Step 1
In Part Six of the Canine Good Citizen test your dog needs to demonstrate some basic obedience commands. Your dog has to do a sit and down on command.
-
Step 2
During the test you are not allowed to use treats or toys. Your dog has to do the commands by voice command or hand signal.
-
Step 3
The easiest way to teach the sit and down command is with the lure and reward method.
-
Step 4
Use a treat to guide your dog into a sit position and the down position. Keep repeating until your dog can do the command just by following your hand.
-
Step 5
When your dog can do both commands without the use of treats or toy, you and your dog are ready for this part of the test.
