Video Transcript

"Dogs by nature are routine and repetition animals. Throughout this, throughout this video segment I will show you a variety of commands that after practicing them with your dog, they actually will become a part of your daily routine and the dog's daily routing. Customer's often ask me how many times a day must I practice the sit command with my dog. I simply reply, three sits in the morning, three sits in the evening. Like I mentioned previous, when you feed your dog have them sit three to five seconds, put the food dish down. When you walk them have them get accustomed to sitting at the curb before you cross the street. And another tip is when you have guests come to your house, practice keeping your dog back three to, three to four feet, have them sit and be calm. After a matter of days and weeks the sit command will become so natural and routine for your dog, all you will have to do is tin man and your dog will sit. Good sit!"
