How to Teach Your Wheaten Terrier to Sit Using This Free Dog Obedience Training Video

Hi! I’m Melanie McLeroy with Taurus Training for Expert Village. It’s time to work with a Wheaten Terrier. Maddy, the Wheaten Terrier is going to learn how to sit. Now Maddy is a bit older of the Wheaten. If you’re starting out with a Wheaten puppy some of these techniques may not work for you. So check out the video of the different breed, because the techniques that we use very widely among individual dogs, breeds, owner preferences, all sorts of things. Since Maddy is so responsive, I’m going to go right to using a hand signal. She’s really checking in with me quite a bit. So she may just follow my hand into the sit command. Good or she might be psychic. As you can see, all I have to do is barely move forward and she sat. Now what I didn’t do there was mark it and reward her, because it caught me by surprise that does not matter we’ll try it again. I’m going to say her name first this time because I think that’s going to cause her to automatically sit, Maddy, good, very nice. So this is what we call using serendipity in dog training. Okay, sit, good. So what I need to do is start saying the word as she does it. Now one really remarkable thing about how well Maddy is doing is that we’re getting an automatic sit for attention instead of her jumping, which is what most Wheaten Terriers do for attention and I’m able to connect a command to that action all at the same time. I’m getting an automatic sit, Maddy, good and okay, sit, good. So with this Wheaten Terrier, we’re killing two birds with one stone. We’re going to move on to the down command next.
