Jubel is good with sit as a voice command, hand signal, or both together but if he isn't within a few feet of me already and I ask for a sit he walks up and sits right in front of me. If we are walking and he starts pulling I'll usually ask him to sit and wait for a random amount of time before we start walking again and he doesn't walk back to me in that situation (ie whatever he was pulling towards is more interesting than me but he will listen and sit).
I'd like for him to simply sit where he currently is and not walk to me then sit. I tried working on this some the other night by not rewarding if he approached me to sit and blocking him with an extended leg when he tried. In the end I think I mostly only succeeded in confusing him.
If I ask for a down from a distance he doesn't have a problem so I tried having him go from a down to a sit but he would come towards me before sitting pretty much everytime. He did a few sits with approaching and I jackpoted those but so far it just isn't clicking and he started getting frustrated and just barking when I asked for a sit and not even moving.
Help.
