Try hiding treats on you or around your house so you can reward when he is least expecting and sits quickly when cued without a treat. Kinda like a surprise reward- He'll think, "hey, I didn't know treats were involved! Next time I will do it fast because I may (or may not) get a treat." Works the same way a DRE schedule increases motivation. If you use a word marker, use it only when it ensures a treat. Use another form of praise if you don't have treats or ignore him completely if he is slow in response to your cue. I agree with staying away from corrections. The problem is in his motivation more than disobedience. Top Paw Training: serving Canyon Lake & New Braunfels, San Antonio to Austin.

I did this with my APB who is deaf while we are working on "sit and look at me" as a default behavior (when there are no commands). "Properly trained, a man can be dog's best friend." ~Corey Ford
