How to use させる in a series of verbs


When させる is used to say "let A do B", for example,

> Let the dog move forward.
>
> 犬を前に進ませる。

What if I add more verbs there? Say

> Let the dog move forward, sit in front of the wall and take a bite of the
> bone.

here is my attempt

> 犬を前に進ませて、壁の前に座らせて、骨を食べさせる。

Is this correct, or are there any other ways to express it more naturally?




Your sentence looks just fine. When you want to avoid saying させる many times
(esp. if there are even more actions), other options include:

  * 犬に、前に進んで壁の前に座って骨を食べるようにさせる。
  * 前に進み壁の前に座り骨を食べるよう、{犬に命令する/犬を動かす/犬を誘導する/etc}。
