This is called ‘offering behaviors’. Your dog has learned that when he sits he gets treated, so he is seeing if sitting will earn him a treat. If I have a food item in my hand, my dog will sit, down, rollover, give paw, etc. To try to get a treat!

Don’t treat her until you have given the command.

Also, you might be doing something similar with your hand when you get a treat that she associates with ‘sit’. Dogs respond more consistently to physical cues than to words, so that could be the issue.

Why do you want to the dog to poop inside? You train toilet issues the same way, regardless of where you want them to go. When you catch them toileting in the wrong place, you tell them NO, and run them immediately to the right place and praise.

You also have to clean up indoor mistakes with a cleaner like Nature’s Miracle to remove all trace of scent.
