21 – Shaping Sit Up with Sarek

Sarek and I had our first session with sit up from down today. I thought it might be interesting for you to see a shaping session where a new behavior is shaped from scratch.

Sit pretty is a really good behavior to have on the repertoire if you want nice sit up from down.
