Japanese Akita Dog Training sits in an angle–

An assistant walks at the left side of the dog. If the dog swings the hindquarters away from the handler, the assistant taps the dog gently on the dog’s left hip to make the dog sit straight. The hand or a light rod can be used to tap the dog, but praise must be given with the correction.

If the crooked is sitting in the opposite direction, reach back with your right foot and gently tap the dog’s right hip to make the dog straighten out.

Japanese Akita Dog Is Slow To Sit on the Halt-

While heeling, wad or roll the handle of the leash into a ball and hold it in your left hand. Keep the elbow. Come to a halt and after your feet come together, pull the leash backward with force. This can make the dog sit quickly. Give praise at the same time. The important thing is to have no motion of the feet at the time you pull the leash.

Alternate correction: an assistant walks at the dog’s left after the handler halts, the assistant spank the large dog to a sitting position, to make the dog sit faster.

The Japanese Akita Lies Down During The sits-stay-

Fasten along line to the dog’s collar. Run the line trough a ring placed four or five feet above the dog. Ask an assistant to stand off to one side and hold the end of the line. When the dog starts to lie down, a tug on the line will bring the dog to a sitting position.

To correct the dog that lies down when the leash is off, saunter or walk back leisurely until you are directly in front of the dog, then quickly reach out with your foot and tap or scuff into the front paws. When the dog is sitting; praise and pat the dog.

If the dog lies down on a slippery floor, try sliding something along the floor underneath the dog to make the dog jump to a sitting position. Say “Sit”.
