When I was about 10 or 12 years of age , my folks had a tiny dog that would not listen or do anything on command. This tract was written to assist other people that are in similar situations as I have been taught how to train a dog since that point.
There are 4 steps in coaching a golden retrievers or any other dog to do any behavior including sitting. Once you understand these 4 steps, you can just about teach your dog any behavior that you need. The process is the same whether you train your dog to roll over or to sit.
To begin your coaching, you'll need some treats that your dog loves. You may be anything except it has to be cut in minute pieces so you can train many times in a row without your dog getting stuffed. What I recommend that you do, is get a package of turkey sausages and cut them in very small pea size pieces.
1. Take a treat in your right hand and bring it to your dog's nose. Then move your up to make him look up and then move your hand towards him. If you do this properly, your dog will have no choice but to sit down to follow the treat. As fast as your dog sits down you would like to say the word yes and then instantly giving him a treat.
2. When you have gotten used to getting your dog into the set position with the first exercise, you'll want to say the word sit just as he sits down. This may get the dog to associate the command set with the behavior of sitting. It could take one or two days before your dog really begin to get this.
3. The third step to get the dog to sit while not having to use food to station him. The way that I do it is I'd use food 2 in a row to make them set and then on the 3rd time I'd just say sit without having my hand and treat getting him to sit.
4. In this last step, you will want to entirely get rid of the treats from the training. Ultimately you'll want to be able to get your dog to sit anywhere that you are without having to use treats. So the way that I do it is to randomly give him goodies for sitting, or often I only give my dog a treat when he replies extremely fast to my command. This way, the dog never knows whether he is going to get a treat or not.
Tip: Even without any treat, you'll always need to fortify your dog verbally by giving him prais

Tip: Even without any treat, you'll always need to fortify your dog verbally by giving him praise and entertaining him when he does what you need. You should never get upset or frustrated if your dog doesn't do what you need. If that occurs, you just have to readjust your coaching so that you can succeed and that your dog can achieve success.
