Here's a page about teaching sit:

Generally I recommend teaching "Leave it" as the first command. It's really simple to teach and takes 2-3 minutes before your dog understands the basics of it:

Improve Your Training Sessions With These Dog Training Tips - Part 1
- Putting the treat on the ground is the method of luring a dog into "Down".
To teach her sit, hold the treat in your hand so that she can smell it but not eat it. Put it to her nose, and then slowly draw the treat backwards from her nose right over the top of her head, towards her shoulders. Most dogs will raise their heads up to follow the progress of the treat, and as the head goes up, the bum goes down. Don't use any command at all when you first start- you don't want her to think "Sit" means "backing up to get the treat" or "squatting slightly". ONLY add in the "sit" command when her bum is fully on the ground. Action first, command second. - For sit: Hold a treat in your hand, in front of her nose, slowly move the treat forward(backward if your looking from her eyes) over her head. This should lure her naturally into a sitting position.
Once she is used to being lured into this position, start saying "Sit" just before she sits until she does it with just the word cue and needs no lure. - have the treat in your hand. walk towards her showing her the treat, so she might even back up which is great, and then put it over her head and she should sit and say sit and treat her
if it doesn't work, take it away and not try for a few minutes
it might not work on first few tries
i make sure i have a wall behind my dog so when he backs up into wall he automatically sits - Hold the treat above her nose and gently push her butt down. As soon as her butt hits the floor, give her the treat. Do this repeatedly until she gets the message and will do the command without a treat. Be patient......this isn't going to happen in 2 sessions.

http://www.chihuahuainfoonline.com - Okay. It's fine. I'll give you the jist on how to sit and lay down as they are key to obedience.
This is how my info works. The first way of teaching is luring the dog to the position you want them. The second is showing them by placing them where you want them.
Sit:
Take her favourite treat/toy and move it above her head so she has to lean back, and most likely sit. But before you do this, say the command sit, wait 2 seconds and then draw it just out of reach, JUST, so she might sit.
Another way is to find a spot where you only have to put light pressure on to make them sit. It is located near their tail, on either side. Experiment untill you see her slightly drop her hindquarters (It means you have found the spot). Then, kneeling beside her say sit and 2 seconds later put pressure on that spot.
After BOTH (if they work) reward.
Down:
Get her to sit down (if she knows how; if she doesn't, teach her that trick first). Then tell her "down" or whatever command you want to use. Then, take her favourite treat/toy and put it just out of reach and slowly lower it down to the ground at an angle so it gets farther away and to the ground. It takes a couple tries.
Another way is to get her to sit. Then, lift her legs and slowly lower her to the ground. She will wriggle. It will take a couple of tries before she'll let you, probably.
After her chest hits the ground, immediately reward her!!
POINTERS:
- Teach her one at a time
- Reward every time
- Consistancy.
- make a few short lessons a day, not 1 long one. Even 1 short lesson a day will do something
