Start with your dog standing in front of you. Hold a piece of kibble in your fingers and, starting with your hand at your side, bring it up slowly, folding your arm as if you were going to toss something over the same shoulder. Do this slowly, bringing the kibble past your dog's nose. Say “Sit†at the same time.
A great way to start is by deciding on a set of hand signals you are going to use with your dog and make sure everyone that interacts with him knows those cues.
If you adopted a new puppy recently, you probably need some pointers on getting your new furry friend to learn commands. So talk with your hands! While tiny.
