Teach your real dog

Cue word: "Sit pretty" · Hand signal: 🙏 Hands together · Learn first: Beg

  1. Ask for a sit
  2. Raise the treat slowly above the nose
  3. Click when the front paws lift
  4. Hold for 1 second with paws together

Common mistake

If the rear lifts, reset to a sit.

It works the core — keep it short.
