How to train your gun dog

“Snap a leash on your dog’s collar. When he’s standing calmly by your side, gently pull up on the leash. Eventually, the pressure will cause him to sit. When he does, and only when he does, instantly give the command, ‘SIT.’ After a few repetitions, he will associate the command with the action, and he will sit on command.”
