Sitting: Why, What it Does, and How it's Best Used

Audio

Description

The reason we make dogs sit is usually to gain control over them and help them calm down. But does this method actually work, and are there better alternatives? Which dogs succeed with sitting as a calming technique, and why? Also, are there any dogs that should not be asked to sit? Sitting is offered as a natural behavior by dogs for many reasons such as watching, waiting, and submission or acquiescing. So how can we tell if asking a dog to sit is achieving the desired behavior? Join me and my mentor, friend and guest, Phyllis Smuland of Canine Counselor Inc. as we dissect the common practice of dog sitting, why we do it, and if we need to. There are several photos we reference during this talk. To view the photos please go to my Facebook page Hart to Heart Canine Dated 1-27-25 https://www.facebook.com/share/19gQocof5H/ Also I will post this podcat on my Youtube channel - What Dogs HAve Taught Me - and insert the photos into the audio for you to see. https://www.youtube.com/@juliehartdogrehab/videos Phyllis' website is www.caninecounselorinc.com
