SIT AT SIDE

Getting your dog to sit at your side is important for when you want them to wait at a door, wait on a walk before crossing a street, and sit during a greeting. 
Step 1- Lure the dog to your side. If needed take a step back with one leg to increase your luring distance. Then step forward to line them up next to your side.
Step 2- Ask and signal your dog to sit.
Step 3-
 When the dog's rear end hits the ground, say "Yes" and then reward.

FADING FOOD - REWARD WITH OPPOSITE HAND

Using food in training can help motivate your dog to do the behavior. The trick is that they do not have to see before 
doing a behavior. In order to prevent this, we must start fading the food out of our signal hand. 
Step 1- 
Have food in both hands signal with your right hand and then reward with the left hand. Then signal from your 
left hand and reward with your right hand. 
Step 2- 
Once you have done Step 1 a few times, then remove the treat from whatever hand you signal for the behavior. 
Then reward with the opposite hand.
Step 3- 
Stash the treats out of sight and have no food in either hand. Ask and signal for the behavior. 
When the dog does the behavior, reveal the stash of treat and reward them
.
WELL DONE! TIME TO GO TO WEEK THREE!
