Stand in front of your dog with a treat in your hand. Lure your dog’s nose up above the shoulders while applying a slight backwards (spacial only) pressure so that your dog is leaning slightly on the back feet. As your dog lifts her head for the treat, she will sit down to accommodate the close proximity of the treat to her nose. Mark and treat as her rump hits the floor.
