Some dogs likely are what would, in humans, be called obstinate. You want the dog to associate the position with good feelings - his and yours. And never let him train you. Minimize noise and movement distractions during the training session. Take special care with young hips - don't force a completely uncooperative dog this way. When a dog is 'down' it can't knock over furniture or children. - Believe that the dog can associate consequences across time and conditions, then draw the same conclusion you would. It seems it should be obvious - they've done the action with success many times before - but today they are just 'being obstinate'. But they don't reason out or get context the way humans do. Watch and catch them in the middle of sitting and say 'sit' and gesture.Difficulty training 'sit' varies by breed, individual and training style. It also leads to behaviors like 'rollover' and 'crawl'. We can wsh it were so but it's not and never will be! Though the average grown dog has a mental development someplace approximately on the level of a human two year old, there are more deviations than there are similarities. The result is often a common catalogue of errors that can be, with more or less effort, headed off before they begin. When you see it give a unique voice command and hand gesture pair. But dogs tend to be happy when the alpha is, and upset when he is. The goal is to encourage, not punish.First, take advantage of the dog's spontaneous behavior. There are alternate explanations for their behavior. Simultaneously, gently take both the dog's forelegs and pull toward you, issuing the voice command. "Site" the dog then move the treat to the ground just in front of the nose. To start take advantage of spontaneous behavior. The latter they do only when they have no choice. Just dont EVER do it. Beyond the need to establish that you are the alpha (leader), it has a number of benefits.Encourage by taking a treat or toy. Dogs can be amazing at understanding spoken communication. 'Down' is one effective technique for imposing your alpha position. Now bring out other techniques. You have to be geared up to repeat the same order, day in and day out, and occasionally not get the same outcome.If the dog backs up do the technique near the couch or a fence where he has nowhere to go.Lets get one thing carved in stone right away - Dogs are not hairy fluffy kids. But that's reserved in the wild for only the most severe circumstances. With repetition comes understanding. So, the dog hasn't evolved to understand why you're hitting them.With a treat or toy, face the dog and place it above his head and slightly behind the forehead, but still visible. Most times, they are not ignoring the command as much as failing to understand it.Dogs, like humans, much more readily follow those they trust than those they fear.Most dogs won't go own the first few times. At completion praise lavishly and reward.Dog Training - Sit Command - Few behaviors are as fundamentally important as 'sit'. When the behavior is complete, praise lavishly.At first the dog will have no idea why it's being praised but it doesn't matter as with repetition the behavior will follow the command.Part of that patience means keeping your temper when you would like to lash out physically.After several repetitions try just using a 'waving down' hand movement, palm toward the floor
