I know this has been covered in general before, but I can't find any posts with this specific problem. I'm trying to train my dog to get a lot closer to me on the sit in front. I've had great luck with hot dogs from the mouth in doing this, and I can now get him nuzzled right up against me. The problem is that it always takes a repeat of the command to get him to move in. That is, he'll come in and sit where he normally does, then I have to repeat the command, and he'll scoot up to where he should be. I admit, this may be a problem I've created, but still, it's a problem nonetheless.
Is it time to introduce a collar correction when he sits too far, or do you guys think he just needs more time to grasp the concept?

How old is the dog? I taught come as a position, the same as heel. Walk backwards and call the dog, reward when in position and correct when out of position. Make it fun vary your speed turn around ect. I also do heeling patterns with re-calls thrown in.
Mika's a little over a year right now. I'm teaching the come as a separate position from fußß, and his position so far is good, though a little crooked at times. I would prefer not to use a correction on this if at all possible, since his response when in drive is just incredible. But right now I can't think of another way without besides patience.
BTW to all, Kristen suggested taking advantage of his ball drive, but unfortunately he's just too loopy around his toys at this age to get him to listen.
