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? And it only sits when it sees a treat when i say sit without a treat it wont sit.

Recommended Answer:
You can teach your dog any hand signal you want...there is no specific right or wrong. There is a conventional signal that most people use. Some people want to give their dogs different signals or even commands in another language so they know their dog won't "obey" any command but theirs.
Your problem is that he only works for treats. You do need to start from square one, spend some time training with treats and then slowly but surely eliminate every other treat, every third one...making it random enough so that your dog won't know when it is coming or not...and will sit when told.
Your description or holding the treat above the dogs head and then moving your wrist back...is a conventional hand signal for sit. I am sure that it is much better to get your pup to sit by himself than by "gently pushing" his behind down. Though if you have a dog that needs that...then that is what you do. Different techniques for different dogs, depending on how well your dog gets what you are trying to tell him.

Puppy Dog Training in 7 Lessons

• trick the dog rub the treat in your hand then close the hand so there is nothing showing then hold the hand in the position to make him sit. when he does lots of praise and love. let the dog know that every trick does not necessarily get food. keep trying.. automatically sitting for a treat is a good thing. u don't want him jumping for it and possibly doing this to a stranger or knocking everyone down to get what he thinks is a treat.


• You have taught sit as a default behavior. This means that the dog sits without a command because he doesn't know what else to do to earn the treat or attention.
  
  To train a proper sit, remove the treat from the site of the dog. The treat has become a bribe.
  
  Taking a good obedience class will help you do this.
