Sorry for the clunky thread title.My 8 month mini poodle has had 2 lots of puppy classes both reward based.We have loved them.However.She has never learnt to sit or lie down without me either holding food to lure her or thinking I'm holding food.If I say 'sit!' She just looks at me unless I draw my hand back over her head.If I say 'Lie down!' she will only do it if I lure her with a small treat.I suppose the idea of is you gradually remove the food and they respond to the vocal command but THIS isn't happening.She just looks at me.I really need her to sit when I ask her when we are out and about.My trainer just says remove the lure but doesn't tell me what to do if she doesn't respond.Any tips?
