This is all one command.  Precision Heel. Sit when you stop.

Dogs will not move until commanded, no matter what is going on around them.  Down in motion: Walking fast and commanding “down”; your dog must follow the command and “down”. You will keep walking while your dog remains in position.  Sit in motion : Walking fast and giving the “sit” command; your dog will stay in position while you walk away quickly.  Starting out of sight commands: This means dog must stay in positions even if you are out of their sight and a distance away from you.  Starting “off leash heeling” and “off leash basic commands” .  Back up.
