Just three days shy of her 4th birthday and 11 days shy of her First Gotcha Day, my girl Sally has finally mastered the "sit" command! We were joyous last night when she sat on command three times! This truly is a Christmas miracle as The Duchess is VERY stubborn.
A big shout out to Joanne who showed me how to teach her to sit in the first place!

I have a feeling Sally is going to sit a lot from now on .... an excellent way to beg for goodies. It must be a great feeling to have succeeded with a command.

How great is that. Your story has given me hope, I have not been trying that long. I can see by your success I have to be persistent. Great job to you all.

How do you teach a greyhound to sit down. I would love to teach Dash how.

When she wants a cookie, she just does a random sit and waits for the praise and the treat. Smarty pants!
Dashandus - go to your pup like you're going to give him a hug from the side - left are around the backs of his knees and right arm around his chest. Gently push on his chest so that his body goes back and press your left arm against the backs of his knees to guide him into a sit. It took Sally by surprise. I just did it a few times a day, each time saying "Good sit!" And giving her a treat. Also, I'd show her the treat first and then get her into the sit position, then reward. It took quite a few months but now she can do it!

Yeah it's a good feeling when they learn a new command/trick. Not sure how excitable Sally is, moves does this hop/sit hybrid when she gets excited for a treat. It's really funny lol

Good girl Sally! All Buffy has to do for a treat is perk her ears - better not tell her what you do for a cookie! Lol
