Hey everyone I just want to leave this here for your pondering...
"SIT" does NOT have to be your go-to cue with your dog...it's great that they know it in different locations, but...not all dogs can MAINTAIN a long-term sit position comfortably...if you ask for a sit, and they lay down...that is ok! If they maybe do a wait, and can stand patiently...cool! There are breeds that cannot sit at all.
Depending on if you are chaining things together...challenge yourself and your dog to go about your training with fewer, if any sits sometimes....rewards for good things, especially in NEW locations. Be safe out there in the snow!
