Ya, he easilly does 50 fast sits a day. Everytime out the door, everytime he gets fed, and everytime he gets anything else. However, if he is trying to get to a dog to play with him/her, or distracted by something else, he might not listen. Then I force him to sit by pushing on his butt.

I guess it makes sense he was talking about forcing the dog to sit when they want him to sit instead taking the time to teach him to sit. Considering the dog was 8 weeks old.
