoys it too and I like the challenge of working with fearful dogs, I every now and then try to sprinkle in some sit training approaches. And man can I tell you, that does not work with this dog.
When I put treats over her head, she always goes backwards, she never has lowered her back. Even gently laying my hand on her back (as shown to me in dog training sessions) while hovering the treat above her head, doesn't make her lower her back. She is stiff as a plank.

When I show her a treat and wait for her to offer me some behaviour (and man, I try this with this dog for two years now), there simply happens nothing. There were so many occasions now, I stood there for literally half an hour (I took the time) with the treat in my hand waiting for her to do anything (and if anybody had watched me during that time, he might have thought I had gone crazy), and she literally stood there for half an hour looking at me and doing nothing.

As she is very old and has arthitis, she usually, after short periods of standing, sits and lays down, for example when she's with me in the kitchen while I'm cooking.
But when I stand there with a treat, she simply won't.

As I said, teaching her the sit command isn't a main goal with her, as I focus on getting her comfortable with her daily routine, cars, other people, other dogs, driving inside a car, going to the vet, etc. She isn't still comfortable with me handling her sometimes. She maybe never will, as she was very traumatized when she came here.
But it would be interesting to know how to approach training with a dog like mine that doesn't offer behaviour and is in general fearful.

Watching your videos makes me want to get a dog even more!

[JAKE-ivyd]

You talked about the offering thing my dog loves to offer her hand to shake instead of other tricks and my grandfather really doesn’t care what she does so he’s kinda teaching her any trick is good and it’s hard to unteach that

[TiffanyNW]

Thank you for the release treat suggestion of throwing it on the ground. My dog thinks she can run to my pocket and hit me with her teeth for treats. I hope this will change that dynamic

[PetrickhaBotha]

Thanks for the video I have a selver German Shepherd puppy that I will love training
