Knowing that it is one of the most useful skills in his entire life, it is important that you make it a point to teach the sit command in the early days of labrador retriever training. The said command is not only the basis for other more advanced commands but is also a great tool to control your pet especially when danger is at hand. If Fido gets excited every time he hears a speeding car approaching, the sit command can prevent him from running towards the car thus keeping him safe from possible accident.

Labrador retriever training may not be a very difficult task considering that labradors are versatile dogs. Patience, consistency along with enticing treats and positive training method will help your four-legged pet to perfect the sit command.
This skill can be taught anytime of the day provided the pup is at its best – not excited, not sick or stressed, not nervous. Stand in front of your pet and hold a treat right near his nose. It would be best to hold the treat in your closed hand so that he can only smell it. Slowly move your hand few inches upward. Naturally, he will look upward to follow your hand that is holding the treat. Give the command “sit” and say the word “good” the moment his rear touches the ground. more…
