We Spent That Week Looking for Her owner, But No Luck. when We Moved We Couldn't Leave Her Alone So We Packed her Up And brought Her Along and Are In The Process Of Spoiling Her (In a good way)
Now heres were the problem comes in..sorta..
When She showed up apparently she had known the command sit.
Well im going trough agility and tricks training with her.
Every-time I Try To Teach her A trick, I can Spend 2 Days Trying To Teach her The command Limp. (holding her paw and pulling her gently forward until she 'hops' on 3 legs like a limp, giving her the command and then rewarding her.) This has worked on other dogs but with her when i go to give her the command with out showing her I get her to walk then say limp and she sits, she thinks every command means fr her to sit.
Is she confused, maybe from a rough past? Im not sure..shes a labrador..any advice? (Oh yeah her rewards are little pea sized hot dog bits. and a verbal praise and pat on the head=] )

I think that it's not so much that she thinks all commands mean "sit", as much as when she doesn't understand what to do, she sits down, thinking that's a good thing. It probably stemmed from you praising her a lot when she initially showed up on your doorstep and you asked her to sit and she did.
Now, when you are teaching her a different command, if she sits, just say "No", and repeat the name of the command and show her again what to do. When she does what you want, say "Good command name" (e.g., "Good Limp"). I have found that following "Good" with the command name works really well, rather than just saying "Good girl" each time.
By the way, awesome job in adopting this lab who showed up on your doorstep. Taking her into your home and heart was really a wonderful thing!
Take care, and all the best.
