Obedience classes
I have been to my first obedience class... Not that I think that I am particularly disobedient. It was an interesting class! Most of the class were puppies, who kept on yapping and yowling. I was the biggest dog there. There was one other dog there, a Bulldog who was as old as me. I spent a lot of my time just standing and watching as all the pups were quietened down and then taught how to sit. I sit by accident, when I back into something, the trainer regards me as a challenge and has already said that she has not yet had a dog that can not sit by the end of her lessons. We'll see! I lie down really well and by the end of the session this is exactly what I did.

You can teach a hound the 'sitting action' in under fifteen minutes. Heres how (has worked with all my foster greys)
Start your hound facing down a slope, then simply run a treat down their nose, keeping it in contact with their head. You may need to gently press on their backside to encourage to sit.
