Dog Health Questions: Dog training problem?

I think i taught my dog wrong about the command "sit". Because my training technique for sit is i hold up a treat above my puppy's face and move it backward and my puppy will automatically sit or i could hold a treat above my puppy's face and gently lower my puppy's behind (I JUST READ THAT FROM THE INTERNET). And my puppy does that. But whenever my puppy just see a treat it automatically sits whitout me saying "sit". What can i do? Will it be forever wrong?

Recommended Answer:
The treat should remain curled inside your hand until you are kneeling or standing in front on the puppy, then in a smooth fairly quick movement raise it up, & the instant its butt hits the floor say "sit", then give the reward.

The pup should not be given a reward unless it gives the behavior you want when you ask for it.

If it sits when you don't want it to ignore it, until the pup gets up, hide the treat & start again.

• i taught my puppy to sir paw other paw lay and then roll over
  
  she got this down to a t
  but now when she see a treat she will go straight to roll over lol
  just to get the treat faster they are very smart
  
  so now i just mix it up a bit and add stay or Kiss in it she never knows what is coming First so she has stooped going to roll over First lol
  
  if you dog sits with out being ask then just ask her to do something different like paw then give the treat


• Just teach it more stuff so it does not know what it has to do for the treat and will have to wait and listen for your command. It's normal, don't worry, it's called anticipation.


• this is a good thing... it happens with mine too. its their way of being good for the treat, without you even asking them to... its a good thing...still praise him for this.... good luck
