Teach your dog sit. One of your dog's first lessons should be "sit." A command you'll use often, it's one of the best ways to keep your dog out of trouble.

In training, keep two things in mind. First, always use the exact same word for your command. Second, brief lessons (two or three repetitions), given in the spirit of play, will make your dog an eager student.

Like all commands, "sit" is taught with minimum correction and maximum reward. Say "sit" firmly as you press down on your dog's rump (correction). As soon as its haunches reach the ground, LAVISH IT WITH PRAISE (reward). At first, your dog may spring right back up, but repeat the push gently, the command clearly, and the enthusiastic praise. In a few sessions your dog will have the idea.

Soon you can try standing slightly away from your dog and commanding it to sit. If it does not respond, do not scold. Instead, immediately press down on its rump as before and repeat the order. (Please remember to release your dog from a "sit" with a word like "free" so that it knows when it may get up again.) Once you and your dog have mastered this lesson, you both will be very proud and happy.

The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the U.S., a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the U.S.
