Make sure the dog is trying to track the treat with his eyes and nose throughout this process. The moment the dog tilts his head back to track the food shifts his weight to his lower body, and lands naturally on his hips in a sitting position, rewarding the dog with the food in his hand.
Repeat the above steps 3 or 4 times until the dog responds immediately to the owner's outstretched paw, then proceed to the next step. (Note that if the dog does not complete the action, the owner and the dog's distance or paw placement is not correct, the owner needs to make some adjustments)
