Since dogs can't understand spoken languages, saying the word "sit" is only beneficial for the trainer. Instead, dogs act according to the sounds they hear from our mouths. So why not associate a word a little bit more pleasant than "sit" with the command to sit. Why not "boop"? Or perhaps "bop"? Or maybe you're more of a "MOOO" person. Whichever one you choose, it will be more fun to say than "sit." And your dog won't know the difference.
Once again, my little pup taught me a lesson: make everything a creative experience!
