asleep
until you show it who is boss, dont let it sleep on your bed or get on high places
thats a dominance thing
make sure it only has enough room to turn around and lay down in the crate
otherwise it will shit in there to show it is displeased with crate lifestyle (even if it can hold it in)
dont continually issue commands. so dont say "sit...sit..sit. sit. sit. SIT SIT SIT"
yelling and repeating doesnt teach it anything, only that you dont have control if you have to get all crazy
use a command like "unh" or "tssst" or something after the initial command. Then walk over and correct it. With a sit, have a treat and start at the nose, and start moving it in a line over the nose, brow, and head to the neck. Dog will naturally sit. praise!
