Using SIT: Level 1 as a default behavior. Here we begin developing a default SIT upon exiting the car. We use SIT: Level 1 as a default behavior on recall. We will begin developing a default SIT before exiting (and entering) the exterior door at home.

When can you use Sit? How can you start appying it to making your own life easier?
You now have a major tool for teaching the dog to control herself. Think about self-control in ALL your interactions with her. She wants her supper, she can Sit while you put the dish down. She wants you to open the door, she can Sit. She wants you to toss a toy for her? She can Sit. She wants to be petted? She can Sit.
"Wow, Binkie! You have to see this! I can get anything I want! Watch! I go to the door and Sit....and Shazam....they open it!"
Where can she Sit? Can she Sit on the floor? On grass? On carpet? On a chair? On a grooming table? On the floor of your car? On top of her crate? Under a table? Halfway up the stairs?
Can she Sit for other members of your family? For strangers? Kids? Men with beards? Guys with police hats?
Can she Sit during TV commercials? When you open the oven door? When the doorbell rings? When you're on the phone? When you're putting on your coat? When you're brushing your teeth? While you're peeling carrots? While you're putting on her leash and collar?
Yes, we're STILL talking about Level One: SIT
