ππ Sit to Say Please ππ
At home and when out with our Oodle Adventure crew, one of our favourite manners we practice is βsit to say please!β β¨πΎ
βοΈBefore getting treats, hopping out of the car, clipping leads on, opening gates, or throwing toys β we ask the dogs to calmly sit first. Itβs such a simple skill, but it teaches SO much more than just obedience.
πΆ Sitting politely helps dogs learn:
β’ Patience
β’ Impulse control
β’ Calm behaviour
β’ Focus around distractions
β’ Good manners with people & other dogs
Dogs quickly learn that jumping, barking, or rushing doesnβt get them what they want β calm behaviour does. π
The best part? Once it becomes expected and consistent, the dogs start offering the behaviour automatically to βask nicelyβ for things in everyday life. π
Consistency is key:
β¨ Sit = good things happen
β¨ Calm dogs get rewarded
β¨ Manners become habit
Little daily habits create wonderful dogs! πΎ
