How to Teach a Dog to Sit Pretty

Training your dog can be tricky so we’ve made this blog to teach you, how to teach your dog, to sit pretty. It’s generally not a good idea for your dog to be truly begging for scraps at the table. However, getting him to sit pretty- act like he’s begging- is a fun and very comical trick to teach. Sitting pretty is a cute dog trick that is often referred to as “beg.” The dog starts in a sit and then raises up their front legs so he is sitting on just his back legs with front legs curled and held in front. This trick is easier to teach dogs who already have been taught how to sit. This is also a good trick that you can build other tricks off of. You can get your dog to act like she’s praying, or to reach for the sky if you make a gun-hand gesture. This is also a pretty good exercise for your dog. It’s almost like a yoga poses for dogs. As with any exercise, moderation is key. Start out at a slow pace that your dog is comfortable with, then gradually build up to where your dog is the most comfortable.
