How can i train my dog to sit and to leash walk him? URGENT HELP?
She's 5 months old. Is it too late too train her for this?
1. How do i train her to sit?*
*I already did the technique wherein you hold a treat near your pet's nose. Then slowly back away. But it doesnt work! HELP?! Any suggestions on how to make it easier? How long will it take for her to master the "sit" command? Please put here the techniques you did in teaching your dog how to sit. I really, really, need help. :(
2. How can i leash walk her without her trying to walk infront of me? Is there any way she can behave?
3. She already thinks that she's the alpha dog. How can i make her believe that she is not, and i am her master?
She's a JapSpitz.
First of all, throw that "alpha" nonsense out and work with your dog as a partner not a boss.
If you leave your dog in a sitting position to get a toy or treat and she is up when you get back, DO NOT give her the toy or treat, as you will be rewarding her getting up. Timing in training is crucial so be careful not to reward the wrong thing.
Many a dog trainer has gotten themselves into a corner training this way, especially for competition work and rewarding the wrong thing is usually the cause of an owner saying their dog does it sometimes but not always. It's because the training wasn't done correctly, not that the dog forgot or is stubborn.
1. Put your dog in a standing position with a wall behind her so she can not back up. With a treat in your hand, bring your hand up over the top of her head but do not give it to her until her bottom hits the ground, then treat and praise. Keep the treat low, directly over her head.
2. Teaching her to walk calmly on lead is here;

3. You can teach your puppy many things, but until you learn to work with her on a fair basis, if will be difficult. Bullying your dog will produce a dog that acts either like a robot, or a dog with aggressive tendencies. I'm sure you don't want either one. Never yell, or hit. Use your hands only for petting, feeding, or placing your dog where you want her. There are many wonderfully positive training sites on the web that can show you how to do this, so search them out and learn how to train positively. The trainers that need to bully their dogs into submission are trainers that have not learned how to train correctly. You dog isn't thinking she's alpha, she is simply doing whatever she wants because you have not shown her what you expect of her. Dogs do what works,and if she gets attention by misbehaving, then that's what she will do, however if she gets rewarded for doing what you want her to, then that will get repeated.
