At seven weeks of age Kensho already mastered the SIT command. I’m using a nonverbal command using my right hand and not my voice. It’s very convenient to teach a puppy this SIT command at an early stage. This way I can get Kensho to sit down before crossing the street or tell him to quiet down when my attention is somewhere else (like paying for groceries).
First you must learn your Akita puppy the new command indoors. The idea is that there is less distraction in the house.
When your Akita puppy understands the link between the command and his behavior (dogs learn by association) you can move outdoors and practice the SIT command in quiet areas. Only when your pup has full understanding of this command you move on to the third phase which is to practice the SIT command outdoors in areas with distractions (like playing children).
