The ideal conclusion to play or training sessions with your dog is for the dog to feel both exhausted and accomplished. A few of sessions of doggy sit-ups may provide a feeling of success in both you and your dog and reinforce obedience. For these, it is helpful to have a supply of small goodies on hand. Initially, you may need to have a little snack after each workout session. Eventually, the objective will be to complete the full set prior to earning a reward.
Begin by teaching your dog to sit. Once sitting, have him lie down, then sit, and then stand. This represents one sit-up. In an ideal session, your dog will repeat this series of maneuvers 10 times, but initially you may only be able to get his cooperation for one or two repetitions. That suffices. Add one extra turn before he receives his reward every few days until he has completed all ten.
This practice emphasizes the fundamental directions to sit, remain, and lie down. If your dog has not yet learned these instructions, you will need to teach them simultaneously. This enables you to do two tasks simultaneously. Keep in mind, though, that learning a new command might be exhausting. Adjust the amount of sit-ups properly, otherwise the dog will get really frustrated.
Dogs like the feeling of having made their owners happy. Allowing your dog to include some of the most basic instructions into your play session will make him feel as like he has completed this work, and he will be more willing to perform anything else you have planned for him during this time.
